<br />City Council Regular Meeting - OS/22/06 <br />Minutes - Page 21 <br /> <br />of the development project and other site actIvItIes (i.e., <br />contamination testing of soils); public road and right-of-way <br />construction activities; equipment specifications and <br />considerations, as well as road restriction concerns; <br />transportation logistics; additional costs of additional truck <br />traffic on City streets and wasted fossil fuels for hauling <br />materials off-site; and estimating six months for crushing <br />activities. <br /> <br />Mr . Johnson noted that, from a personal and company <br />perspective, they wouldn't be proposing this if there was a risk to <br />people, the park, or the lake, and additional testing, above that <br />required, was being done to alleviate concerns; and that all <br />possible considerations were being given to minimize any <br />negative impacts to the community and surrounding <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />Jason Kunze, Braun Intertec <br />Mr. Kunze addressed concerns regarding additional investigation <br />work yet to be done on site, in cooperation with and under the <br />direction of the MPCA; isolation of those areas; and unknowns <br />yet to be determined. <br />Public Comment <br />Mayor Klausing, while noting that the Public Hearing related to <br />this request had been held at the Planning Commission, invited <br />public comment ifnot previously and/or adequately addressed. <br /> <br />Terry Moses, 1776 Maple Lane <br />Mr. Moses supported the reuse of materials, while opining his <br />preference for the industrial site used by Schaeffer Construction <br />during the Ramsey County project on County Road C, to protect <br />the "children and old people in the community," from potential <br />concrete dust contaminants. <br /> <br />Timothy Callahan, 3062 Shorewood Lane <br />Mr. Callahan spoke in support of the recycling; but spoke against <br />the location of the crushing operation. Mr. Callahan opined that <br />the stockpile was proposed too close to the wetland; and with the <br />alkaline content of the concrete, it would leak into the lake; and <br />that the proposed silt fences would not be sufficient to prevent <br />such runoff, thus further contaminating LangtonLake. <br />
