Mew — 6, 1977 7 55 Richard Schuh — Amended Mining Permit Mr. Schuh's attorney, Bruce Malkerson, presented the case to the Council. They had met with City Engineer, Kuusisto, to inspect the roads leading to the site. Mr. Malkerson felt that the $10,000bond and $10,000 letter of credit was sufficient to comply with anything asked of Mr. Schuh. Malkerson stated that there will be 9000 tone of blacktop hauled out, and 4500 tons of rock brought in on 152nd Street. The haul roads would be .aintained in compliance with recommendations of the City Engineer. The general contractor, Brainerd Blacktopping, would be responsible for dust control. LaValle stated that Fischer Contracting will be blacktopping Irish Avenue so there will be two parties using the same road. LaValle felt that an additional amount of letter of credit would be in order because of the blacktop road. The additional amount would cover additional liability. LaValle felt that an additional $15,000 would not be out of line. Kuusisto stated 152nd Street to County Road 57 was not in the best condition. There would have to be grading, excavation, and shaping prior to any hauling. Chloride would have to be added for dust control. Malkerson stated they do not have any Class 5 left. Would the Council agree to Class 3? Kuusisto stated that if the class 3 was not sufficient, Schuh would be asked to bring in Class 5 gravel. MOTION: LaValle made motion, seconded by Spitzer, that we amend the Mining Permit for Richard Schuh with the following changes: Item 4 — iaul roads shall be Irish Avenue South to County Road 8A and 152nd Street east to Jeffrey Avenue only. Item 7 — The contractor shall provide and maintain both a $10,000.00 bond and $25,000.00 irrevacable letter of credit for the maintenance and/or reconstruction of the haul roads, and to insure compliance of all conditions of the permit. Item 12 A speed limit of a maximum of 45 miles per hour be maintained by the contractor gravel trucks when operating on the haul roads on city streets, except a 30 mile per hour speed limit shall be maintained from 7:00 — 7:30 AM.
