Board of Adjustment approves conditional‑use permit for central‑mix concrete plant at Buffalo Ridge
Summary
After recessing to sit as the board of adjustment, council members approved a conditional‑use permit for a new central‑mix concrete plant at Buffalo Ridge; staff described the plant enclosure as roughly 45 feet at peak and noted it enables central mixing for larger paving bids.
The City Council recessed and convened as the Board of Adjustment to consider a conditional‑use permit for a new central‑mix concrete plant at Buffalo Ridge. City staff described the existing batch‑mix operation versus the proposed central‑mix plant and said the proposed enclosure would reach about 45 feet at the top of the peak.
City engineer (S3) and other staff described operational differences: central mix plants blend concrete at the plant and can supply mixed loads to a variety of delivery vehicles, which project supporters said will allow local contractors to bid on larger paving projects, including airport and regional street work. Council member (S2) asked whether the maximum height would exceed local limits; staff said the maximum height in the cluster is 45 feet and that the proposed enclosure is within that limit.
The Board voted by roll call to approve the conditional‑use permit. The approval moves the project forward subject to any standard conditions imposed by staff or engineering review; Council reconvened after the board action and recorded the vote.
