Planning Board recommends allowing heat‑treated asphalt grindings for industrial paving at Stanford Drive and Grinnell Road with dust‑control and engineering条件

The City of Kankakee Planning Board on Sept. 16 recommended approval of a major variance to permit the use of heat‑treated asphalt grindings (reclaimed asphalt pavement, RAP) as a hardened surface for an overflow parking area at the northwest corner of Stanford Drive and Grinnell Road.
Applicant Matthew Nedlock (Norton Trucking) said the company operates a trucking business employing about 90 people and has used adjacent land for overflow trailers; he sought the variance to avoid the cost of full asphalt or concrete paving and described plans to compact and finish the surface with RAP.
Commissioners and staff pressed the applicant on health and construction practices. A commissioner warned that asphalt grindings can create carcinogenic dust if not handled properly and noted past local examples where grindings were not used with best practices; staff said the city will require site plans, grading and detention, and recommended using a contractor experienced with RAP. The board required that RAP be wet‑transferred, heat‑treated, sealed and inspected by the city engineer, and indicated a bond or similar guarantee may be held until work is signed off.
A motion to recommend approval with the stated conditions passed by roll call. The board also recommended a related subdivision‑ordinance variance to city council because the requirement appears in both zoning and subdivision regulations; both recommendations will be forwarded to City Council for final action.
The motion included explicit instructions that the asphalt grindings be heat‑treated, transferred with water spray to control dust, sealed after placement and subject to final inspection and engineer approval.
