Before the In-N-Out Burger planned for San Carlos can sling fries, it must first haul dirt.
On Monday night, the San Carlos Planning Commission is scheduled to green-light a request by the company to haul 3,200 cubic feet of grading across city-owned streets to Highway 101 where it will be taken away for other uses.
The future site of the restaurant is at 445 Industrial Road, a former sanitary sewer pump station that has since been demolished and removed. Rather than use the soil at the location, the project’s engineer advised it to use engineered fill.
If approved, the dirt down to a four-foot level will be removed in a series of an estimated 150 truck trips and later reused in landscape and non-structural areas.

In-N-Out requires a special grading and haul permit because it involves more than 1,000 cubic yards. Removing the soil will not affect the drainage or stability of other properties in the area or affect residents as there are no homes along the hauling route, according to city staff.
The hauling request brings the fast-food restaurant one step closer to completion. The city had been marketing the vacant land parcel since March 2005 and in October 2009 began looking at a $1.6 million offer by In-N-Out. It will be the fourth for San Mateo County, after other restaurants in Daly City, Millbrae and Redwood City.
The San Carlos Planning Commission meets at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 15 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.
