-�. i 5.2 Section 1012.09B of the City Code states: The City Council may attach conditions to � Interim Use Permits. In reviewing Interim Use Permit applications, the City will establish � a specific date or event that will terminate the use on the property. The Council will also -� determine that the approval of the interim use would not result in adverse effects on the s public health, safety, and general welfare, and that it will not impose additional costs on �� the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future. 5.3 During the 2006 construction season, Ramsey County discovered buried concrete and s asphalt debris as they reconstructed the intersection of Snelling Avenue and County Road �? C. This debris was removed to the County property on Larpenteur Avenue, east of Kent 1 �� Street. � � 5.4 The temporary use would begin in late March or early April and last for approximately 3 i� days plus the time it takes to install and dismantle the crushing equipment. �� 5.5 This request is similar in nature to (although much smaller in scope than) the Shafer i-t Contracting IUP on the Meritex property at 2880 Walnut Street, which was approved by �� the City Council in February 2005. � r, 5.6 The City Council denied a 1998 request to allow a larger, longer, intermittent recycling i- operation; the minutes from the February 23, 1998 City Council meeting do not indicate i� why the Interim Use Permit was denied. Another similar request was withdrawn, in part, �� because of the controversy generated by proposals to have such a temporary use on the �u Kent Street property. � i 6.0 STAFF COMMENTS �? 6.1 General concerns with this type of temporary recycling operation relate to noise, �3 vibrations, and dust. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has requirements ,-� pertaining to such noise and vibrations which must be satisfied by crushing operations. =� 6.2 No environmental assessment or impact documentation is required for this activity. ��, 6.3 Ramsey County wants to do the crushing and mixing early in the spring while the �- windows of nearby homes are still closed. This would reduce the potential negative ,� impacts of noise and dust. ,�� 6.4 Noise level estimates for nearby locations were prepared for the 1998 request; the �u estimates were based on noise level readings from a recycling operation located in South 3 i Saint Paul. The estimates were prepared for locations at 479 Wagner Street, 512 �? Glenwood Avenue, 1771 Kent Street (the Ramsey County Women's Detention Center), �� and the intersection of Larpenteur Avenue and Mackubin Street. The following ?-� illustration shows the noise estimates (in red text) at these locations. PF07-013 RCA 032607 Page 2 of 4
