By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Froiik and City Engineer Steve Jankowski Background: Bury and Ca~lsOq, Inc. has submitted a request for a conditional use permit to establish a heavy industrial u$.~, in -.thc Business Warehouse (BW) District. The proposal is for a facility that would crush dern~ita, on ~tsphalt and concrete into aggregate for resale to contractors. The subject property is zoned; B~sijnes~ Warehouse (BW) and the 75% of the operation devoted to crushing demolition asphalt and ~onC~te would be considered a heavy industrial use; therefore, the need for the conditionalluSe P~'mit. Approximately 25% of thc operation would consist of retail sales of other miscellaneoM lan~caping supplies. Thc proposed location of the facility is east of Gateway North Industrial ~ at ~e intersection of 143rd Avenue N.W. and Jaspar Street N.W. Although on ~h¢~,~ce of it, the application would appear to bc subject to our regulations for solid waste man~g~me,fit facilities, it has been documented in previous cases that thc City's position is that recyclable mfi, terials are waste unless the material is being processed with a resulting new end product of. ~v~ue ~eing produced on the site. In Bury's case, thc demolition materials are being processed into a n~w end product of value -- aggregate. The stoekptlo heights arc proposed to be limited to 32 feet in height. Thc applicant is proposing that the ~t~ ~am0unt of stockpiled rubble and aggregate permitted on the site be established at 250,00Ocu[:~ ya~:ts. It is estimated that in the first year of operation, there will be approximately 38 incomi~ ~ad~ of demolition debris and 38 outgoing loads of aggregate on average per day; the retails sal¢.~[ ~:omfthe contractor supply yard is estimated at 10 incoming loads and 15 outgoing loads per d~y ~ applicant is anticipating that by the third year of operation and thereafter, there will be 58 ifiC ming loads of debris and 58 outgoing loads of aggregate on average per day. The propo~.: fao~lity in Ramsey will be the fourth such site for Bury and Carlson. The other facilities ~ :~,.~ in Maple Grove, Bumsville and Minnetonka. Eight members of City Staff, the Planning a~,~Zo~g Commission and City Council toured the facilities in Burnsvillc and Maple Grove. I co0tact~l representatives from each of these cities. The site in Burnsville required a conditional!u~ze 1~. rmit because it involved stockpiled material. Burnsville is very pleased with Bury and ~son[s operating standards. The site in Maple Grove is a permitted use and they too report no l~o~ble .~as with Bury and Carlson. The site in Minnctonka is considered lawful non- conforminga~d dge to be phased out. Minnetonka staff reported that the minor problems that have arose are attributable to urban type development encroaching on the site. Obviously, the cojacerns with an operation of this type are dust and noise. The facility is subject to MPCA pe~nSand as such, MPCA will monitor dust and noise levels. If you refer to the site plan, you Will not that a hydrant supplied by an on-site well, is proposed to be located near the crusher site fbr us~ in controlling dust.
