Commercial Asphalt Page 3 <br /> 6/27/95 continued ... <br /> aggregate bin was not properly adjusted, causing the plant to run too <br /> • hot (another way Commercial Asphalt adjusts their operation for odors <br /> is to turn the temperature down). Commercial Asphalt's response to <br /> this complaint was to shut the plant down until the aggregate bin was <br /> adjusted appropriately. When the plant started up again the odor <br /> problem had dissipated. <br /> Having complaint calls go directly to Commercial Asphalt, appears to be a <br /> much more efficient and timely way of dealing with the odor issue. <br /> Commercial Asphalt Co. has gone as far as not to run their plant under <br /> certain weather conditions. Staff feels Commercial Asphalt has been <br /> cooperative in dealing with the odor issue. <br /> The question for the Planning Commission is whether or not Commercial <br /> Asphalt has been able to keep odors at an acceptable level and they should <br /> have their permit renewed, or odor levels are at an unreasonable level and <br /> their permit should be denied. <br /> Recommendation <br /> • Attached to this memo is a conditional use permit that, except for a few <br /> minor wording changes, is the same as the 1994 permit. The one exception is <br /> the permit that is attached to this memo is good for two years. The one <br /> issued in 1994 was only good for one year. <br /> Staff is recommending the Planning Commission gives the City Council a <br /> recommendation to approve this permit. Staff's recommendation however, is <br /> given without recent input from the public. We have re-notified the <br /> neighbors, including those who complained in 1995, of this renewal process. <br /> It is vital that the Planning Commission hear their testimony prior to <br /> deciding if the odor problem has been controlled to adequate levels. <br /> • <br /> 6-27co nr/bz/stever <br />
