Mr. Terry Miller of Waste Management referred to a question raised at the public hearing <br />regarding emissions into the air from the shredding process that he could not answer at the <br />time. Mr. Miller stated he has been in contact with the manufacturer and because the <br />shredder operates at a slower than normal rpm, the dust emitting from the shredder is very <br />minimal. <br />Motion by Commissioner Terry and seconded by Commissioner LaDue to approve the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing minutes dated March 7, 1989 regarding <br />Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc.'s request for a conditional use permit to operate a <br />waste tire processing/manufacturing facility on industrially zoned property. <br /> <br />Motion carded.

Absent: <br />Commissioners Howell and Holm. <br /> <br />The Commission proceeded to review the proposed findings of fact. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairman Zimmerman and seconded by Commissioner Hendriksen to amend <br />Item #40 to read as follows: 'That historical records indicate that landfill induced traffic <br />within the City is adequately served by Highway 10 and Sunfish Lake Blvd.' <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Zimmerman, Commissioners Terry, LaDue, <br />Shumway and Hendriksen. Voting No: None.
