<br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date <br />Plannin IEn ineerin 3 120 I 06 <br />Item Description <br />Re uest to Amend A re ate Industries CUP, Case CD 06-03 <br /> <br />Item Number <br />6.1 <br /> <br />Prepared by <br />Rebecca Hau , Environmental Admin <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />Aggregate Industries is requesting to expand their boundaries of their present mining permit. This would <br />enable the company to stockpile material on parcel 75-116-4200 and occasionally in the fall of 2006 and <br />2007 contract with a crushing operation to crush on this parcel. The site was included in the City of Elk <br />River's 1994 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on Mineral Excavation and the processes and <br />practices will stay consistent with those in the EIS. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />The issues with this application include: <br /> <br />Noise - During crushing operations, the crusher must be placed against the cut face toward Greenhead <br />Acres 3rd Addition to disseminate the sound of the crushing. <br /> <br />Water usage - Any water usage on-site shall not adversely affect adjacent residential wells. Mitigative <br />measures may include, but are not limited to, curtailing of pumping activities until water levels return <br /> <br />Hours of Operation - Currendy the Elk River Plant operates from 6:00 am to 2:00 am, with equipment <br />maintenance being conducted from 2:00 am to 6:00 am Monday through Saturday. If the city receives <br />complaints from the crushing operation, the hours of operation will be required to change to daytime <br />hours, 7 am to 10 pm. <br /> <br />Setbacks - Normal mining setbacks (50 feet from property line) are proposed. A 200 foot setback is <br />required along the west property line adjacent to the park. The Planning Commission recommended staff <br />to work with Aggregate Industries to increase the setback north of the fIngerling to 500 feet. Aggregate <br />Industries has agreed to this condition. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br /> <br />N/A <br /> <br />C\Documents and Settings\jrniller\Local Settings\T=porary Internet Files\OLK3E\REQUEST COUNCIL ACTION-aggregate. doc <br />
