I I I I I I CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST ALUMINUM RECYCLING, INC, By: Merland Otto CASE #5' ~ackground: Mr. Glen Rychner has applied for a conditional use permit to develop and operate an aluminum processing plant. The site location is Lot 2, Block 1 of Gateway North industrial Park Plat 1 on approximately 2.58 acres. The property is zoned B/W Business/Warehouse use. This request was brought before City Council at your March 26, 1991 regular meeting where, after some discussion, it was tabled to the April 23, 1991 meeting. Staff was directed to revise Planning and Zoning Commission's findings of fact (approved 3/21/91 ) to reflect that the proposal is incompatible with the intent of the B-W district and to detail other inconsistencies in the findings so to allow Council consideration and action, The operation plan states that the facility would receive and process aluminum and other non-hazardous metals (brass, copper, stainless steel and other non-hazardous metals). Aluminum and other non-hazardous metals would be processed on site with a melt operation separating aluminum and producing ingots. The aluminum processing operation would include the disassembly of vehicle engines and transmissions on-site which will require a hazardous waste generator license. Two melt furnaces are proposed to be operated which would be located within a separate structure proposed to be constructed. The melt operation is planned to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week while the metal receiving operation woutd operate between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The Applicant is requesting a permit to develop the site "for an aluminum processing pi~nt". The draft CUP limits acceptance of metals at the site to those which are used .as feedstock for the processing operation and those metals incidental to the processing operation. The Applicant states that "the principle metal received (approximately 90%) would be aluminum of which the majority (approximately 90% or more) would be processed by melting.
