` C. U.P Narrative: Proposed Bituminous Roadways Inc. Facility March 6, 2009 Roseville, MN " 1. Impact on Traffic Traffic generated will be consistent with surrounding industrial uses, with trucks bringing in raw materials and hauling off finished products. The primary season for use will be the 8 month period from April through November. The amount of trucks per day will vary based on area construction activity and subsequent product demand. A peak day will generate approximately 250 round trip truck visits. Of these, approximately 120 will be loads of asphalt headed out to construction sites, with the remainder being incoming aggregate, incoming rubble or out-going base. We estimate that 65 percent of the out-going traffic will be southbound with 35 percent northbound. The incoming aggregates will come mainly from the south. Averaged over the 8 month construction season, the facility will generate approximately 120 truck round trips per day. These trip numbers are based on trucking of all aggregate, and may be reduced through the use of rail aggregate delivery service. The outload operation has been designed to allow adequate off-street stacking of trucks. Up to 24 trucks could wait to "load ouY' off-street if needed. This occurrence would be unlikely due to careful scheduling and the economic realities of equipment and labor costs. A"tarping area" has � also been reserved to allow adequate space for drivers to inspect and tarp their loads prior to exiting the site. Adequate internal circulation exists within the proposed site plan for in- coming trucks to proceed into the site without interrupting the flow of off- site traffic. 2. Impact on Parks, Streets, Other Public Facilities No impacts to parks or other public facilities are foreseen. Area streets appear to have been designed adequately for the industrial use of the area. This use will be consistent with its industrial neighbors. In addition, the proposed drainage plan will eliminate most of the direct surface stormwater runoff to surrounding streets exhibited by the current site. Sanitary sewer and water use will be relatively minor. Sanitary sewer will serve on site restrooms and limited laboratory use. Municipal water will be used for domestic and laboratory uses with minor use of water in production. Municipal water will also be utilized for periodic on-site dust control as well as filling of water trucks for use on construction sites. �' Page 4 of 7
