BELAIR's RIDER B July 9, 1997 1. Current Conditions. This two acre site is currently vacant and unmanaged. It is in code violation regarding vegetation, random dumping, and abandoned vehicle disposal. The site is unbuildable because of the vast underground pipelines and overhead electrical highlines, which encompass virtually the entire two acres site; therefore, outside parking is an ultimate highest best use. The property to the north is the State Vehicle Emission Facility; the property to the west is Berger Transfer's secured trailer storage lot; the property to the south is a secured truck and new auto storage lot; and the property to the east is Cleanco's Truck Wash and Fuel Statio~. Our proposed use is compatible with all adjacent uses. 2. Clem1-Up. Belair Excavating is a business unit of Belair Builders. Belair Excavating and NSP jointly will conduct an environmental assessment and legally dispose of debris, drums, and dumped soil. 3. The Plan. We are attaching plan Rider C, 3 pages of 3, which shows the current condition and the proposed scope of work; it also includes a profile of each in section view. Drainage will flow west and north into an existing drainage ditch and then to the large pond area constructed during the 1985 Berger Transfer development. The quality, quantity, and velocity of water will improve because proposed conditions will be controlled by a more gradual slope; further, the surface will be debris-free. The north, east, south perimeter boundaries will be fenced and gated; the west boundary is naturally controlled by the existing drainage ditch. The fencing will consist of a 6 feet 9 ga. 2" galvanized link with screen slots and topped by three (3) strands of barbed wire. The surface will be a 15" section of MnDot specified Class VI rock base. This base is currently and successfully used at the Berger Facility. 4. The impact of the Proposal. This proposal generates no noise, no emissions, nor any waste. The traffic impact is minimal since an average of six (6) trailer moves per day are expected. Safety will be enhanced because Berger's security guards are on duty twenty-four hours a day; further, the area will be locked each night. We propose five year interim periods. The NSP/Berger lease is based on a five year lease renewable in five year increments. We simplify the system between all parties if renewal periods coincide. In summary, the existing site violations will be totally corrected and brought to compliance. Public well-being and safety are enhanced by the improved and controlled parking facility.
