AGENDA ITEM 3. 1
MEMORANDUM
TO:
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
STEPHEN ROHLF, BUILDING
AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
MAY 18, 1994~~
SUBJECT: NSP/UPA TRAFFIC ISSUES
FROM:
DATE:
1. TEMPORARY ROUTE CHANGE FOR RDF TRUCKS FROM NSP TO
UPA
UP A will be redoing UP A Drive and the front access to their campus
sometime this summer. The work will include digging up the tar on
UPA Drive and re-milling it. This road will be impassable for about a
14 working day period.
e
The normal route to transfer RDF from the NSP plant to UPA is:
Highway 10 to Main Street to UP A Drive. During construction staff
has okayed these trucks to use Highway 10 to Main Street to Gates
Avenue to Railroad Drive (north of the tracks past the Sewer
Treatment Plant).
UP A has indicated that they will notify the adjacent property owners
along this temporary detour. A maximum of three trucks per hour will
use this road.
2. FRIDAY EVENING TRUCK TRAFFIC FROM NSP
It is my understanding that the Council is concerned with truck traffic
to the NSP Plant on Friday evenings. On March 15, 1993, NSP
requested and was granted the additional hours of 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM
on Friday evenings during May 1st through October 1st to receive
waste. These additional hours on Friday evenings were again
eliminated when NSP renewed their conditional use permit in January
of 1994. Therefore, the current status is that NSP cannot receive
waste from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Fridays, May 1st through October
1st.

The other traffic issue staff is keeping an eye on involves the construction of
Highway 101. Currently, the only turn movement that is prohibited due to
this construction is a left hand turn to head west on Highway 10 if you are
northbound on 169. None of the truck traffic associated with NSP or UP A
use this turn movement. If future conflicts with truck traffic to these plants
occur due to the construction of Highway 101, staff will review them
thoroughly.
