I I I i I i I I I I I I I I I I I I I CASE REQUI~$~ FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ESTABLISH A HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USE IN THE BUSINESS WAREHOUSE (BW) DISTRICT; r CASE OF BURY AND CARLSON, INC. By: zOnin~ Administrator Sylvia Frolik and City Engineer Steve Jankowski Background: Bury and Cl~!so~, Inc. has submitted a request for a conditional use permit to establish a heavy industrial uSe:~in ~e Business Warehouse (BW) District. The proposal is for a facility that would crush demol~oni~phalt and concrete into aggregate for resale to comraetors. The subject property is zonedB~ipea~!Warehouse (BW) and the 75% of the operation devoted to crushing demolition asphalt and ~.e~ng~te would be considered a heavy industrial use; therefore, the need for the conditio/~ ~ I~:~t. Approximately 25% of the operation would consist of retail sales of other miscella~ ~e~ lat!,~lseaping supplies. The proposed location of the facility is east of Gateway North Industrial P~ at ~e intersection of 143rd Avenue N.W. and Jaspar Street N.W. Although 9n he f~ce of it, the application would appear to be subject to our regulations for solid waste man~ ~'g, im~t facilities, it has been documented in previous cases that the City's position is that recyclabl ~ ~terials are waste unless the material i,s_ being processed with a resulting new end product of. W [ue{i~eing produced on the site. In Bury s case, the demolition materials are being processed inta, a ngw end product of value -- aggregate. [ The stoc.kpi~:heil~hts are proposed to be limited to 32 feet in height. The applicant is proposing that the tot~.~ iun6p_nt of stockpiled rubble and aggregate permitted on the site be established at 250,000 cu~i0 yaxOs. It is estimated that in the fa'st year of operation, there will be approximately 38 incoming.l~ad~ of demolition debris and 38 outgoing loads of aggregate on average per day; the retails sales;~o~ [~he contractor supply yard is estimated at 10 incoming loads and 15 outgoing loads per .das,~ Th~ applicant is anticipating that by the third year of operation and thereafter, there will be 58 iticbmiOg loads of debris and 58 outgoing loads of aggregate on average per day. The proposed facility in Ramsey will be the fourth such site for Bury and Carlson. The other facilities are~1 .~ai~egl in Maple Grove, Bumsville and Minnetonka. Eight members of City Staff, the Planning and ~ng Commission and City Council toured the facilities in Burnsville and Maple Grove. I eon acl[ ~{gl r,e. presentatives from each of these cities. The site in Burnsville required a conditional ~: e p~t because it involved stockpiled material. Burnsville is very pleased with Bury and ~ soff~; operating standards. The site in Maple Grove is a permitted use and they too report no pi ~l¢'.~.s with Bury and Carlson. The site in Minnetonka is considered lawful non- conforming d d~e to be phased out. Minnetonka staff reported that the minor problems that have arose are am uta!~. ~le to urban type development encroaching on the site. Obviously,:~* eoricerns with an operation of this type are dust and noise. The facility is subject to MPCA p~rt~ng!and as such, MPCA will monitor dust and noise levels. If you refer to the site plan, you w!ll nOtlthat a hydrant supplied by an on-site well, is proposed to be located near the crusher site for us~ in controlling dust.
