In addition, MPCA requires an emissions test only once every five years rather than the CUP's requirement of one each year. The following information is enclosed for your information: a) b) d) e) f) g) h) i) Application and supplemented information of 9/7/90 and 9/19/90 letter. Site location map.

Observations: The applicant has since acquired Lots 2 and 3 immediately north of the existing parcel and has been storing buses on the property which are later dismantled and used as feedstock for his operation. The storage is currently not covered by the existing CUP and does not conform to City requirements for exterior storage. In 1989, there wer~ six police incident reports related to excessive smoke emissions or open burning. In December, staff met with Mr. Karst to discuss and try to remedy the problem. Since that time, five incident reports have been filed and one complaint was received (4/26, 4/28, 10/3 and 10/15). Copies of the incidents and correspondence are attached. The building's electrical wiring is not up to code and has been a source of concern for the state electrical inspector. The City building inspector has indicated that in a September 27 discussion with the state electrical inspector, that action is still pending. Mr. Karst is requesting that a new CUP be issued (or the existing modified) to allow for the operation of a second furnace and to modify the emissions testing requirements. .. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on October 2, 1990 and adopted findings of fact and recommended approval of a CUP for the expanded operation on October 16, 1990 on a 3/2 vote.
