ADJUSTMENT Page 3 Subsequent discussions with Merlyn Otto seemed to bear this out. I changed my application to eliminate the items appearing to be the center of controversy, only to have the next Findings of Fact reflect that now redemption of "scrap metals" was a ':solid waste manage- ment facility". In reference to paragraph 2 of Bill Goodrich's memo, please also reference the City of Ramsey Ordinance 7.72.01, Recycling License Definitions: Mixed M-~cipal Solid Waste means garbage, refuse and other solid waste from residential, commercial, industrial and community activities which is generated and collected in aggregate, but does not include auto hulks or large auto parts, street sweepings, ash, construction debris, rainini waste, sludges, tree and ag-ri.cultural wastes, tires and other materials collected, processed and disposed of as separate waste streams. This indicates "material collected, processed and dis- posed of as separate waste streams" is something other than mixed municipal solid waste. Scrap metals have been handled as a separate entity for years. In summation, the discordance concerning Ordinance 90-05 and surrounding issues has been the catalyst to begin the review of this ordinance (reference letter from Sylvia Frolick). In my opinion; too little, too late! I was consistently-placed in a position of reacting to revised rewrites of the Findings- of Fact and CUP. Merlyn Otto stated that the CUP was not well-~defined or organized, putting the City in a position of reacting to a "fluid" application. I believe the CUP was well-- defined and organized until I began to attempt to rev- duce and change the scope of my operations to fit the never-ending '~fluid" criteria, resulting from 98-0.5 and then the R-1 abuttment issue. Verbal agreements between Mr. Otto and myself were often not reflected in the next re-write. His subjective profile became apparent when I was placed in the position of defending a gross fabrication during the Planning & Zoning meet- ing of 12-6-90. Reference this Finding of Fact: 14a. That the planning consultant, Merland Otto, in his opinion, has indicated that the City of Anoka has requested the Applicant to vacate their current premise~ based on discussion with ~oka staff.
