MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,January 23,2017 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 6. JAKE BARKLEY,430 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD,DETERMINATION OF USE <br /> (continued) <br /> Barnhart stated he would expect there be an office component to the building and that the better way to <br /> address these types of concerns is through design and not regulation. Barnhart stated the design of the <br /> manufacturing process is built into how that building operates. <br /> Printup asked if there are some platted areas for future roads behind JEM. <br /> Barnhart stated that road would be the responsibility of the person who develops the lot. <br /> Printup asked if there is anything that goes up to Wayzata Boulevard behind JEM. <br /> Barnhart indicated there is an east/west road there. <br /> Crosby asked if Mr.Barkley's current building is close to residential. <br /> Barkley indicated there is a residential neighborhood adjacent to them at the current site. <br /> Crosby asked what their noise situation is currently. <br /> Barkley indicated there is truck traffic during the day and that is about it. <br /> Crosby asked if there is any noise from the saw running. <br /> Barkley stated the neighborhood is to the north and a lot of the equipment is located on the south side of <br /> the building. Barkley stated you really cannot hear the noise from the saw when the doors are closed. <br /> Walsh asked whether he would be willing to limit deliveries of the stones from 9:00 at night until 6:00 in <br /> the morning to avoid deliveries during the night. <br /> Barkley stated there are specifics and details to that question that he cannot answer. Barkley indicated <br /> right now they do not open the doors during those hours but that if they have a truck coming across the <br /> country,the truck will park and wait there until the receiving hours are open. <br /> Walsh commented there will always be unexpected circumstances,but that he is talking from a general <br /> logistics standpoint. Walsh stated if there are five or ten homes that are valued at half a million dollars <br /> across the street that they cannot sell due to a perceived issue,that could be a problem and that he is <br /> trying to mitigate that. Walsh stated he is not worried about the noise during the day but that it is the <br /> middle of the night hours that could cause issues. <br /> Barkley stated another way to respond to that is that a lot of their product gets unloaded with mobile <br /> equipment and overhead cranes and it is not safe to do that in the dark. <br /> Walsh stated he would be comfortable if Mr.Barkley would say there would be no deliveries from 9 p.m. <br /> to 6 a.m. Walsh stated he is trying to mitigate the worst possible situations that could come up. <br /> Page 7 of 15 <br />
