WEU <br /> EKE <br /> DEVELOPMENT, LLC <br /> Conditional Use Permit Application Narrative <br /> 3245 Wayzata Boulevard West, Orono, MN 55356 <br /> PID: 3211823140002 <br /> February 21, 2017 <br /> Overview <br /> Construction and demolition materials are recognized as one of the largest components <br /> of the solid waste stream in the United States. Recycling this material not only makes <br /> sense economically, but keeping this material out of landfills makes sense <br /> environmentally, as it's a smarter use of resources, saves energy and provides a net <br /> decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. In the case of on-site, or near-site recycling <br /> operations, further savings are realized in efficient use of vehicles, fuel and manpower, <br /> reduced wear on adjacent roadways, and better containment of construction impact from <br /> surrounding areas. <br /> County State Aid Highway 112 Project is scheduled to begin the spring of 2017 and <br /> continue through 2019. The property owned by Lakewest LLC, located at 3245 Wayzata <br /> Boulevard West in Orono, offers an ideal near-site staging and recycling location for this <br /> project. It is isolated between Wayzata Boulevard (Old Highway 12 or Highway 112) <br /> and the new Highway 12 in an area with few neighbors. It provides easy access, ample <br /> acreage and minimal preparation to become ready for the contractor. Over the past <br /> several years Lakewest has successfully established and operated similar recycling sites <br /> in the cities of Golden Valley, Minnetonka and St. Louis Park. <br /> Lakewest LLC is seeking a Conditional Use Permit and an Ordinance Text Amendment <br /> to allow the establishment of a staging and concrete/bituminous recycling site at this <br /> location. <br /> We appreciate the City of Orono's help in completing and submitting these Applications <br /> and look forward to playing a part in this significant infrastructure improvement for the <br /> cities of Orono and Lon?
