ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS �� REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 2, 1999 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the Rosemount City Council was duly held on Tuesday,November 2, 1999, at 8:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 2875 145th Street West. Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Klassen, Cisewski, and Edwards present. Also present were City Attorney LeFevere, City Administrator Burt, Public Works Director Osmundson, Parks &Recreation Director Schultz, Police Chief Kalstabakken, and City Planner Pearson. Police Chief Kalstabakken led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. The agenda was amended by adding one item to the Consent Agenda — Item 6.r. Tort Liability Insurance Limits. Public Comment James Pence presented reasoning to request the Commissioner of Transportation to reconsider the weight limit and speed limits for Diamond Path extension south of County Road 42. Pence noted that homes near Diamond Path were built close to the right-of-way,which puts them very close to the new Diamond Path. Pence felt that the 45 M.P.H. speed limit was too fast because children were used to playing in the area. Pence reported that many gravel trucks that weigh 80,000 pounds are expected to run all night. All of these issues bring the value of the 100 homes in the area down, compromise the well being of the children and safety with the speed limit consideration. Pence explained that the city government would have to make this request to the Commissioner of Transportation. Mayor Busho noted that staff would look into this issue and Council will address it at a future meeting if warranted. Consent Agenda MOTION by Edwards to approve the Consent Agenda 6.a. through 6.

Safetv-Kleen (iJ.S.P.C.I.I Interim Use Permit Amendment City Planner Pearson presented the Interim Use Permit amendment for Safety-Kleen to allow the transfer of used oil from trucks to rail tank cars for shipping to an oil recycling company in Chicago. There is an existing rail spur located on their Rosemount site at 13425 Courthouse Boulevard. The spur would require minor improvements for safety,that being, installation of drip pans around the tracks and curb and gutter for potential spills. The anticipated volume of oil shipped from the site is 150,000 gallons of oil each month. This would result from deliveries of six to eight trucks a day, 2 ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 2, 1999 five days a week. Right now the average trucks per day is 55. A public hearing was held at the Planning Commission meeting on October 26, 1999. The Commission approved the amendment unanimously. Don Chapdelaine, a representative of Safety-Kleen,explained the oil recycling which is now handled at their Blaine and Eagan operations. Chapdelaine noted it would not permanently store oil in Rosemount, but transfer it there to rail and send it on to Chicago. Phil Gover, manager of the facility, noted that Safety-Kleen services over 100 companies recycling auto oil, solvents, paint thinner, naphtha, dry cleaning fluids, industrial waste; but no medical or nuclear waste. Councilmembers Klassen and Edwards made comments of concern to expand the land-use applications hoping that Rosemount would not become the dumping grounds for the metro area. Mayor Busho noted that the life of the facility was originally only 30 years, now with the addition of another cell for ash that was estimated to be 42 years. The landfill was to be turned back to city government for a park or other community use when it was filled. Busho questions whether that would occur if a transfer station for oil supported continued business. Also, concern was raised as to notice of spillage — how much constituted a significant spill? Council requested further interpretation of the land use and contract stipulations on spillage and storage on site. Pearson noted that a sixty-day extension would be required from Safety — Kleen to allow time to continue the request of the amendment. MOTION by Busho to table the Safety-Kleen(U.S.P.C.I.)Interun Use Permit Amendment. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Edwards, Klassen.Nays: None. Motion carried. Motion by Busho to direct staff to give written notice to Safety-Kleen to extend the deadline of the 60-day notice from Dec. 6, 1999, for an additional 60 days as more time is needed to study the proposal. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Busho, Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: None. Motion carried.
