NCOOL0111CR <br />"MR DUNCRACIR <br />M MMOCL <br />WRITER'S DIRECT DIAL NUMBER <br />337 -1516 <br />Our law firm represents Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. <br />( "WMMI"), the present owner- operator of the Anoka regional <br />landfill located in the City of Ramsey, Anoka County. WMMI has <br />the following comments on the proposed ordinance identified <br />above. <br />As you know, the Anoka- landfill falls within the area <br />affected by the proposed Gateway North Industrial Airport Zoning <br />Ordinance ( "Zoning Ordinance "). As you are also aware, WMMI has <br />been pursuing a vertical expansion of the existing landfill site <br />since 1985. Permit applications for the expansion were filed <br />with the Metropolitan Council, the MPCA and Anoka County in <br />August 1985. WMMI has obtained a certificate of need for a <br />vertical expansion of the landfill from the Metropolitan Council <br />based upon an application dated April, 1986. The environmental <br />review process for the expansion is currently well under way with <br />the Metropolitan Council acting as the responsible governmental <br />unit in completing the E.I.S. The existing and continuing use of <br />the current landfill site, including the expansion, is an <br />existing non - conforming use. Accordingly, the language of the <br />proposed ordinance, and in particular Section VII thereof, should <br />be modified to remove any inconsistent limitation on the <br />definition of non - conforming use. <br />
