-. -- <br />Attachment C <br />� <br />C.U.P. NARRATIVE: PROPOSED BITUMINOUS ROADWAYS. INC. <br />FACILITY - ROSEVILLE <br />March 6, 2009 <br />About Bituminous Roadwavs. Inc. <br />Bituminous Roadways, Inc. is an asphalt paving contractor founded in 1946 in <br />South Minneapolis. The company is unique in that it is one of the few asphalt <br />paving contractors in the Twin Cities metropolitan area that produces its own <br />asphalt for their paving projects. The company is locally based, family owned <br />and currently employs 120 people at its three permanent asphalt plants located <br />in Minneapolis, Inver Grove Heights, and Shakopee. <br />Bituminous Roadways is a strong believer in giving back to the community. We <br />have consistently made in-kind and financial charitable contributions amounting <br />to at least 2'/z% of the company's net profit annually. We are a member of the -� <br />following chambers of commerce: Minneapolis Regional, River-Heights, <br />Minnesota.and U.S. <br />Proaosed Roseville Facilitv <br />On this site, Bituminous Roadways intends to construct a new permanent facility <br />for the production of asphalt and handling of various construction materials. <br />Overview <br />The market areas served by Bituminous Roadways are typically restricted <br />to a 15-mile radius. This is due to the cost prohibitive nature of <br />transporting asphalt much further than that. This site is centrally located <br />with good highway access. In addition, the site is located adjacent to the <br />Minnesota Commercial Railway, allowing for the possibility of economical <br />delivery of aggregates by rail from more remote locations. This is an <br />important feature, as recent studies indicate that aggregate sources within <br />the metropolitan area are rapidly being depleted. <br />The asphalt plant site will employ five people directly, and approximately <br />thirty additional construction personnel that will be working on paving <br />projects within the 15-mile radius described above. In addition, <br />approximately 15 non-company personnel will be employed indirectly due -, <br />Page 1 of 7 <br />
