Kernen Construction CUP Modification for a +/- 14,310 sf Addition to an Existing Metal Building. Addition is to House a Metal Fabrication Operation. No Change

The project consists of a modification to an approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP-00-24) to allow for the development of a 14,310 sf metal building to house a new sheet metal manufacturing and retail sales use. This modification is not to allow an increase in the amount or timing of rock crushing. The following describes the existing approved use: A Rock Aggregate Processing and Materials Storage and Handling Yard Facility at an existing industrial site that was formerly utilized as the Blue Chip Mill; and an after the fact Special Permit to place soil fill material on specific areas of the materials storage and handling yard that were historically wetlands and to mitigate for these impacts. The project site was previously an industrial hardwood log chip manufacturing facility including lot storage areas (decking areas), buildings that housed log chipping equipment and handling machinery, an office building, a storage building, "Quonset hut" equipment maintenance structure and fuel storage facility. Proposed new uses will include: (1) storage of raw and process rock aggregate materials, soil and other materials like organize debris, asphalt shingles and scrap metal; (2) rock processing operations, which includes rock crushing, sorting and screening equipment, moveable conveyors, loading equipment and truck scales; (3) stockpiling for temporary storage of scrap metal, roof shingles and other non-toxic waste materials; (4) parking for trucks and heavy construction equipment utilized by Kernen Construction; (5) office facilities for the new use; and (6) placement and grading of soil fill over a portion of the yard area. The applicant proposes to operation the facility throughout the year, with peak activity during the summer months. Rock crushing and sorting activities would occur on average approximately 50 days per year. Hours of operation for the facility are propsed to be 7:00 am to 6:00 pm weekdays and 7:00 am to 5:00 pm Saturdays, with reduced hours during winter months.
