City of Roseville - Planning Commission Agenda for February 2, 2005 Page 2 of 7 The batch and aggregate uses were deleted from the list of permitted industrial uses in 2003 (Section 1007) because the few remaining industrial areas in Roseville are close to office and/or residential areas. General concerns would center on noise and vibrations of the crushing, mixing, and hauling operation. However, Shafer has provided data that indicates negligible off site vibrations and noise levels under MPCA requirements. Road construction (specifically at the project site - County Road C) are exempt (by state law) from MnPCA requirements. No EAW or other environmental document is required for this activity. I n review of the proposal, staff has concluded that utilizing the Terminal Road/Long Lake Road route to and from the project site will create less of an impact and disruption (vehicle conflicts) to the business along Walnut Street. The number of trucks necessary to assist in the construction of County Road C would be reduced due to the proximity of the temporary recycling and concrete mixing site. This in turn reduces the amount of fuel used and consequently fewer emissions. Centralizing the recycling and mixing operation is an efficient and effective manner in which to reconstruct roads, which can reduce overall construction time. Mr. Paschke explained that the Community Development Staff recommends approval of the interim use permit for the reasons stated in Section 5 of the project report dated February 2, 2005, subject to the following conditions: a. The temporary recycling of former road base material shall be only from the County Road C and other affiliated streets. b. Shafer Contracting shall erect silt fencing around the periphery of the parcel as a "best management practice" to control potential stockpile erosion during in the event of a rain storm. c. Water and dust palliatives shall be used to control dust from trucks and gravel processing. City staff will also monitor dust on the site. d. Street sweeping shall be used as necessary or as required by the Public Works or Community Development Department (per the City Street Cleaning Policy - attached) to reduce dirt from affecting adjacent roadway surfaces. e. Truck hauling of material to be recycled and that to be replaced as base material, and the hauling of concrete for the new roadway surface shall utilize the Terminal Road to Long Lake Road to County Road C route. Empty trucks returning to the operation site and those trucks hauling materials necessary for the project, including aggregate, cement and water, shall be allowed to use Walnut Street, Cleveland Avenue, and Fairview Avenue. However, during the City's mill and overlay project, Walnut and/or other appropriate routes will be allowed. f. Hours of operation shall be limited from 7:00 .a.m. to 10:00 p.m. weekdays and 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on weekends. g. The Interim Use Permit shall be allowed for a period of one year of from April 2005 to August 2006, unless otherwise requested by Shafer Contracting three months prior (May 24, 2006) to this expiration date. Chair Mulder asked for details of how long re-bar will be retained on the site? He asked if there was concern regarding wear of Terminal Road. (Deb Bloom explained the reconstruction of Terminal Drive in 2006.) Member Bakeman asked if others had called. Terminal Drive is a ten ton road. Member Pust asked for hours of construction (7am to 9pm). Is there significant noise or dust? (studies show minimal impacts; there are MPCA standards). The City Engineering staff will monitor the site. Scott Spizak, Shatter Contracting, explained that the road construction contract is from April 2005 to August 2005, but they hope to complete the project earlier. This site (for recycling) is close, allows fewer trucks, recycling of materials. Shafer has done this same procedure on Highway 96 near Shoreview City Hall. In answer to re-bard recycling, it will be removed daily. Shafer also monitors dust and will have water trucks for dust control. The hours of operation will typically be 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily. West bound County Road C will be constructed first (Mayor June) with the east bound done in late 2005. The batching operation will only be used twice during the project. Member Doherty asked who will do street sweeping (Shafer or subcontractor). Chair Mulder asked if the contractor must keep the road clean (yes). Member Ipsen asked if concerns have been expressed by adjoining neighbors (none). There were no comments or questions from the public. Chair Mulder closed the hearing. Motion: Member Bakeman moved, second by Member Doherty, to recommend approval of the interim use permit for Meritex and Shafer Contracting to establish a temporary concrete recycling area on the 4.65 acre triangular parcel adjacent to Terrace Drive and the Minnesota Commercial rail line for a period from April 2005 to August 2006, based on the comments of Section 5 and the conditions of Section 6 of the project http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/councillplanning/minutes/2005/pm050202.htm 3/31/2005
