Approving a motion to continue application No. CD2026-008CUP by MGK, LLC, for a limestone aggregate quarry, to the November 16, 2026, City Council meeting, per the applicant's request. 

This item was initially continued from the July 20, 2026 Council Meeting, where the request was continued on the record. The Applicant subsequently requested a continuance of the application to the September 21, 2026 Council meeting to provide additional time to the Development Review Committee and Airport Administration to consider new information presented. At the September 21 Council meeting, with the concurrence of the Applicant, the Council moved to continue the request to the October 19, 2026  meeting to provide time for the Review Team and Applicant to address Council-raised questions. The Review Team and Applicant continue to work toward providing responses to Council, and both believe it would prove beneficial to allow additional time in resolving the Council's questions. The Applicant has submitted a Continuance Request Form, requesting a continuance of the subject item to the November 16, 2026 Council Meeting.   

The applicant proposes a limestone aggregate quarry on an 80-acre property at the north end of 22nd Ave SW, west of the Oak Summit Golf Course. MGK LLC owns the property; Olmsted Aggregate would operate the quarry. Phase 1 involves 21.47 acres of extraction on the southern portion of the site, with future phases potentially moving north. The application is limited to land within City limits and includes excavation, crushing, a weigh station, and vehicle staging. Site access may require an easement clarification at the end of 22nd Ave SW. Approximately half of the property lies in Airport Safety Zone A and half in Zone C of the Rochester International Airport Zoning area. Zone A is the most restrictive, limiting land uses that could concentrate people or create hazards to aircraft. Quarrying is not identified either as permitted or restricted land use in Airport Safety Zone A.

Emphasizing Fiscal Sustainability.
