Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, July 13, 2016 Page 10 “The hours of operation for crushing itself shall end no later than 8:00 p.m., with 447 other activities as per city code requirements allowed during the standard hours of 448 operation (e.g. machine maintenance).” 449 Member Bull stated the rules were in place for a reason; and opined there was the need 450 for a significant reason to deviate from them. Based on the permitted right as per city 451 code to operate within those hours, Member Bull opined he felt it best to retain those 452 hours of operation. 453 Member Murphy noted the closest house was 1,475’ from this site, and based on his prior 454 experience with crushing operations as noted, he anticipated no noise for those residents 455 from these crushing operations. 456 Mr. Paschke opined it would be unlikely those residents would hear the crushing 457 operation given the existing volume of traffic and other construction and activities 458 occurring in this area. While residents may associate noise with the crushing operations, 459 Mr. Paschke noted that may not actually be the reality of where the noise was coming 460 from. Mr. Paschke stated he anticipated the noise would be more than drowned out by 461 the noise from the Interstate, which consisted of much more noise than that of the 462 crushing operation itself, and any noise from the crushing would meld with that. However, 463 Mr. Paschke noted that perception was reality in some cases; and agreed with having a 464 condition to limit crushing hours if that seemed prudent to the Commission, and to show 465 good faith by the Commission and contractor in attempting to address potential 466 perceptions of businesses or residents in the area, or for those staying at area hotels. 467 Given the uptick in construction in this area, Mr. Paschke advised that there may be a 468 considerable amount of construction activity over the next few years. 469 Member Cunningham reiterated appreciation for the recycling on site and addressed 470 similar cases in her research, with neighbors filing an injunction in another state for a 471 project like this. While not saying there won’t be noise or how it may be perceived, 472 Member Cunningham asked, since it was agreeable with the contractor, that the reduced 473 hours of operation be approved to end at 8:00 p.m. By its very nature, Member 474 Cunningham noted the IU was moving away from rules in place, and since this particular 475 project was not an intended use, it should be required to technically abide by a specific 476 process and procedure; and impacting the project by adding these extra conditions. 477 Ayes: 6 478 Nays: 1 (Bull) 479 Motion carried 480 ORIGINAL MOTION AS AMENDED 481 Ayes: 7 482 Nays: 0 483 Motion carried 484 Chair Boguszewski noted that he and Member Bull had both attended the open house, 485 and agreed that citizen concerns mentioned at that time had been well addressed by the 486 contractor and property owner, and thanked them for their positive responses in doing so. 487 b. PROJECT FILE 0017, Amendment 17 488 Request by the City of Roseville to amend City Code Chapter 1004 (Residential 489 Districts) to allow revised regulations pertaining to building footprints and paved 490 surfaces on parcels in low-density residential (LDR) zoning districts. 491 Chair Boguszewski opened the public hearing for PROJECT FILE 0017 at approximately 492 8:07 p.m. and CONTINUED it to the August 2016 Planning Commission at the request of 493 staff to allow additional time to work through details of the amendment. 494 MOTION 495 Member Murphy moved, seconded by Member Cunningham to POSTPONE THIS 496 ITEM TO A DATE SPECIFIC (August 2016 Planning Commission meeting) at the 497
