Attachment E 10F environment, plants, and wildlife were of vital importance to the community, while facilitating access for demolition 107 and/or construction activities. 10� Mr. Lloyd reviewed the access to the reservoir site itself versus Alta Vista Road and the park, noting the service 10� roads already on the site that would be utilized by contractors. 110 Mr. Lloyd noted an additional question from the caller he had previously mentioned and his question related to 111 National security considerations to make sure current and future water sources are secure from tampering and/or 11: attack. 11: Steve Schneider, General Manager, St. Paul Regional Water Services 11� Without providing specifics due to security issues, Mr. Schneider advised that the existing reservoir was secured 115 via alarms and other means, and the new one would have similar if not upgraded security functions. 11E Discussion among Commissioners, staff and Mr. Schneider included rationale for replacing the 1918 structure, 11; built to a higher capacity than now needed due to other facilities, and almost exclusive use by only the City of 11� Roseville at this time; construction of the current structure with materials of non-reinforced concrete, and 11� deterioration of that structure since its original construction, even though amazing in its structure and architectural 12c features in the interior of the tank. 12� Mr. Schneider offered to arrange for limited tours for interested city officials, but unfortunately not available for the 12� general public due to safety considerations, and the need to outfit visitors with harnessing equipment, etc. 123 Chair poherty closed the Public Hearing at 7:13 p.m., with no one else appearing for or against. 12� Discussion among Commissioners and staff included clarifying that design/build issues were not before the 12� Planning Commission, and since construction of the tower is a permitted use, there would be no further hearing 12E before the Planning Commission or City Council, with only administrative review and approval at the staff level for 12; those aspects of the project. Mr. Paschke again advised that only purpose for this hearing was for the Interim Use 128 application for the crushing operation that required Planning Commission and City Council action. 12� Further discussion included the advantages in minimizing impacts by crushing and reusing the materials on-site 13c rather than trucking them off site and creating additional truck traffic and noise. 13� Mr. Paschke advised that, in reference to crushing operation noises, he had personally visited a crushing site at I- 13: 694 and the former Ramsey County Public Works Garage on Rice Street in Roseville, to document the operation 13: on film with sound to better determine actual impacts. Mr. Paschke advised that there was minimal noise at 150' 134 and that it didn't sound much different than standing next to I-694, with that crushing site located just off Owasso 13� Boulevard. Mr. Paschke advised that there was construction-type noise all around the site, but as one moved 13E further away, it was not that obvious, and blended with other surrounding noises. Mr. Paschke advised that 13; residential properties adjacent to this site were not as close in proximity as homes were for that previous project. 138 Commissioners Gottfried and Gisselquist concurred that attempting to complete the crushing operation in the 139 spring was fortuitous and that crushing on site, as opposed to the noise and dust from trucks hauling off-site was 140 the lesser of two evils in getting the work completed. 141 MOTION 142 Member Boerigter moved, seconded by Member Wozniak to RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL 14: APPROVAL of an INTERIM USE for Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) to allow the temporary 14� recycling of concrete at the Dale Street Reservoir, 1901 Alta Vista Drive, based on the comments and 14� findings of Section 4— 6 and the conditions of Section 7 as detailed in the staff report dated February 03, ��' 2010; amended as follows: • Condition H: modify completion date from Apri130 to May 15, 2010. Commissioner Wozniak encouraged the applicant and City staff to take every available option to update the 149 community with the status of the project as it pertains to final design. 15c� Mr. Paschke duly noted this request. 151 Ayes: 5 15: Nays: 0 153 Motion carried.
