We had this neighborhood meeting to address <br />concerns that the Council expressed on your February 10th city council meeting. This <br />neighborhood meeting was very productive; issues and concerns were discussed <br />regarding the continuation of our operation. <br />To summarize our meeting, there were three major concerns from our neighbors: <br />1. Dust control during crushing operations. <br />2. Use of the west gate off Ryan Drive. <br />3. Duration of time granted for the license /permit. <br />Item 1. Frattalone currently uses (2) — 1 1/2" water hoses to spray the material as it is run <br />through the crusher. Frattalone can supply additional hoses and apply more water during <br />crushing operations. We are also working to add vegetation to the sides of the concrete <br />pile and leave that as a buffer. Any dust problems that the neighbors have will be <br />reported to Frattalone and we will work to correct them immediately. <br />Item 2. Frattalone only uses the west gate in "as needed" situations. We don't use the <br />west gate with loaded trucks. In some situations we need to exit through the west gate <br />empty. The trucks are then directed to go to Country Drive and not through the park. <br />The neighbors agreed Frattalone would use the gate on a limited basis. <br />Item 3. The consensus of the neighbors was that the Council grants Frattalone a <br />license /permit for a ten- (10) year period. After ten (10) years there would be another <br />assessment of the property and the operation and a decision would be made at that time <br />for continuation. The neighbors agreed that five- (5) years were too short, and that <br />twenty- (20) years were too long. This item was discussed at length. <br />COMMERCIAL • INDUSTRIAL • MUNIC'.
