City of Roseville - Planning Commission Minutes for May 3, 2006Page 3 of 9 Chair Traynor discussed traffic as presented in report and within the narrative by the applicant. The City planner stated that traffic will mostly be internal, reducing vehicle movements along County Road C and Cleveland Avenue. Chair Traynor asked the City Planner to read the eight conditions of approval. Chair Traynor asked what alternatives exist if the IUP is not supported/approved. The City Planner indicated that the razed buildings would most likely not be recycled, but trucked off site to a construction material landfill, or the demoed material could be trucked to an off-site facility, crushed, and then trucked back--both alternatives add upwards of 13,000 truck movements to City and County Roads. Member Boerigter asked why the difference between the staff report and the applicant’s narrative. The City Planner indicated that staff concluded that crushing hours between 7 am and 8 pm were reasonable and not concerned about those weekday hours and there was no distinct difference-- those in the narrative have been offered by the applicant--should the Commission conclude a change is necessary, they can amend the condition accordingly. The applicant, Theresa Greenfield (Rottlund Homes/David Bernard Builders & Developers), introduced Jim Wutzke, Frattalone Companies (contractor for crushing/recycling operation) and Jason Kunze, Braun Intertec (pre-demo survey and environmental analysis) and provided additional details on the proposed recycling operation. Specifically indicating that recycling is a common practice in construction reuse of existing material and keeping most demo product out of landfills, also further reduces product mining. Greenfield stated that it would take nearly 13,000 vehicles to remove demoed material to another site and to provide the necessary fill. Greenfield explained that the contractor desires to crush/recycle in 1 cycle and that the estimated 60,000 tons of demoed material will take approximately 5 weeks. She also added that the hours of operation are not an issue, except that the contractors prefers a 10 hour day. Would like to keep operation/activity internal and not place trucks on County Road C or Cleveland Avenue. However, some trucks will be required to remove non-useable product. The Dorso site is ideal and preferred because it’s located in the last stage of redevelopment, requires limited environmental clean-up, and is suited well for stockpiling. Greenfield added that there were not many options available within the Phase I area due to either remediation or infrastructure construction (roads & utilities), specifically Twin Lakes Boulevard. She added that crushing/recycling does create dust and noise which they plan to control; Frattalone is permitted by the MPCA for air emissions regarding the type of activity, which is the main reason they were selected. She added she has read through the report and is comfortable with the stated conditions. Chair Traynor wanted to follow-up on traffic--if IUP were not supported what would be the number of trucks per day. Jim Wutzke, Frattalone Companies (contractor) indicates a minimum of 160 trucks. Jim further explained the MPCA regulates dust and they are required to maintain a 1.5% moisture content in the product. The pile is tested after demo material is crushed and Frattalone usually maintains a moisture content of between 6.5% and 7%. The demo pile is watered down prior to crushing; the crushing device also waters the material during crushing; and the recycled-material stockpile is watered as necessary. Wutzke added that when the site is set-up they are required to contact the MPCA. They also complete a perimeter air test to determine the quantity of particulates being produced--if within permitted standard they discontinue testing and implement a visual survey. They also complete a similar type of test for vibrations--typically no noticeable vibration past 150 feet. Member Doherty asked how tall the stockpile would be and Wutzke indicated between 25 and 30 feet in height. Member Roe asked additional questions regarding winter crushing and Wutzke provided answers. http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/council/planning/minutes/2006/pm0503.htm12/13/2006
