Home My WebLink About[04] Rothfork Asphalt PlantTOWNSHIP OF SAINT JOSEPH CITY OF ST. JOSEPH MEETING DATE: January 25, 2010 AGENDA ITEM: Rothfork Asphalt Plant SUBMITTED BY: Administration BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In December 2009 the Joint Planning Board met to review an administrative split for Rothfork. The purpose of the split was to allow for the sale of one of the gravel pits. At that time the Board adopted a resolution that indicated if the mining is expanded the Joint Board would again review the matter. The Stearns County Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on an Interim Use Permit that would allow the operation of an asphalt plant on the Rothfork site. In discussing the matter with Don Adams of Stearns County, an asphalt plant is an intensification of use. Included in this packet is the action of the Stearns Planning Board whereby they are recommending approval. The joint Planning Board does have to make a recommendation on this matter and that will be forwarded for when the Stearns County Commissioners consider the matter. It will be on their agenda for January 26, 2010.

JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION TOWNSHIP OF SAINT JOSEPH CITY OF ST. JOSEPH SUBJECT: Administrative Lot Split for Property within OA -524. MEETING DATE: December 21, 2009 COMMISSION MEMBERS: City Representatives Present: Township Representatives Present: REQUEST: Joint Planning Commission approval to submit an application to Stearns County Environmental Services for an Administrative Plat, creating three parcels. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the administrative lot split as requested, (see attached survey) based on the following findings. FACTS/REASONS: The Joint Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed lot split as it relates to the long range transportation of the City of St Joseph. In reviewing the long range plans the following items were considered: 1. The City/Township of St. Joseph, Stearns County and APO are in the process of completing a transportation study entitled the North east /west corridor study. This study has significant impact to the property owned by Rothfork/Melrose Properties. 2. The North east /west corridor study is only in the environmental stages and a preferred alternative has yet to be determined. Three different routes have been identified and they are in the process of environment review. 1. The future land use plan for the subject area is designated an area of change and identifies commercial, industrial and residential. The Joint Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed lot split as it relates to the existing land use and the Mining Registration issued by Stearns County. 1. It is the understanding of the Board that the property operates under a mining registration and the use is allowed to continue under the conditions of the existing permit. Additionally, a reclamation plan is part of the existing permit. 2. Based on the application, the property owner is not expanding the mining operation and should the mining be expanded, the City and Township should be consulted for a recommendation. COMMISSION ACnON: Motion: Second: In Favor: Opposed: Excused: This document is a true and accurate statement of findings and recommendations of the St. Joseph Joint City/Township Planning Commission.
