COUNTY OF ANOKA <br />Office ol the County Boar~ of Cornrnisstoners <br /> <br />COURT HOUSE ANOKA. MINNESOTA 55303 421-4760 <br /> <br />· March 6, 1987 <br /> <br />DAN ERHART - <br />(.ounty Board of <br /> <br />The Honorable Ca~y Reimann <br />Mayor, City of Ratnsey <br />18008 Waco $~ree~ N.W. <br />Anoka, MN 5~303 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Reimann: <br /> <br />Thank you for:. informing me about the public hearing to be held by the Gateway North <br />industrial Airl:~ort iZoning Board of the City of Rarnsey on March 11th. As Chairman <br />of. the ^noEai~ Copnty Board of Commissioners, I am requesting that the following <br />comments be ihcluded in the public record for the hearing. <br /> <br />Th6 proposed ~irp~ort Zoning Ordinance includes a provision that prohibits the location <br />of "waste dj .SlDOsa~l sites" and "sanitary landfills" within an area that includes Site <br />"P' in the Afioka~ County Landfill Inventory. It appears that this provision in the <br />proposed ordir~ance may be in conflict with the Waste /vtanagement Act of 1980, as <br />amended.. The C(~unty is required to prepare an environmental impact statement, <br />which is currently- in progress, on the three sites in its landfill inventory. One site <br />may be selected fOr development of a new landfill. <br /> <br />It should be POinted out that there are provisions in Minnesota State Statutes designed <br />to permit the.,~co~parative evaluation of sites in county landfill inventories. These <br />statutory prO~isio!qs dictate that "No count"y, city, or town land-use control shall <br />permit deveJolbmemt, which has not been ag:). proved by the (MetroDolitan) Council, nor <br />shall any county, :c,ty~ or town sanction or approve any subdivision, permit, license, <br />or other authe)riZartion which would allow development to occur which ha~ not been <br />approved by :t~e (Metropolitan) Council. The Council shall not approve actions which <br />would ~eomar~i~e t~e availability of a site for use as a solid ~'s~. ~t~'.r' ~pn~ <br />adaed) <br /> <br />I appreciate this opportunity to comment on the proposed Airport Zoning Ordinance. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> EXIIIBll <br />D~n Erhart <br />Chairman, Anoka ~' ~', <br /> Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />DE:pm <br />cc: Mr. Steve Keefe, Chairman <br /> MetroPoiitan Council <br /> <br /> <br />
