Regular City Council Meeting Monday, Apri126, 2010 Page 17 Councilmember Roe spoke in support of extending the on-site crushing process; but encouraged the applicant to get the demolition over with as soon as possible, even with the extension. Councilmember Ihlan noted her inability to attend the meeting when the original Interim Use was requested, further noting that she would have opposed the re- quest, given the proximity to the residential neighborhood and park, an docu- mented impacts to health and quality of life from the dust; and would have sup- ported recycling off-site. Therefore, Councilmember Ihlan advised that she could not support the requested extension based on those concerns. Councilmember Johnson opined that trucking off-site would be much more dis- ruptive than extending on-site recycling for another month. Discussion included anticipated truck loads of materials (600-900 truck loads for transport off-site); mitigation steps available for the applicant on-site during the crushing process. Councilmember Pust noted references on Attachment E to the RCA coordination by the applicant with the City's Park and Recreation Department of an implemen- tation plan to restrict access to the project area and to keep the public informed on use of the park trails. Public Works Director Schwartz advised that City Engineer Bloom and Parks and Recreation Director Brokke had both attended the preconstruction conference held with the contractor during which time the schedule had been discussed; and that the contractor made a commitment to keep trails open most of the time and to sign them as applicable. Roe moved, Johnson seconded, extension of the dates of operation of the ap- proved INTERIM USE, as detailed in Condition "H" of Resolution No. 10787 adopted February 22, 2010; and as detailed in the RCA dated April 26, 2010; al- lowing the temporary recycling of concrete at the Dale Street Reservoir, 1901 Vista Drive to continue until June 12, 2010; based on the comments and findings of Sections 4-5; and subject to the condition that the applicant send a letter to the owners of property within 500 feet of the reservoir site to inform them of the project status and to instruct the property owners to call Saint Paul Regional Wa- ter Services (SPRWS) staff with questions and concerns.
