ordinance in residential districts. Mr. DeVries went through the first part of his handout. <br /> �. Mr. Wickham addressed his comments. Even lawn mowers have power drives. The <br /> buffer from the wetland is greater than 150'. Most trees along Hurtig Road remain. <br /> Others need to be removed. The crusher and plants are portable. Where there are any <br /> tanks,the area is lined to hold 1 '/2 times the liquid. <br /> Mr. Devries went through the rest of his handout and at the end of his presentation, <br /> requested a denial of the Conditional Use Permit. <br /> Mr. Curtis stated that there is a potential for groundwater contamination. Spills are <br /> governed by Mining Safety and Health Assoc. (MSHA) and the MPCA. Anderson <br /> Brothers has never had a violation nor had a CUP revoked. <br /> Bill Erickson, West Twin Lake, asked about the monitoring wells and noise. Once there <br /> is contamination,then what? Mr. Curtis stated the wells will be placed in strategic <br /> locations and they have never had one show anything to react to. The crusher is 99 <br /> decibels and reduces as you move away. The generator is the sound heard. Truck <br /> shifting would increase road noise. Noise would not exceed state and local levels. <br /> Jonathan Yahn, West Twin Lake, stated Anderson Brothers is a good company and <br /> aggregate is needed. He then read several quotes from the Comp Plan regarding <br /> maintaining rural character. <br /> Kelly(?), 28403 Mayo Hills Road, mentioned the Comp Plan stating green, rural and <br /> safe. This CUP contradicts the Plan and the Planning Commission is urged to deny the <br /> CUP. <br /> Gary Peterson, 3712 Lincoln Street, Columbia Heights, stated that Anderson Brothers is a <br /> good company and has a pit west on Co. Rd. 168. They crushed 24 hours for an extended <br /> period of time. Noise is a factor. He requested denial of the CUP. <br /> When asked what the economic advantages were, Mr. Curtis stated that they sell the <br /> aggregate for roads, landscaping, municipalities and sewers. They are an employer. <br /> Employees purchase fuel and lunches locally. <br /> David Kennedy, 27142 Loon Point, stated lighting would be a problem They should <br /> expand at present location. <br /> Mr. Curtis explained that this is an interim land use. It would be restored to a residential <br /> or agricultural use. The lighting is in the hole, shining down. These could be changed. <br /> Jane Kimball, 27653 West Twin Lake Drive, stated this operation would be higher than <br /> her house. Again Mr. Curtis stated the lighting could be changed. <br /> Mr. Habein stated the processing equipment is 1,000 feet away, but the loader or <br /> whatever type of machinery used is within 500' of a residence.
