PLANNING REPORT DATE: 5 November 1986 CASE NUMBER: 1713 APPLICANT: Reilly Tire Company LOCATION: West Side of Fairview Avenue, Southerly of County Road C (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: Amendment To Zoning Ordinance PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The Reilly Tire Company occupies a 3.5 acre site on the west side of Fairview Avenue, south of Pacific Mutual Door Company, a structure formally occupied by Thermo -King Refrigeration and Repair Services. They propose to expand the structure and add a tire recapping facility known as the Bandag process. The architcctural, planning, and engineering firm of BRW has prepared preliminary plans for the expansion of the plant and the renovation of the site. An accompanying brochure describes this proposal. 2. The Roseville Zoning Ordinance allows "tire recapping, but with no exterior storage of tires, and provided that proper dust control measures be installed and used" as a Special Use in the I-2 District. The Reilly Tire Company property is zoned I-1. 3. The reason that tire recapping is traditionally carried as a Special or Conditional Use in a general industrial district is that in the past such a process included considerable heat, noise, and dust. The new process for tire recapping, however, features chipping the access tire tread from the core, rather than the former grinding method. Thus, it appears that the process of recapping tires is considerably different today than it was two decades ago. 4. The Reilly Tire Company utilizes the Bandag process in its plant located in Savage, Minnesota. Therefore, Craig Waldron and Bruce Ryden went to inspect that facility so as to ascertain its potential environmental impact. Attached is a copy of a memo from Bruce Ryden to Craig - Waldron regarding the results of their inspection. 5. Attached, also, are five sheets of the explanation and data relating to the tire recapping and ventilating system to be utilized in the Roseville location. The proposal, here, is to amend the ordinance so as to provide tire recapping as a Special Use in the I-1 District. If that is accomplished, the applicants will then be in a position to apply for the Special Use Permit and the plant expansion and site redevelopment described in the brochure. The staff suggests that change in the ordinance may be appropriate due to the drastic change in the process. It should be born in mind that when and if the Special Use Permit is considered, that appropriate conditions regarding noise emissions may be attached.
