We will construct an 8' high berm, located along the North and East property lines of our site. <br />This berm will aide in limiting the noise associated with our operation, and will serve as a barrier <br />to limit visibility. <br />2. We will construct a 30' X 50' fabric covered building to enclose our sandblasting and cutting <br />operations. (similar to the structure at the City Maintenance site) This building will include a <br />dust collection system. The anticipated construction schedule would be 6 weeks to fmish this <br />project. We will continue to operate our power-washing finishing process (about 5% of our <br />business) outside. The power washing process is not a loud noise generating procedure. <br />3. We will propose the following hours of operation - <br />Inside Operations - 6 am - 6 pm - 7 days a week. <br />Outside Operations -lam - 6 pm -Monday thru Friday, Sam - 5 pm -Saturday, and 12pm - 5 <br />pm -Sunday. <br />As suggested by the City of Elk River Environmental Administrator, Rebecca Haug, we <br />contacted Matt Ledvina with Natural Resource Group regarding noise and dust testing. He <br />stated enclosing the sandblasting and cutting operations would prohibit the need to do this <br />testing. <br />If any additional detail is needed regarding this matter, please contact me. I believe the proposed <br />changes will effectively address the noise and dust concerns of our neighbors, and allow us to <br />operate our business adequately. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kirt O'Konek <br />~` ton+~wvrks <br />y;..~. ~.• AK.CNef~C7Si~Ay PREC+~SY.iKG <br />Kirt O'Konek <br />Preside <br />10/10/2007 <br />
