/i Elk REQUEST FOR ACTION River To Item Number Ci Council 6.3. Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Communi Develo ment Aril 20, 2009 erem Barnhart, Plannin Mana er Item Description Reviewed by Request by Karl Bekius for Interim Use Permit for Yard Waste (Composting) Site Business, Case No. CU 09-09 -Public Reviewed by Hearing Action Requested Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Interim Use Permit as presented. If the ordinance amendment (Item 6.1) is not approved, staff would recommend denial of the Interim Use Permit as it would be inconsistent with the current City ordinance. Background/Discussion Karl Beckius proposes to operate "yard waste site" on property leased by Midwest Asphalt and owned by Richard Bury. Mr. Beckius is familiar with the regulations established by the proposed ordinance, and can abide by these regulations. The Interim Use Permit (IUP) restricts the composting activity to the northern portion of the mine. This location attempts to maximize the distance separation from residential-use properties. The storm water, dust and noise control infrastructures are in place as part of the mineral extraction operations; this IUP does not permit deviation from that. The composting business is proposed to be on the east side of the entrance drive. Much of the site will be screened with the existing buffers. No retail sales are permitted. No public comments were received for or against the request when the Planning Commission held their public hearing on Apri113, 2009. The Planning Commission added for clarity, that only wholesale distribution of the product may occur at this site. Also, they recommended a condition that the site be restored to its original condition at the end of the interim use, or when operations cease, whichever comes first.
