(EXTENDED <br />HOURS) - CASE # CU 99-29 <br /> <br />Request <br />In an effort to keep up to current demands, CAMAS Minnesota, Inc. is requesting an <br />amendment to their existing conditional use permit to allow screening, washing and <br />crushing of gravel at their mine situated west of Highway 169 and east of 213th Ave. from <br />6:00 a.m. to 2:00a.m. Currently, CAMAS is allowed to wash gravel from 6:00 a.m. to <br />10:00 p.m. and may screen and crush gravel from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. CAMAS is also <br />requesting permission to repair equipment at their mine 24 hours per day. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />As a test, city staff allowed CAMAS to operate under the proposed hours for a total of <br />seven days during August of this year. The neighbors immediately surrounding the mine <br />were notified of these extended hours, but not what days on which they would take place. <br />The neighbors were encouraged to call either the city or CAMAS or both, if the extended <br />hours were an annoyance. None of these immediate neighbors called or came to the <br />public hearings to voice concerns. <br /> <br />At their September 20, 1999 meeting, the City Council approved CAMAS' extended <br />hours on a trial basis until the end of November, 1999. Again, neither staff nor CAMAS <br />received any complaints during this time. <br /> <br />Staff feels it is reasonable to allow CAMAS' request for extended hours. The following <br />language contained in CAMAS' proposed conditional use permit has adequate language <br />to address problems that could arise from these extended hours in the future: <br /> <br />(12) Hours of Operation <br /> <br />All mineral excavation, processing, and sales activities shall be <br />conducted between the normal hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., <br />Monday through Saturday with the following exceptions: <br /> <br />a. <br /> <br />Washing, screening, and crushing at the facility may take place <br />between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. and equipment repair <br />may take place 24 hours per day Monday through Saturday. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />s: \b&z\stever\camascup.doc <br />13065 Orono Parkway.
