City Engineer Jankowski pointed that Armstrong Boulevard will be signalized by June 1996, enticing the haul trucks to travel east on 153rd Avenue to Armstrong, however, for that reason, the permit specifically states that "no portions of paved city streets shall be used except for the portion of 153rd Avenue between the railroad tracks and T.H. #I0." Commissioner Hendriksen inquired about the haul road from the site. Mr. Peck outlined the specific route. Commissioner Deemer commented that there was about 3/4 mile of dirt road. Mr. Peck discussed the potential extension of Inverness out to Jarvis. He discussed the golf course owners concern to have the haul road run between where people are walking rather than where golf balls are being hit. Mr. Peck agreed to look at the possibility of going out Jarvis but didn't want to be limited to only that route since they would like to start hauling by next spring. Chairperson Bawden stated that the later this permit is issued, the later it will expire. Mr. Peck expressed concem that these streets aren't built for this kind of tonnage, noting his biggest concern is that Elk River might put a stop to this project if Jarvis is utilized. Commissioner Deemer replied that the City of Ramsey pays for half of the maintenance of Jarvis. Mr. Peck stated he would like the City of Rarnsey to provide assurances that he won't end up having to rebuild Jarvis. Commissioner Deemer felt a reply from Elk River is needed to hear about their concerns of using Jarvis for a haul route. Motion by Commissioner Deemer to table this case until the City of Elk River has had a chance to discuss their concerns with the City of Ramsey. Motion dies for lack of a second. Commissioner Deemer pointed out that there were several places for the haul road to cross the golf course which might limit the amount of dust. Mr. Peck stated he felt that if the road is properly wetted there will not be a dust problem. Commissioner Deemer disagreed. Commissioner Hendriksen commented that if there is a problem with dust, North Fork will be the fa'st to hear about it and will attempt to alleviate the problem. The Planning Commission proceeded to review the Findings of Fact. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to accept #1 through #12 as presented. Motion by Commissioner Hendriksen and seconded by Commissioner LaDue to amend #13 to read "That the applicant has stated that all exported and imported material would be directed through the identified site to the existing haul road shown on the Phasing Plan; along the railroad tracks to t53rd Avenue and out to Highway #10. At such time as Inverness extends to Jarvis, a possible alternative route from Inverness to Jarvis to Highway #10 might be appropriate."
