Noise The applicant maintains noise impacts will not change. This is likely the case with the majority of the noise attributed to the dumping of rubble, which his regulated by the sound barrier (earthen berm and wall). The applicant’s narrative indicates the sound barrier will remain intact and no increases in audible noise to the residential neighborhood to the west should be felt. Staff cautions that noise attributed to rail car storage and traffic increases are not fully known. No formal recommendations related to noise are proposed by staff. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Zoning Code Amendment, Special Use Permit, and Site Plan based on the following conditions: 1) The expansion shall be consistent with the submitted Site Plan, except that the 100’ x 100’ salt storage shed is removed. 2) An annual inspection on or within 30 days of July 15th shall be required to ensure compliance with the Environmental Constraint Overlay Area conditions. 3) Allowed pile storage shall be based upon 30% of the area noted for pile storage on the Pile & Equipment Storage Map (attached to this memo). This equates to 30% of an 11 acre pile storage area, or 8 acres of pile storage allowance. 4) Rail cars shall not be stored on the 1000’ rail siding for more than 110 days per calendar year and materials stored within the cars shall be limited to black dirt, bituminous, concrete, and other processed aggregates associated within the aggregate crushing/recycling and associated materials storage and excavation (Belair Excavating) uses at 2200 Old Highway 8 NW. The applicant shall keep a log of days, including loading and unloading times, which shall be made available for review during the annual inspection. 5) The Ordinance does not include the [bracketed-shaded] language proposed by the applicant. 6) The approximate 130’ x 656’ segment of expansion property within the ECOA extending west from Old Highway 8 NW to the applicant’s proposed 8’ vegetated berm (at the east end of the “Belair Construction Equipment & Supply Storage” area) shall be preserved in its current condition to provide an adequate buffer between Old Highway 8 NW and the pile and equipment storage areas. 7) The berm located at the east boundary of the “Belair Construction Equipment & Supply Storage” area depicted on the Site Plan shall be at least 8’ in height and be vegetated (not constructed of rubble). 8) The applicant enters into an Encroachment Agreement concerning the storm sewer that runs across a portion of their property. Staff recommends denial of the following: 1) Inclusion of the Road Salt Storage and Transfer Facility use within the ECOA. 2) Regulating pile storage based on 30% of the total land area, resulting in 11 acres of pile storage.
