Members Present: Barnes, Goiffon, LaValle, Miron Members Absent: Leroux: Others Present: Robert MUseus, City Administrator ATM:INSON AGREEMENT The first item of business was a discussion with Dean Atkinson regarding an agreement for his operation of a rock crusher in his gravel pit located in the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Irish Ave. and 147th St. Mr. Atkinson provided the Council with his response to a draft agreement prepared by the City Attorney consisting of nine items. Gen.erally, his concerns regarding the amount of material he is allowed to stockpile on the site in a given year and his ability to crush for recycling purposes bituminous and concrete materials. Councilmember LaValle expressed concerns about final contours for the mining site and there was considerable discussion regarding past operations on the site. Mr. Atkinson stated that he had "grandfathering rights" to continue recycling materials on the site on a limited basis. He also stated that he felt there were 30u0,000 to 40u0,000 cubic yards of material to be mined from the site. A resident owning property adjacent to the Atkinson gravel pit, Larry Hansen, 14355 Irish Ave. argued that Mr. Atkinson did not have grandfathering rigFit.s for the continued operation of the rock crusher on the site since Mr. Atkinson had not operated a rock crusher on site for over a year. He did indicate that the rock crusher was incidental to the mining of materials on the site, as well as some materials brought in to manufacture a saleable product combined with materials from the site, but felt that hauling materials solely for the purpose of crushing was not appropriate. Barnes made motion, seconded by LaValle to table further discussion of the agreement to the Council meeting of July 5. 1995. All aye, motion passed. The City Administrator then provided the Council an Update on the status of the Special Use Permit/Mining application of Fiver City Asphalt.
