Public Hearing Chairperson Nixt called the public hearing to order at 7:07 p.m. Presentation Community Development Intern Kielblock stated that the City has received a request for an interim use permit from David Ballard to setup and operate a temporary concrete batch plant on a portion of undeveloped land west of Armstrong Boulevard, adjacent to the west of Adolfson- Peterson site. During the last two years the property has been subject to a conditional use permit to grade and export soils. David Ballard is proposing to lease a portion of the subject property from Gerald Bauer to facilitate a concrete batch mixing business. The property is currently zoned Industrial and is included in an ordinance adopted by the City Council on June 26, 2001, placing it within the boundaries of a 24-month development moratorium. The ordinance states that interim use permits may be considered during the moratorium. City Code states that an interim use permit can be in effect for a maximum of 5 years. The applicant stated that the term of use would be for 24 months (2 years). The applicant is proposing to utilize the property at current grade set on bare ground. Staff recommends that class-5 be utilized over area of operation and on the driveway. Currently, there are no structures on the property. The applicant is proposing the placement of an 18' x 20' shed for secure storage. Other temporary structures include an aggregate bin, conveyor, and cement silo. The silo will not extend over 36-feet in height. There will be no fuel tanks on site. Water needed for operation will be initially provided by a %uffalo" water tank and then by a sand-point well sometime in the future. Fencing with a minimum height of 6-feet is recommended by staff to encompass the entire area of operation. The applicant has attained written permission from Adolfson-Peterson for use of the private drive leading from Armstrong Blvd. to the property.
