Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 26, 2007 Page 14 Councilmelnber Roe spoke in support of the motion; opining that it was a reasonable interim use for the property; and further opining that contractors, along with the City Engineer, were cognizant of best management practices and procedures. Councilmember Roe observed that, if construction were occurring on this site, it would create more disruption to the site, residential neighborhood and park. Councilmember Ihlan requested that the City Council consider, for further policy discussion, renting out space in our community for such uses that had grave impacts to city parks and the entire community; and noted that she would speak up for the park in that neighborhood even if no one else would. Mayor Klausing observed that this was private property, not park property. Councilmember Roe observed, as staff had previously noted, that the area to be used on the Dorso site was located approximately 400' from Langton Lake Park and another additional 400' from Langton Lake; and with fencing and other protections to keep materials from blowing and conditions outlining contractor responsibilities and staff regula- tion of those conditions, there should be no problems encountered. Councilmember Roe corrected any misrepresentations and clarified that no one on the City Council was against the park or the neighbor- hood, but were seeking to be reasonable with this approach. Roll Call Ayes: Pust; Kough; Roe and Klausing. Nays: Ihlan. Motion carried. h. Adopt a Resolution Approving an Interim Use Permit for Ramsey County for Temporary Concrete/Asphalt Recycling Operation at 515 Larpenteur (PF 07-013) Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd provided a brief summary of the re- quest as outlined in the staff report dated March 26, 2007; noting that it was similar to past City Council approvals; and that crushing was estimated to last for 2-3 days with materials to be used in other base layers.
