5.a. Request by SKB Environmental, Inc. for renewal of a Small Scale Mineral Extraction Permit for 2016. (16-
02-ME)
Community Development Director summarized the staff report for the Planning Commission.
Chair Miller inquired why the 8% grade is acceptable here but not on Dodd Road when there was discussion last year to
extend it. Lindquist stated that at this point they are not sure what would go here but most likely the developer would do
their own grading. Miller also noted that low maintenance vegetation would be preferable so the city doesn’t have to
maintain. Lindquist explained that this is private property and the owners would maintain the property. Miller inquired
about the backfill reports, last years weren’t acceptable. How does that compare this year. Lindquist stated that there has
been no haulback since the last report.
Commissioner Forester inquired about the timeline for reclamation and when SKB will be off the site. Lindquist stated
that the permit is through the end of 2016, the contract between SKB and property owner may have different terms.
Commissioner Kenninger inquired what would happen if the reclamation requirements are not met. Lindquist stated it
wouldn’t go to council until they are met.
Commissioner Henrie inquired if there are still plans to mine phases 3 and 4 or is this end of this project. Lindquist
stated that the permit is not transferable so a new application would be needed for any grading into those phases by
another operator. .
Ryan O’Gara with SKB Environmental was on hand to address the Commission. O’Gara stated that he has been
working with the city to understand what is needed for the grading plan, and should have the plan by the end of this

Senior Planner Klatt summarized the staff report for the Planning Commission.
Chair Miller inquired about the need for a landscaping escrow. Lindquist stated it is to ensure landscaping is completed
and maintained. Landscaping will be reviewed the first year and ensure nothing is dead, if plants are dead they will need
to be replaced and stay alive for a year in order to receive the full escrow back. Staff will release a portion of the escrow
after each site review.
Commissioner Forester inquired about the impervious area, if and when the addition were to happen, would they still
meet the ordinance requirement. Klatt stated they would still be under 50% coverage.
Commissioner VanderWiel confirmed that the Planning Commission is just looking at an approval for a site plan and
the item would not go to Council. Lindquist confirmed that is correct.
The public hearing was opened at 7:06 pm.
Richard Lavel, the architect was on hand to answer any questions.
Commissioner Henrie inquired how many employees would work at this office. Mr. Lavel stated there would be about
12 employees. This is a family business that already operates in Rosemount and wants to stay in Rosemount. Upon
expansion it is estimated that there could be up to 20 employees.
Commissioner VanderWiel inquired about the use of the building as it is zoned community commercial, and how the
manufacturing use complies with those standards. Mr. Lavel stated that there are three stations where the manufacturing
is done; the rest of the space is for milling and refining of the product. Staff indicated that the property functions more
like a medical office use or a service use.
