fill dirt and a shipping area. The plan shows piles which are 15 feet high and 40 feet in diameter. Access around each pile, as well as access to all parking and the building, is identified. _nspections of the site revealed that the activity on the site did not conform with the approved permit. Due to changes in demand, Mr. Guss began to stockpile dirt. Inspections revealed one large pile of dirt approximately 20 feet high and covering most of the lot. The pile of dirt went up to the fences on the east, north and west property lines. Emergency access was not provided. On February 21, 1995, staff contacted Mr. Guss on the site. During that conversation, Mr. Guss was required to stop bringing dirt to the site and to apply for a modification to the Conditional Use Permit, if he planned to continue the activity in this manner. Follow-up inspections revealed no substantial change in the activity. On June 26, 1995 a Notice of Violation was issued to Mr. Guss requiring that he cease all activity on the site, submit an action plan to bring the site into compliance and secure required grading permits. Mr. Guss did not submit the action plan as required and the condition of the site did not change substantially. On July 26, 1995, staff met with Mr. Guss. He indicated at that time that he was not accepting more dirt Mr. Guss submitted receipts demonstrating that dirt was being removed from the site. During a follow-up inspection conducted on November 2, 1995, staff found that there was a large ile of dirt on Eden Road. Two loaders were working on the pile of dirt. The pile completely :)structed the emergency access to the Water Pollution Control Plant. In addition, the volume of dirt on the property continued to exceed what had been approved in the pern-it. In response to the continued violations, a hearing was held on November 15, 1995 before the Zoning Enforcement Official, Steve Emslie, for the purpose of determining compliance with the Conditional Use Permit. In the hearing, staff and Mr. Guss agreed to several conditions to bring the site into compliance. On Januan• 26, 1996, Andrew Gaber, Senior Engineer, issued a Notice of Pending Citation for failure to comply with the Use Permit and for placing material onto Eden Road and the Galbraith Golf Course service yard in violation of the City_'_'-s Grading Ordinance. Inspections revealed that the westerly 250 feet of Eden Road had been raised an average of 2.5 feet, and that additional material had been added to the stock pile on the site. Mr. Guss was required to submit a Grading Permit Application and a Grading and Erosion Control Plan, and remove the fill placed on Eden Road and the golf course site. Erosion and mud control measures were required during the removal work and all work was to be completed by March 1, 1996 (as agreed in the November 15, 1995 Hearing).
