MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 20,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Fretham stated if the City of Mound has a road project going on and they would like to bring in 20 loads <br /> of street materials,he is hearing that might be acceptable,but if a building is being torn down in <br /> downtown Long Lake,they would like to see that go somewhere else. <br /> Schoenzeit stated he could take the concrete foundation but not the rest. <br /> Fretham stated that would be helpful since oftentimes that it what is recycled. Fretham noted there are <br /> strict specifications that they use for the recycled materials and that the finished product has to be <br /> acceptable to their standards. <br /> Leskinen asked if MN/DOT ran a similar type operation for the new Highway 12 project. <br /> Gaffron indicated it was a staging area for materials and equipment but to his knowledge they did not <br /> have a recycling operation. Gaffron stated vehicles were parked there now and then and there was a <br /> construction office located there. Gaffron stated that site was handled by MN/DOT and the City had <br /> limited say in it. Gaffron indicated he does not recall any conditional use permits being requested. <br /> Lemke asked if there would be storage of trucks and equipment as well as the crushing equipment. <br /> Fretham indicated there would be. Fretham stated it is likely the crushing machine will be run less than <br /> 200 hours,which is basically two and a half weeks out of a year. Fretham stated the machine might run <br /> for a few days and then not for a while and that they will not be running a full-blown crushing operation <br /> all summer long. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:53 p.m. <br /> Allan Engleman, 315 Old Crystal Bay Road,stated it sounds like there will be a recycling operation on <br /> the site and that the City does not need someone hauling stuff from Brooklyn Park or Wayzata in there. <br /> Engleman questioned what will happen when they are done and the pile is still standing there. Engleman <br /> commented it looks to him to be a business and that the City does not need that here. Engleman stated he <br /> does not know if the borings showed any contaminated material from the bypass project. <br /> Gaffron stated the boring logs primarily identified materials within the landfill and they attempted to <br /> determine the boundary between the landfill and high land. Gaffron stated he has not seen borings from <br /> in town but that any contaminated material would need to be hauled to different sites. <br /> Thiesse stated he did see the soil borings from downtown out to Birch's and they were all good. <br /> Engleman commented it looks to him like there will be a business operation over there and that they will <br /> be taking in other cities' material from all over. <br /> Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 7:55 p.m. <br /> (The Planning Commission suspended discussion on this item in order to discuss Item No. 5) <br /> Landgraver moved, Schoenzeit seconded,to table Application No. 17-3910,Lakewest,LLC,3245 <br /> Wayzata Boulevard,Interim Use Permit,and to continue the public hearing to the April 17 <br /> Planning Commission meeting.
