Regular City Council Meeting Monday, July 25, 2016 Page 19 start before 8:00 a.m. and if this project started earlier, it would be of major con- cern for him as an area resident. Council Deliberation Provided the applicant didn't request and receive a waiver from city code, Mayor Roe advised that hours of operation applied with no crushing activity allowed other than during those specific hours. Etten moved, Willmus seconded, adoption of Resolution No._ (Attachment E) entitled, "A Resolution Approving an INTERIM USE for Crushing and Stockpil- ing of Aggregate Material on the PIK Terminal Property, 2690 Prior Avenue;" Et- ten; amended as follows: • Add Condition #7: "Prior to removal, concrete will be tested for asbestos As part of his second to the motion, Councilmember Willmus asked that the pro- posed Condition #7 be revised to include testing of the foundation poured prior to 1970, with concurrence by Councilmember Etten and language further finessed as follows: • "Prior to crushing operations, concrete will be tested for asbestos; [and the portion of the foundation poured prior to 1970 will also be tested prior to any crushing and/or removal;J and if any asbestos is found, work will be halted to create an appropriate change to the crushing and/or removal of stockpiled materials.
