CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. (9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses. Neighboring property owners have expressed concerns regarding the potential for air, water and noise pollution associated with the construction staging and materials storage and recycling temporary uses. However, these concerns will be mitigated by use of state of the art grinding equipment with pollution controls, by the use of erosion management techniques subject to permit approval by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, and by virtue of the remote location of the operationsfrom adjacent properties. (10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses. The location of the proposed temporary use is such thatfew if any neighboring homes will be subject to undesirable views or views of the activity associated with the use. Therefore, no screening or buffering will be required. (11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means. The temporary useproposed is likely to generate a variety of localized impacts in terms of noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, and general unsightliness. These impacts are anticipated to be minimized and mitigated by the remote location of the proposed activity in relation to inhabited neighboring residentialproperties. (12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access. The only access to the temporary use will be from a single entrance to County Road 11Z Hennepin County has issued a permitfor that accessfor the temporary use. There are no local streets which would be impacted by traffic from the temporary use, and no local streets would experience parking impacts as a result of the use. Truck traffic associated with the temporary use is anticipated to be almost entirely on Wayzata Boulevard which is a Hennepin County arterial road. (13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact. Based on the location and on the existing natural, scenic and historic features present, the temporary nature of the use suggests that no permanent negative impacts are anticipated. Potential long-term environmental impacts relative to the proposed use are anticipated to be minimal if any. Short term effects such as noise, vibration, glare and odor are expected to be relatively minor and due Page 5 of 9
