MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, May 8,2017 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />14. #17-3910 LAKE WEST DEVELOPMENT, LLC, 3245 WAYZTA BOULEVARD WEST, <br />INTERIM USE PERMIT: TEMPORARY USE FOR CONSTRUCTION STAGING. — Continued <br />Seals commented she would rather have it where it is presently located than next to someone's house or <br />an apple orchard. <br />Walsh stated the crushing activity is the bigger issue than the storage of construction materials. <br />Crosby noted a time limit can be placed on this specific activity. <br />Dankey asked if these activities would definitely occur at the site if approval was given. <br />Frethain indicated it is not. Fretham stated they still intend to go through with the residential <br />development that was recently approved at some point, but given the other residential development in <br />town, he felt it would be better to wait. As a result, other uses for the property in the meantime were <br />considered. <br />Walsh stated the crusher is a bigger issue given the dust and pollutants. <br />Printup asked where the activity would take place. <br />Fretham stated the activity would be located on the far west side of the site and the arrows depict the truck <br />route in and out of the site. <br />Printup asked if the soils in the landfill area will support the weight of the equipment. <br />Gaffron stated the Council can ask the developer to provide those studies if they deem them appropriate <br />but that he is not sure if anyone has looked at the carrying capacity of that area. <br />Crosby commented he would be more concerned about the soils once the residential project starts. <br />Fretham stated they have done over 100 soil boring holes as well as other different analyses that an <br />engineering firm is analyzing. In addition, they will be working with the Pollution Control Agency to <br />come up with a cleanup plan for the site. Fretham stated they do intend to come back at some point with <br />a redevelopment plan for the western portion as well. <br />Walsh asked if anyone from the public would like to comment on this application. <br />Allan Engleman asked when he applied for this permit. Engleman stated it looks to be February 2 1. <br />Gaffron indicated that is correct. <br />Engleman noted Eureka obtained the permit on February 13 but did not inform anybody, including Staff, <br />until he informed Staff about it on April 4. Engleman commented this was all under the table until <br />February. <br />Gaffron noted Fretharn has been speaking with Staff long before February 21 about this project. <br />Page 14 of 34 <br />
