Lunda /Ames Joint Venture
St. Croix River Crossing Superstructure Project
Oak Park Heights Conditional Use Permit
Lunda /Ames JV plans to utilize the Xcel Energy lay -down area currently occupied by Edward Kraemer &
Sons, Inc. for the St. Croix River Crossing Foundations. Lunda /Ames JV has been in contact with Kraemer
and Xcel working on an agreement to mobilize into the area once it is vacated by Kraemer. The area will
be occupied for the duration of the Superstructure project, beginning in January 2014 and continuing
through December 2016. Similar to Kraemer's use, the fenced in area will be for two field offices
(approximately 12' x 80'), employee parking, material storage and equipment storage. Conex boxes (8' x
20') will be used to store small tools, materials, and safety supplies. Portable toilets will be positioned
near the field office trailer and staked down. Roll off dumpsters will also be staged in this area to collect
and dispose of any waste. Fuel tanks for equipment will be placed on poly with perimeter control to
prevent /contain any spill if one should occur. There will be a designated wash out pit with perimeter
control for the concrete pump, which will be cleaned out as needed. Access roads will remain clear at all
times for Xcel and /or Emergency Services. The site lay out illustrated on the following pages is our
tentative plan and locations of particular items may change as the superintendent deems necessary.

The property Is zoned I, Industrial Distrid in which this type of staging and water access
operation would require a CUP and Interim Use Permit. The {property Is also In a River
Impact District which required the original CUP for the Allen S. King Plant and the
subsequent amendments that have allowed the plant to expand.

Cdrnprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Industrial
'land use. The proposed use of the property for a boat landing and construction staging
area is recognized as Industrial land use conslateN with the traps and policies of the
plan.
Zoning .ordinance. The site Is zoned I, Industrial District iri which power plants and
boat landings are a pemWed use. The amended CUP Is required to allow the
expanded use of the beat landing area and the property for construction staging In the
River Impact District. The operations of Edward Kraemer would be considered as an
Interim Use. As such, conditlons can be placed on the operation, including a limited
time period of operation for this loc aWn. it Is suggested that tha Intedm use be allowed
until November $0, 2014. Section 401.06, Administration — Interim Use Permits outlines
the allowances and criteria for uses that are to be located on a property for a kmlted
time period.
Atom*. The project neffativoe provides go following related to. scow for the
operstions:
"The Xcel dock wall wX be accem"d of of TH 95 using to same access road that the
waster baatmwt facillty uses, or 59"x' Sk wt f1lOM. we are pro using to widen oul
the road and extend Me raNuad crossing as shown on the map in the appendix. This
will fsoN jet+e the dellvay lot rnatedais Indluding mbar truce and 90 foot casing sections
for Me rhw plats. The current configuration makes It exhvms►ly difficult for a full size
tractor bailer to menu lthe caner. The trucks will then ova My Union Pacific
rafted tracks and follow the gravel road to the Xcei parking Trot The current conditions
of the road have been docurrtenled prior to any construction by a d* d party. Once our
contact for the river foundativns is eta the comer can be restored to Its 009W
cor>dRion unless the City or MnDOT directs us to have it as is for ft other oonbacts
assoduted wflh the ctonsbuctfon of the bdfdge."
Parking and Treflfic. The City Engineer shall review the access plan and make any
i immendations regarding access and traffic. A parking area plan shall be provided to
the City Engineer for review and approval.
Ughdng. The facility is not proposed to be Il. Any new lighting of the site will need to
be in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and subject to review and approval of City
staff.
Trees/Screening. The pictures taken last fall of the eite and attached indicate that Ov
area surrounding the site is heavily wooded. There are no other uses or properties that
are impacted by this request, so additional screening Is not required. The applicant
should position equipment to be stored on the property in such as way as It is less
visible from the river.
Grading and Drainage. Any grading and drainage issues shall be addressed subject
to review and approval of the City Engineer and the applicable watershed district.
Department of Natural Resources. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has
been notified of the request. Molly Shodeen, the Area Hydrologist, has Indicated that
the DNR has signed gaff on the requested projed,
Design Guidelines. There are no buildings proposed for the operations other than the
temporary office structure, In that the buldIng will be temporary, similar to the office
trailers approved for Xcel Enemy In the pest, compliance with Design Guldelinss Is not
required.
Conditional Use Permit — River Impact District The use of the boat landing as a
barge staging area is sul> d lo an amended CUP under the RNnsr Impact District. The
Planning Commission should consider this confarmlty, environmental issues and
Impacts of the proposed project In making its recommendation. The conditional use
permit. cftda, found In Section 4M.03.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance. are found as
follows:

Due to the location of the boat landlrq and the construction staging area In an industrial
area, and the fact that .b has been used as a landing for a number of years, City Staff
recognizes no Issue with the expanded use on a temporary basis. The Edward
Kraemer aperafjons will also be subject to an Interim Use in which specific conditions
will be placed on Its operation.
Interim Use.
Section 401.05.0 of the Interim Use Permit Section specifies a number of criteria for the
review and approval of a use. A review of these criteria are as follows:

Introduction
Edward Kraemer and Sons, Inc. (Kraemer) is pleased to present our Laydown /Staging
Plan. This is our tentative plan on how we anticipate the layout to be. The actual
location of items may vary throughout the project depending on the timing and the
functionality. The plan will also identify some BMP's that Kraemer will be using to help
minimize any impacts to the St. Croix River or the surrounding area. At this time we do
not anticipate any clearing and grubbing of areas to create a laydown /staging area.
Staging Areas
For this project Kraemer plans to utilize two separate areas for laydown and staging.
The areas are shown in the attached diagrams with a general idea of the layout. These
include:
1) Xcel Energy Access Point
2) Stillwater Municipal Barge Facility
The Xcel Energy Access Point is located south of the future bridge site. This area
consists of a few different parts. The first is the dock wall area which is detailed in the
Water Access Plan. In addition to those details Kraemer will have a crane in this area
to facilitate the loading and unloading of barges and trucks. The crane is inspected
daily and will be maintained in good working condition. A spill kit will also be stored in
this area in the event that it is needed. Depending on the amount of room available an
8' x 20' conex may be positioned here to store small tools at the end of shift rather than
leaving them on the barge where theft could easily take place.
The second part is the access road from the Xcel laydown area up to the dock wall.
This access road will be lined on each side with super duty silt fence from the current
gate location up to the dock wall. This will protect the wetlands on the north and south
side, Wetland Q forested and Wetland Xcel Pond respectively. If the access road
needs to have tree limbs trimmed to accommodate the movement of equipment a
qualified arborist will facilitate the process. Depending on the condition of the access

help improve the road. We plan on installing a tracking pad at the end of the access
road where the gate is currently located. Either mulch or crushed rock will be used.
The next part of this area is the Xcel laydown area which currently consists of a "parking
lot" and a fenced in yard. Kraemer has been in communication with Xcel and working
on an agreement to use part of their fenced in yard. Once the agreed upon area is set,
we install a temporary fence to help protect any material that Xcel currently has in their
yard. This fence will then be removed upon completion of the project.
This area will contain a field office (roughly 12' x 80') for the superintendent, engineers,
and safety personnel. There will be at least two 8' x 20' conex boxes used to store
extra BMP's and safety material. A porta jon will be positioned by the office trailer and
staked down. We will have a roll off dumpster here to collect any waste that is
produced. Kraemer will have a small fuel tank (400 -500 gallons) that is double lined
and will be placed on poly with a perimeter control. A signed and lined concrete
washout pit will be in this area only for the concrete pump to wash out at. This pit will
be monitored and cleaned out when the need arises. All of the concrete trucks will
wash out at their concrete facilities. The majority of the employees will park in this area
and we will meet with the local fire department to ensure they have enough room and
the proper radii to drive through the area. Other equipment and material may be stored
here and the Superintendent and Environmental Compliance Manager will ensure that it
is stored correctly. If extra rock material is staged at this location for maintenance of the
road a perimeter control will be provided via mobile filter logs.'
The Xcel dock wall will be accessed off of TH 95 using the same access road that the
wastewater treatment facility uses, or 591h Street North. We are proposing to widen out
the road and extend the railroad crossing as shown on the map in the appendix. This
will facilitate the delivery of materials including rebar trucks and 90' casing sections for
the river piers. The current configuration makes it extremely difficult for a full size
tractor trailer to maneuver the corner. The trucks will then cross the Union Pacific
railroad tracks and follow the gravel road to the south to the Xcel parking lot. The
current conditions of the road have been documented prior to any construction by a
third party. Once our contract for the river foundations is complete the corner can be

restored to its original condition unless the City or MnDOT directs us to leave it as is for
the other contracts associated with the construction of the bridge.
The second area that will be utilized for staging is the Stillwater Municipal Barge Facility.
It is located east of TH 95 and north of Sunnyside Marina. This is the same area that
Kraemer used last year when performing work on the Stillwater Lift Bridge. The area
will be accessed off of TH 95 and Kraemer is proposing to widen the north corner of the
gated road as it veers to the north towards the Barge Facility, see attached plan sheets
showing the limits. This work would include the relocation of the current gate and the
removal of about a dozen trees. The area would then be filled with a compacted road
base suitable for supporting the truck traffic that is anticipated. If the electrical box
cannot be moved it would be protected with a concrete barrier.
This area will be adjacent to a smaller dock wall that Kraemer will construct and be used
for miscellaneous material that will be needed for the project (reference Water Access
Plan for details /location of the dock wall). The area may contain a conex box for
storage of small tools and supplies. A porta -jon will be positioned here and staked
down. There is potential that a small roll off dumpster will be placed here as well. This
staging area will primarily contain formwork for the footings and columns and also may
be used as a place to off load rebar because of the congestion at the other dock wall
location. We will also use this area to set up the water treatment facility for turbid and
alkaline water. The facility will consist of two or three Rain for Rent tanks along with a
sand filter. These items are highlighted in the dewatering plan. Some of the drilled
shaft spoils will also be off loaded at this area. That process will involve the use of an
excavator. This work is planned to occur during the normal work day hours. The use of
BMP's, either silt fence, bio- rolls, or straw bales will be placed at the ends of the dock
wall and flared back to help filter any runoff into the St. Croix River. A spill kit will also
be positioned at this site along with storage of other BMP's. Depending on the condition
of the parking lot some class 5 or similar material will be added to help improve the road
conditions.

Conclusion
Kraemer plans to utilize the staging /laydown areas outlined in this plan. The specific
locations of items may be changed as we setup and as the project progresses through
different phases. The appropriate BMP's will be in place to help eliminate any
unwanted impact in the surrounding area and will be removed upon completion of the
contract or once stabilization has been achieved.
