The Parks and Recreation Department has been storing ag-lime at the site. In the past there havebe~n problems with storing this material at the maintenance building site because, the material has gotten mixed with the gravel and salt used on the public streets. , . The Public Works Departm~nt salvaged approximately 500 tons of excess se~lcoat aggregate which is a clean pea size rock. This request includes the storage of that material at thissit~. In terms of impact Of this storage on adjacent properties, the piles are low and not clearly visible to adjacent properties. To the ~ast of this site is the railroad tracks, to th~ north and west is the ball field and property of the Community Resource C~nter.
