Endpoint Solutions between 5 and 15 employees as part of a portable RMC plant operation team.Operational periods will include general daytime operating hours of approximately 6:00 AM until 8:00 PM during weekdays and intermittent operation during weekends as project demands arise.However,WDOT occasionally requires nighttime work to limit impacts to drivers and to improve worker and driver safety during certain times in the construction schedule.As such,this Conditional Use Permit application requests the ability to operate 24/7 when required to accommodate the State,County, or municipal construction schedule. If operations occur at night,outdoor lighting will be provided by portable lighting for the purpose of employee visibility and safety.To mitigate impacts to adjacent properties and roadways,the lights will be directed away from property lines and roadways and shielded if necessary so as not to create a public nuisance.Typical generator operated lights produce sound levels in the 55-65 decibels (dB) range.For comparison,a typical vacuum cleaner produces sound levels ranging from 60-85 dBs. Outdoor storage would consist of piles stored within the operative area identified on Figure 1. Cement materials would be stored in portable bins and handled internal to the mixing vessels so as to eliminate as much dust exposure as is reasonably possible.Activities conducted outdoors at the Site would include the staging,handling,and mixing of materials,loading of concrete trucks,and washout of trucks into designated areas in accordance with applicable stormwater requirements. Waste generated from washing activities would be recycled or removed from the Site for disposal as necessary.Refuse would be handled by an onsite dumpster that would be regularly emptied by a local waste management service. Vehicle traffic would approach the Site from Hwy-51 onto Haugen Road.Truck traffic routes to and from the Site would be directed to minimize traffic on local roads and avoid residential neighborhoods and roadways.The Site would have one bidirectional driveway installed in accordance with Town of Albion ordinances to prevent congestion and backups on the roadway. Refer to Figure 1 for the driveway location and traffic route. STANDARDS OF CONDITIONAL USE Per the Conditional Use Permit requirements,an explanation outlining how the proposed land use meets each of the following six(6) standards for Conditional Use is included in the following sections. 1. THE ESTABLISHMENT,MAINTENANCE OR OPERATION OF THE CONDITIONAL USE WILL NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO OR ENDANGER THE PUBLIC HEALTH,SAFETY,COMFORT OR GENERAL WELFARE. The proposed RMC batch plant will be operated to minimize impacts to the public as much as possible.All ingredients that will be handled,with the exception of cement,are screened prior to arriving onsite to reduce the potential for dust generation.Cement will be handled internally and transferred with specialized equipment designed to reduce dust emissions as much as possible. Truck traffic is consistent with traffic generated from neighboring parcels and will be directed away from nearby residential properties.
