1 FINDINGS OF FACT
2
3 1. The owner/applicant, RST Disposal, through it's agent,
Rupert Engineering, Inc., requests a conditional use
permit to allow shredding of wood waste. 4
5 2. The subject property is located at 655 and: 657 Second
Street N.W. The property is zoned M-2, and is currently
6 being utilized for a solid waste recycle and transfer
facility. The land in all directions of the vicinity is
7 zoned for heavy industrial uses.
g 3. The applicant obtained a conditional use permit to allow
for the development of a solid waste recycle and transfer
9 station which was approved 'in 1990. The previously
approved conditional use permit did not anticipate a
10 shredding operation. Accordingly, since the applicant.
. now wishes to utilize a chipper/shredder and a baler, an
11 additional conditional use permit is required.
12 4. A baler would be a machine which compacts and binds
recyclable materials so that they can be stacked in
~ bales. The baler would not be used with the shredder and
~ 13 • Would replace an existing compactor within the processing
~ 14 building. -The baler is an incidental function of the
~ existing approved use and is not a part of this
~ 15 conditional use permit.
C)
5. However, the proposed chipper/shredder is a new use. It
~ 16 is a portable machine which would be located on the
17 northwest portion of the site. The shredder is
approximately 12 feet wide and 40 feet long and would,be
ig transferred to the site in one piece by a semi-truck and
trailer.
19 6. The purpose of the chipper/shredder is to shred scrap
20 wood from construction sites together with pallets,
limbs, and branches. This type of wood is now being
21 received at the existing recycling plant either from the
public hauling the material to the site or from the 22 public leaving it in recycling bins which are
subsequently transported to the site by RST Disposal.
23 7. The applicant indicates that wood to be shredded would be
24 placed outside along side the machine. A grapple type
device will place the wood into the grinding tub which is
` 25 approximately 12 feet in diameter. After shredding, the
26
Ordinance Na 4641
October 12,1993
Page 2
. • ' • . ~
1 shredded material will be placed into a trailer via a
2 conveyor be1t., When the trailer is full, it wi11 trucked
off-site. Since the shredder is proposed to be. located
3 outside of the building, particular coneern needs to be.
paid to the issues of noise, air pollution, storm
4 drainage, and storage of wood.
5 8. The Zoning Ordinance at Section 18.58.020, requires when
noise emanates, from premises it is to . be muffled so. as
6 not to become objectionable due to a number, of factors.
The noise is not permitted to exceed the n.oise standards
set forth in the Washington Administrative Code.
7
8 9. The City has regulations regarding visible emissions as
well as the applicable regional and State agencies and
9 accordingly the possibility of dust and sawdust being
emitted into.the air will be adequately addressed.
10 10. The amount `of wood waiting to be shredded should be
11 controlled in order to avoid potential fire danger, and also a hard surface should be required where the wood.
12 will be sitting in order to ensure proper storm'drainage
control.
~ 13
pp 11. The evidence establishes that as a result of the shredder
~ the nature of the existing operation at the recycling
q4 14 ' center will not change considerably. The company aceepts
~ 15 Wood now for recycling which is then trucked to other
~ locations to.be shredded. The: number of outgoing truck
~ 16 trips will be less since the wood can be shredded on-
site. The traf;fic study done initially estimated 344
~ 17 round trips per average week.day. Actual traffic counts
condueted dur.ing the week of August 23 indicate an
ig. average truck count of 154 round trips which is
substantially under the traffic projections estimated for
19 the project initially. The largest employee shift is 24
persons which would result in 48 - round trips for
20 employees. Even considering the round trips which the
: employees add, for a total for a total of 202, this is
21 substantially under the 344 round trips which were
initially projected.
22 12. If properly conditioned, the conditional use permit can 23 enhance the goals of the Comprehensive Plan which seek to,
, protect the public. health and safety by providing
24 efficient and cost effective water, sanitary sewer and
solid waste services to the community while encouraging
25 recycling. 26

CONCLII$IONB.OF LAW
5
6 1. The Zoning Ordinance sets forth a series of criteria
which must be established before a conditional use permit..
7 ean be granted. The first,of-these criteria,is that the.
8 use will not have a more adverse affeet on the health,
safety, or comfort of persons living or taorking in the
9 area than would any use generally permitted outright in
the district. The M-2, Heavy Industrial, zone is
intended for outside activities which are larger' in
10" nature. The sh'redder will not have an adverse impact on
11 adjoining properties if properly conditioned.. Some
witnesses expressed concern regarding the noise;to be,
12 generated by the shredder. However, as a result of the
~ emissions. standards set forth in the Washington
oD 13 Administrative Code the noise will have to be properly
~ controlled.
~ 14 2. The proposal is in accordance with the goaTs, policies,
~ and objectives of the Comprehensive `Plan which encourage
~ 15 efficient methods of waste reduction and promote
C) 16 recycling. _
~ 17 3. The proposal complies with all requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance.
18 4. The proposal can be constructed and maintained so as to
19 be harmonious. and appropriate in design, character, and
appearance with the existing or intended character of the
: 20 vicinity since the previous CUP required landscaping and
buffering which will help screen the use from adjacent
21 projects.
22 5. There is no evidence that the proposal will adversely
affect the public infrastructure.
23 _24 For each , of the above referenced reasons, the.
' 25 recommendation of the Hearing Examiner to the Auburn City
