CASE REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO PROCESS DEMOLITON CONCRETE IN THE E-2 EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT; CASE OF SAUTER AND SONS, INC. By: Patrick Trudgeon, AICP Assistant Community Development Director Background: Section 9.14 (Solid Waste) of City Code requires a conditional use permit for storage, collection, transportation, treatment, utilization, processing, transfer, intermediate disposal and final disposal of solid waste. City Staff defines demolition concrete as solid waste. Tom Sauter of Sauter and Sons, Inc., is in the excavation and demolition business. Staff became aware that demolition concrete is being stockpiled on their site at 6651 141st Avenue N.W. Pursuant to Staff's request, Mr. Sauter applied for.a conditional use permit to stockpile demolition concrete on his property for purposes of crushing it into an aggregate to be used on other job sites. The following items are enclosed: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Site plan Site photos Proposed findings of fact Proposed resolution to deny request Notification: In accordance with State Statute, City Staff attempted to notify owners of property within 350 feet of the Subject Property of the request for permit and related public hearing. Observations: The Sauter property is zoned E-2 Employment and is approximately 11 acres in size. The parcels to the north, south and west are also zoned E-2 Employment. The property to the east is zoned E-1 Employment. The applicant is in the demolition business and is requesting a permit from the City to stockpile demolition concrete on site and crush it into aggregate for use on other job sites. The applicant has submitted an amendment to their 2000 site plan that identifies a 70' x 120' area to be used for stockpiling concrete rubble. They have stated that the stockpile height will be restricted to 10 feet. The plan is to hire a crusher to come on the site once a year to reduce the concrete rubble into aggregate for placement on job sites. It is anticipated that this could be accomplished in a 2- day period. On a drive-by inspection on August 29, 2003, it appeared that demolition asphalt is also being deposited on the stockpile. The site plan does not identify any screening being added to the site. The original site plan approved in January of 2001, included planting trees on the south, east and west property lines.
