As a result of a grading and drainage permit, the first 90,000 cubic yards was recently removed from the sand pit area to raise a section of the Sedona Subdivision, also being developed by the applicant. Since this project has recently been completed, the remaining excavated soil will be sold to the public. Once the sand pit has been fully excavated, the remaining 33.5-acre sand pit will serve as a detention/amenity pond for the existing Duncan Plannedd Unit Development (PUD).

There were no recommendations for roadway or driveway improvements. The Engineering Department has reviewed the TIA and has no objections.

3 Setbacks Drainage, Lateral Support, and Geology Report Reclamation Land Values Bond Stafff Recommendationn No permit shall be issued for any excavation when any portion of the same shall be located within 200 feet of any public street or road. The proposed excavation is greaterr than 200 feet from the nearest public street or road. Based on the proposed engineered drawings, the Engineering Department has no objection to the request. The applicant shall install and maintain a drainage system to keep the excavation from collecting water, provide documentation from a certified engineer that identifies the characteristics of the soil in order to laterally stabilize the soil subject to the soil conditions, and provide a written geology report from a certified geologist for anyy excavation within 2,500 feet of an existing water well. The applicant has provided engineered construction plans and a Water Well Search and Geological Assessment Report for the site. The construction plans have addressed how storm water will exit the site in a controlled manner as well as how the sides will be laterally stability. In addition, the geologic study identified six (6) water wells within 2,500 feet of the proposed excavation. Then Engineering Department has reviewed these documents and has no objections to the proposed request. The applicant must supply an acceptable reclamation plan which specifies the intended use of the land following excavation whereby the result off the activity is reverted back to a beneficial land use. The applicant proposes to use the sand pit for a future detention/amenity pond. The detention will be for multiple developments within the Duncan PUD. The applicant s submitted exhibit has not been approved and is a conceptual plan. The proposed development is subject to the regulations of the Duncan PUD and any changes to the master plan mustt be approved by the City before the platting and construction phases for the propertyy can begin. Attachment 6 provides two maps that show the land and overall value of land on a per square foot basis. The valuation data came from the 2016 GCAD (Galveston County Appraisal District) assessments. The purpose of these maps are to identify the land values of the surrounding areas and to evaluate if theree are any anticipated negative effects ass a result of the proposed operation. The subject property values are in keeping with the surrounding properties within ¼ mile. The maps identify the difference in values are due too either 1) an improvement on the property such as a residence, or 2) the large size of a contiguous property. It should be noted that theree are several sand pits within the southwest region of League City where previous analysis have shown no change to the values. This suggests that an excavation operation neither increases or decreases land values of those surrounding uses and becomes negligentt with the surrounding area, especially once development surrounding the converted sand pit begins. The applicant is required to give the bond with a good and sufficient corporate surety in favor of the city in an amount no less than $100,000.00,, for which the bond shalll be conditioned that the permitteee shall comply with all the terms of such permit and all laws and ordinances relating to issuance of same. In addition, liability insurancee must be carried by the applicant in the amount to be no lesss than $1,000, Based on the proposed project, staff will recommend that amounts be set at $100,000 bond and $1,000,000 of liability insurance. Staff recommends approval of the Special Use Permit subjectt to the conditions listed below: 1. The Special Use Permit is valid beginningg on the date of adoption of this SUP ordinance andd will expire on December 31, Any extensions of this SUP shall be approved prior to thee expiration date of the permit. 2. The applicant shall submit a bond to the City of League City in the amount of $100, SUP16-02 (Duncan Sand Pit) August 29, 2016 P&Z Meeting Page 3 of 4

4 3. The applicant shall provide proof of insurance for the subject property in the amount of $1,000, and maintain such insurancee as long as excavation operations continue prior to the second reading of the request. 4.
