Mr. Fountain stated that he is taking this opportunity to <br />bring before Council previous actions and comments recorded in Council <br />minutes pertinent to some of these proposal items. Fr~n the joint Council/ <br />Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing held June 25, 1984 - "Mr. <br />Otter stated that Waste Management took over this facility in the early <br />1970's. ~e planned end use of this site as a park were promises of the <br />past owners of the site. Problems associated with that type of end use <br />could be deterioration of final cover, infiltration and environmental <br />problens. Waste Management, as owners of the site, when documents are <br />signed, is proposing that the end use be open space. In those minutes, Mr. <br />Roger Berres, Director of Beal Estate for Waste Management states "Those <br />residents adjacent to this site in years to come will be beneficiaries of a <br />tremendous open space." Also in the June, 1984 minutes, "Park development <br />as an end use of the landfill site could not be considered because of final <br />cover deterioration problems. It's quite unbelievable that a ski, sledding <br />slope on a sidehill of the facility will not present similar erosion <br />problems now or in the future." Mr. Fountain stated that Ramsey has been <br />considering pursuing municipal development of the present airport for <br />approximately 3 years. Considerable testimony has been presented at public <br />City Council/March 24, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 4 of 22 <br /> <br /> <br />
