COUNCIL BUSINESS Case #1: Request Of F&R Enterprises For An Open Burning Permit: Mr. Goodrich stated that F&R Enterprises owns 97 acres which is generally north of Hwy. #10 N.W. and west of Puma Street, on which there is a Pine tree plantation. In April of 1988, Burlington Northern train operations resulted in a f'n-e which damaged trees. F&R is now requesting that the City of Ramsey grant them an open burning permit to dispose of the damaged trees. City Staff (Fire Chief Hoeke, Environmental Specialist Bacon, Community Development Director Banwart, City Administrator Harfley, City Anorney Goodrich) reviewed the request and also met with PCA and DNR. City Staff is of the opinion that burning the trees poses too great a risk to the surrounding area and that there are other reasonable alternatives to open burning at this particular site. City Staff has also met with Mr. Paul Haik, attorney for F&R, and Mr. Tom Sauter, contractor proposed to do the burn, and discussed in detail Ramsey's reasons for determining the subject property is not an appropriate site for a burn. Mr. Paul Haik, attorney representing F&R, was present and stated F&R purchased the subject property in a foreclosure and speculated developing it with residential lots. Caine and Associates was retained to prepare the preliminary plat. The day after the preliminary plat was submitted to the City Attorney and Anne Norris, Ramsey's former Community City Council/June 27, 1989 Page 5 of 15
