<br />Chair Klausing opened the hearing and requested Thomas Paschke to provide a verbal summary of the
<br />project report dated March 8, 2000. He explained the background and surrounding land uses,
<br />
<br />Thomas Paschke explained the crushing operations proposed and noted no significant impacts, Staff
<br />recommended approval based on the following findings:
<br />
<br />As a condition of the approval, the County must provide property dust control through
<br />screening and wetting the material, as well as erosion control.
<br />
<br />The requested permit is to allow concrete recycling for two phases of the Larpenteur
<br />Avenue reconstruction project Phase One is from Arona Street to Oxford Street in 2000,
<br />Phase Two is from Oxford Street to Dale Street in 2001. The request is to allow concrete
<br />recycling a maximum of 15 working days in each year. Crushing operations would be
<br />limited to 8:00 a.m, to 5:00 p,m, Monday to Friday,
<br />
<br />Member Olson asked for the history of crushing requests, Public Works Director, Karl Keel, explained
<br />history and use of crushing equipment at Dale and Highway 36, The savings for locating near
<br />Larpenteur is $300,000 to $500,000, Karl Keel noted that within 1000 feet more people were located
<br />along Dale/36 than Kent Street The schedule is to be 15 days per year for two years,
<br />
<br />Member Mulder asked for detail of road reconstruction,
<br />
<br />Member Olson asked what would happen to current stockpiles of concrete (use on Larpenteur Avenue),
<br />
<br />Member Egli asked if notice had been given to new duplexes along the south side of Larpenteur Avenue
<br />(yes), How did 15 days get established (by County Engineers), Would the County be able to predict
<br />when crushing will occur (mailed notice up to two days in advance).
<br />
<br />Member Olson asked if the next two phases would extend beyond two years, Karl Keel suggested
<br />limitations to two years, Member Olson asked if more concrete had been placed on this site this year
<br />(no verification).
<br />
<br />Member Wilke noted that the quality of material is high. Karl Keel noted it is good quality, but no batch
<br />mixing will occur on this site,
<br />
<br />Member Egli asked if other projects are near this site to use this site again, Karl Keel was unaware of
<br />other nearby roads, The County has not indicated this site would be used further.
<br />
<br />Elliot James, 497 Wagner, asked if Larpenteur Avenue redevelopment is only planned to Dale, but no
<br />with plans to construct from Dale to Rice,
<br />
<br />Elliot James suggested that the two-year plan is only the beginning; it will become an on-going use, Karl
<br />Keel suggested the Planning Commission will always have to balance the needs for road reconstruction,
<br />impacts and funding,
<br />
<br />Mr. James asked for details of the cost estimates, Karl Keel responded that no firm bids have been
<br />received to date, but savings would be at least $200,000.
<br />
<br />Gene Aulk, 516 Glenwood Avenue, provided history of Ramsey County use of site, as very sporadic,
<br />during emergencies. In 1999, the County Public Works began stockpiling and grinding material; then the
<br />County requested an NSP stump grinding operation, which was denied by the City Council. There were
<br />significant erosion issues on the site, The Kent Street Yard is used at night Mr, Aulk calls the Roseville
<br />police when this happens,
