MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, May 8,2017 7:00 o'clock p.m. 14. #17-3910 LAKE WEST DEVELOPMENT, LLC, 3245 WAYZTA BOULEVARD WEST, INTERIM USE PERMIT: TEMPORARY USE FOR CONSTRUCTION STAGING. — Continued access for the residential development is to be located. That access has been approved by Hennepin County as a temporary construction access for this recycling activity. The Watershed District has approved an erosion control permit for the construction staging activity. The Long Lake Fire Chief has indicated no concerns with use of the site for construction staging. The public works director has indicated the location is likely as good of a location that the contractor will find for construction staging. The site plan suggests that temporary lighting will be likely employed but that is not known for a fact. In order to minimize traffic flow issues, some work might occur at night and it would be appropriate that any temporary lighting be downcast or directed away from residential areas. The site plan indicates a proposed visual and noise screening berm along the west and south boundaries of the site. The applicant is working with the Pollution Control Agency to establish parameters and obtain permits for that permit, which will become an amenity for future residential development. The City will require a grading plan be approved for that and potentially will require a conditional use permit based on the volume of permanent fill material. The applicant has suggested that to make this use financially viable, the site might be used as a recycling yard for projects other than just the Wayzata Boulevard improvements. The Planning Commission looked at this use and recommended that it should be solely for activities related to the Wayzata Boulevard improvement project and should not be used to support other projects. The Planning Commission did not want the industrial use at this site to become a regional site and it should have a definite end date commiserate with the Wayzata Boulevard improvements, which will likely last three or four years. The Planning Commission has reviewed this application on two separate occasions and recommended unanimous approval based on the following conditions: End date of the use to be no later than completion of the Wayzata Boulevard improvements or three years, whichever is sooner. 2. Use of the site is intended solely for activities related to the Wayzata boulevard improvement project and may not be used to support other projects. Use of the site shall be subject to Orono Code standards with regard to noise, lighting, dust control, street maintenance, etc. The hours of operation are to be limited as follows: - Monday through Friday, normal construction hours, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. - Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon only and limited to low-volume in -out activity, no heavy hauling. - Sunday, no activity whatever. 4. Appropriate permits to be obtained from Hennepin County, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, MPCA, and any other agencies or governing authorities as may be required for activities on the site. The proposal must meet MPCA guidelines and provide dust control from construction and recycling activities. Page 11 of 34
