Background/Discussion Case No. CU 16-10 Midwest Asphalt Corp is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to continue extraction of sand and gravel from their Elk River facility located at 12168 221" Ave NW. Midwest Asphalt Corp has been operating under a CUP since 1981, with the most recent amendment approved in 2006. The extracted gravel is predominantly used in unpaved road maintenance, highway base projects, and the making of hot mix asphalt. The applicant is requesting to expand their gravel mining operation to include the ability to operate a portable hot mix asphalt plant and a portable aggregate wash plant. Their current operation includes an aggregate crusher and screen, and being able to add a hot mix asphalt and wash plant will provide the applicant additional opportunities to utilize the site for various construction projects.
