Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 10, 2011 Page 15 Community Development Director Trudgeon noted that the applicant was unable to attend tonight's meeting; confirming for Councilmembers that they were no- ticed of tonight's meeting. Councilmember Pust suggested that staff provide the applicant, in writing, the discussion and consequences of tonight's meeting. City Attorney Bartholdi advised that, subject to the 60-day review rule, the City Council should provide findings for the changes in fine and expiration for the IN- TERIM USE. Councilmember Willmus advised that those findings should be in accordance with those items mentioned by the Planning Commission and their recommendations. Councilmember McGehee questioned staff on the size of the remaining rubble pile. Community Development Director Trudgeon did not have a firm tonnage amount; however, he advised that upon staffs last review in June of 2010 the pile had been substantially larger, and estimated that approximately one-half of the rubble pile had been removed to-date. Councilmember Pust opined that the remaining pile remained very visible. Councilmember McGehee advised that she had received complaints regarding dust from the rubble pile; and questioned if the material was large component rubble, or if there was some dust, particularly during summer months with addi- tional wind. Councilmember McGehee questioned if the applicant could make an attempt to cover the pile to eliminate or reduce dust. Community Development Director Trudgeon noted that the material was Class 7 gravel, and probably had some dust; and advised that the applicant was motivated to get rid of the pile sooner than later. City Engineer Debra Bloom advised that the applicant could wet it down; with Councilmember McGehee seeking to amend the motion to require that the appli- cant wet the pile down. City Engineer Bloom clarified that the applicant was already under an existing erosion control condition on site; with the City requiring them to wet the pile down. Ms. Bloom advised that, if the City Council had additional concerns, they could include an additional condition in their motion; however, she noted that staff continued their weekly inspection of the site to ensure erosion control ordin- ance regulations were being met.
