,4-.~ September 14, 1979 APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP-87 CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON P U RP 0 S E To consider a request for a special use pe~mit to use certain property owned by the City to store ag-lime and sealcoating aggregate. BACKGROUND APPLICANT: LOCATION: ZONING: City of New Brighton Generally north of Old Highway #8 and southeast of the Community Resource Center R-l, Single Family Residential The request for a special use permit to allow the storage of ag-lime and sealcoating aggregate at the old maintainance garage site owned by the City. The Parks and Recreation Department has been storingag-lime at the site. In the past there have been problems with storing this material at the maintenance building site because the material has gotten mixed with the grav~l and salt used on the public streets. The P~blic Works Department salvaged approximately 500 tons of excess sealcoat aggregate which is a clean pea size ro~k. This request includes the stofageof that material at this site. In terms of impact of this storage on adjac~nt properties, the piles are low and not cl~arly visible to, adjacent properties. To the east of thissfte is the railroad tracks, to the north and west is the ball field and property of the Community ResourteCenter. The property has a number of mature trees whi.ch provide screening for this stored material. In addition, it appears because of the grade change the piles of material will have very little impact on person's traveling on Old Highway #8. In regard to safety the piles are of a material that is firm and consists of small particles. Therefore it appears that there is very little potential for any safety hazards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board recommend approval of SP-87 by waiving the reading and ad6pting the attached resolution.
