Me. Iai Retardation, Developmental Achievement Centers Chemical Dependency Services City of Ramsey c/o Lloyd Schneil 15153 Nowthen Blvd. Ramsey, Mn. 55303 Dear Mr. Schnell: March 19, 1984 Reference is made 'to You~'i~u[ry' concerning the limitation on development in the buffer area inventory site P. Minnesota Statute 473.806 provides that no development may occur in the buffer area of an inventory site. The statute_ does, however, provide a mechanism to allow that type of development which the Metropolitan Council finds to be consistent with possible sanitary landfill operation on adja- cent lands. This mechanism is also set forth in MS 473.806 and is referred to as an abrogation of the development limitation. If a property owner whiches to develop a buffer property, he must submit a request to the Metro- politan Council for an abrogation of this development limitation. The Metropolitan Council will then solicit the comment of the county as to whether the county approves or disapproves of the proposed development. The type of development proposed must be a type of development that is permitted under the local official controls an~ which is compatible with sanitary landfill operation on adjacent property. The proposed use cannot be one which would tend to reduce the quality of the inventory site as compared to the other sites on the inventory. If the proposed development is that of a solid waste facility, plans and specifications must be also prepared and submitted to the county and the .ii~,::i Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for purposes of licensing and permitting. ='~ It is my recommendation that if such an operation is being proposed that the proponent should prepare a preliminary or conceptional plan which would show generally the nature of the facility to be provided including a narrative type of description outlining the operation of the facility. Such a prelimin- ary/conceptional plan would be most helpful in determining whether or not the proposed development would be compatible for purposes of abrogating the de- velopment limitation and would benefit the proponent in that it would permit the reviewing authorities to comment on the proposal before the preparation of costly final plans. If you have any questions concerning this matter, or if I might be of any service to you, please feel free to call me. Sinc~erely, , j ; , cc: Commissioner Baas Director, Environmental Services
