He showed <br />the Commission a map of the 50.2 acres of the old Prestressed Concrete site <br />that Bladholm Brothers now occupies. Mr. Sauer explained the route the trucks <br />would take during the months the asphalt plant is in operation, approximately <br />April through October, nine hours per day, 20 days per month. If they haul the <br />estimated 200,000 tons of material, there will be 15 trucks per hour. The <br />maximum haul would be 225,000 tons, or 17 trucks per hour. They presently <br />occupy the H & S Asphalt site on Industry Avenue in Anoka. Their facilities <br />are regulated through the EPA and MPCA. <br /> <br />Mr. Ed Hamilton, 6615 Highway #10, was present and stated that he owns ten <br />acres on the highway and has concerns about the truck traffic. The City is in <br />the process of doing a Highway #10 Corridor Study and the City should not take <br />any action until the study is completed. There is too much truck traffic on <br />Highway #10 at the present time. He wishes to go on record as being opposed to <br />this request. <br /> <br />Commissioner Howell asked Mr. Sauer to explain the access to the parcel. <br /> <br />Mr. Sauer explained that they would like to use the old Prestressed Concrete <br />access; they have requested approval of this crossing from Burlington Northern. <br /> <br />The Commission discussed whether the property would be impacted by the proposed <br />airport zoning. <br /> <br />The Commission also noted comments from Small World Day Care and made that <br />letter a part of the public record. <br /> <br />P&Z Commission Public Hearing/September 1, 1987 <br /> Page I of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
