City Council Regular Meeting - OS/22/06 Minutes - Page 23 Terry Moses Mr. Moses stated that he had been asked to speak on behalf of Peg Lackey (3078 Evelyn Street); speaking in opposition to the Interim Use Permit due to concerns of prior uses of the buildings (i.e., auto body shop) and potential contaminates; again encouraging use of the industrial site located one mile away. Mayor Klausing requested additional comment and response from staff and the applicant addressing those concerns addressed by the public. Discussion included off-road equipment proposed for use on-site and no intent to use dump trucks, thus making the loading and relocation of the materials different considerations; exploration of other sites and options by the applicant; staff s comments on the Schaeffer Contracting crushing site and specifics of that project; silt fence use and protection of the wetland; best management practices and oversight by the City's Public Works Department to stop erosion and contain other impacts to the area; state and city regulations and requirements regarding stormwater management; requirements for storage facilities and ongoing monitoring; expertise of environmental engineers developing the plan for managing of environmental concerns on site and their broad scope throughout the project's phases; Braun Intertec's on- site status for further investigation and preparation of a remediation plan; and company credibility to this and future projects. Terry Moses Mr. Moses opined that, with the understaffing at the MPCA, their delay in inspecting the site once they were notified would be inadequate. Ihlan moved to deny the request for an Interim Use Permit at the site. The motion failed due to lack of a second. Itecess Itecess Mayor Klausing recessed the meeting at approximately 9:38 p.m. and reconvened at 9:50 p.m.
