....... --, --.... Report #79-484" October 1, 1979 APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP-87, CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON PURPOSE To consider a request for a special use permit to use certain property owned by the City to store ag-lime and sealcoating aggregate. BAC KGROUN D APPLICANT: LOCATION: City of New Brighton Generally north of Old Highway #8 and southeast of the Community Resource Center. ZONING: R-l, Single Family Residential The request for a special use permit is to allow th~ storage of ag- lime and sea1coating aggregate at the old maintenance garage site owned by the City of New Brighton. The Parks and Recreation Department has been storing ag-lime at the site. In the past there have been problems with storing this material at the new maintenance building site because the material has gotten mixed with the gravel and salt used on the public streets. The Public Works Department salvaged approximately 500 tons of excess sealcoat aggregate which is a clean pea-sized rock. This request includes the storage of that material at this site. In terms of impact of this storage on adjacent properties, the piles are low and not clearly visible from adajcent properties. To the east of the site is the railroad tracks, to the north and west is the ball field and property of the Community Resource Center. The property has a number of mature trees which 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.
