at 2515 Pilot Knob Road, with certain findings of fact and conditions as noted herein.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that
the Critical Area Permit and Conditional Use Permit as proposed under Planning Case 2017-18

with the Comprehensive Plan.
B. The proposed project meets the purpose and intent of the Critical Area Overlay
District, including the additional conditional use permit standards.
C. The proposed development will make a concerted effort to reduce the removal of
any significant trees on the subject property; the [professional] removal of

environment and native plant growth in this area; and provides a condition to help
replace and replenish the loss of some significant trees.
D. The proximity of the new home from the bluff line, along with all new [proposed]
grades for this site, will ensure that no stormwater drainage will negatively impact
neighboring residents; and help lessen any erosion or future degradation of the

Critical Area, if done carefully and professionally.
