Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council June 27, 1990 Page 2 City of St. Paul (cont.) that this type of condition is required for any type of outside storage in their industrial zoning districts. It should also be noted that the I -2 uses are more isolated from other types of property use. Of the operations she is aware of, the closest residential area is about 1/4 mile away across railroad tracks. The only problem she noted was that neighboring property owners (industrial users) were complaining about fugitive dust. That problem has since been rectified by using a wetting process on the piles and the crushing operation and by also requiring the recycler to wash the streets down daily to prevent tracking from trucks. She noted no other problems with this operation. In a conversation with Mr. Mary Bunell of the planning department, he noted that text amendments covering all recycling . operations have been approved by the planning commission and sent to the council for review. He could not recall any specific conditions at this time that would affect a pavement recycling operation versus any other type of recycling. He is sending us a copy of those text amendments. They have not arrived as of the date of this memo. In conclusion, I think it is important to note some of the following points: * Differences exist between the situations reviewed (St. Paul and North St. Paul) and the Frattalone operation in Little Canada due to the zoning of the property and adjacent land uses. * The only major problem identified was the fugitive dust issue. This appears to be remedied by watering the piles and the crushing operation as well as daily flushing of the streets. * Aesthetics and other land use issues do not appear to be a major concerns with either City due to their location and the length of time they have been in existence.
