I I I I I I I ;I I I I I I I I I I Commission noted the following: 1. Regular City Council meeting minutes dated November 13, 1984. 2. Regular City Council meeting minutes dated November 27, 1984. OCM~ISS I~ BUSINESS Reouest To Mine For L~qndfill Cover Material: Case Of Waste Management Of Minnesota. Inc.: City Attorney Goodrich stated that according to City Code, a temporary conditional use permit does not require a recommendation or action by Planning and Zoning; Council did request that Planning and Zoning review the request made by Waste Management Of Minnesota for a mining permit in order to obtain this Commission's input, wisdom and whatever guides you can give them. Council is not necessarily looking for a recommendation on whether or not to approve the request but rather what conditions would be appropriate should the Council decide to approve the request. City Attorney Goodrich referred to City Engineer Raatikka's letter dated November 30, 1984 and stated that the Tri-Co property is within that area designated as Site P in the County's Landfill Inventory List. Whenever a site is designated as a potential landfill, under the Waste Management Act, there is a moratorium on that site and outlying adjacent properties. In this instance, it appears that the subject property would be a part of the fill area should Site P be selected. ~1~e County and Metro Council may have some concern that if the mining permit is granted and should Site P become a reality and the fill had been r~noved, there would no longer be adequate fill on the site. If Ramsey does grant this mining permit, it may be subject to County and Metro Council approval. Mr. Goodrich stated that he will also advise Council that they can proceed in this case with the understanding that this moratorit~n does exist and that the applicant will have to get a waiver or release to that moratorium if ~kining is to occur on the property. Mr. Goodrich stated that Waste Management's original application would have required an EAW; it is mandatory to require an EAW when the request involves 40 or more acres and a mean depth of 10'. Subsequently, the applicant has made revisions in order to fall within the mandatory requirement. Mr. Goodrich stated that the Planning [bmmission should look at beginning and ending times of activity, hours of operation, fencing, dust control, erosion control, where Waste Management will be hauling. Commissioner Zinmerman inquired if Waste Management still needs Metro Council permission even though an EAW is not required. Mr. Goodrich replied that they would. Be also stated that the Metro Council will not withhold permission because they don't feel it is right for Ramsey; they will withhold because they want to have a landfill at that location. Mr. Don Otter - Waste Management Of Minnesota, Inc. - Stated that Waste Management is aware that they need Metro Council approval of the mining. Mr. Page 3 of 10
