2. Potential Planning Commission Action

Planning Commission Meeting · 2026-07-21 · agenda_item

A proposal is under review for a 39.5-acre aggregate mine, including crushing and screening operations. The project involves an estimated 2,000,000 cubic yards of extraction over an anticipated 10-year operating period. The site is currently zoned Agricultural General and is within an Aggregate Resource Protection overlay district. Mining is planned to move from east to west, using an existing mine access to CSAH 27 (200th St. N) via a private haul road across the Rodewald property, where Westlund Excavating currently operates. This item is currently under review by the Planning Commission, with potential actions including approval with conditions, denial, or continuation. If approved, the project could involve site preparation, excavation, material processing, and haul road construction. Detailed operational, access, safety, drainage, screening, and reclamation plans may be required. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, heavy equipment operation, concrete and masonry, and potentially environmental services could find opportunities. Suppliers of aggregate processing equipment and materials may also be involved. Engaging early before final permit conditions and site plans are set could provide a competitive advantage.
