MINUTES CITY COUNCIL May 9, 1990 Scalze felt that the Planning Commission should review the matter and make a recommendation. Frattalone requested that should the City decide not to permit this use, that he be given a timeframe for phasing out the operation. Frattalone estimated that it would take him a year to phase it out. Frattalone also stated that if the City's concern has to do with the watermain, he would be willing to post a bond for the watermain. Frattalone requested that he be allowed to continue the operation until the Council makes a final decision, pointing that he is under contract for disposal of bituminous materials. Scalze asked about the effect of the operation on Ryan Drive. The City Engineer reported that Ryan Drive was constructed on peat material and was never intended to be a high-use roadway. The Engineer felt the bubbling of Ryan Drive was caused as much by the traffic over the road as anything else. Fahey suggested that Frattalone be limited to hauling in only that material for which he is under contract until a final decision is made, and suggested that Frattalone provide the City with copies of his contracts. Fahey also suggested that Frattalone be required to post a bond for the watermain. Fahey felt that if the City decides not to permit this use, that Frattalone should be given a reasonable amount of time to relocate. Frattalone stated that relocation would take at least a year since he would have to find another site. Scalze asked the size of Frattalone's contracts. Frattalone replied that he was under contract for 30,000 to 35,000 cubic yards. Blesener stated that the Council is not looking at shutting down the operation tomorrow, but rather at the long-term solution. Frattalone stated that he would like to continue his recycling operation, and indicated that he thought the worst case would be that the City would limit the operation to only a few years. Page 10
