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. He
stated that the applications for both permits had recently been received
from FCA and the watershed is close to approving a mining and restoration
plan for the site. The special Use Permit will be the subject of a
hearing before the planning commission on June 28, 1995, and the Council
may receive the SUP and Mining permit for consideration at their meeting
Of July 5, 1995.
The Council wns briefed by the city administrator as to his negotiations
with Grace Development Corp. and the Oakshore Park Homeowners Association
to settle remaining concerns regarding the proposed Woods of Bald Eagle
b@Y@I@pm@nt. He informed the Council that there was potential for
bringing an industrial firm to the community and that would be beneficial
to the city to include development of a site for the firm in conjunction
with the proposed residential development. A concept paper was provided
the Council explaining the staff's proposal for expanding Woods of Bald
Eagle Development into two phases. Phase one being the residential
development as proposed by Grace Development. Phase two, which is subject
to numerous contingencies, would be the construction of Falcon Ave, and
134th St. from Trunk Highway 61 as required infrastructure for industrial
development. Council initially discussed the phase one proposal with the
developer to include improvement of a drainage channel from the Wilson
Tool pond to the east side of the development: the location of mitigation
areas required for street construction as part of the project; the
acquisition of the Oakshore Parti:. Homeowners Association recreation area;
and oversizing the utilities to serve the residential development to the
south.

Falcon Ave. from 132nd St. to 134th St., using state aid street funds and
reimbursement to the developer of part of the cost of constructinq Falcof-1
Ave. from 1.32nd to 130th St. due to it's servicing a City water tower
site.
The Council indicated that city staff and the developer should continue
working on conditions of preliminary plat approval and provide them to the
