I <br /> I <br />I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br />I <br />:1 <br />'1 <br />'1 <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> <br />Mr. Fountain inquired that if the landfill were to close i~ediately, would <br />Waste Management need all that soil for closure/post closure. <br /> <br />Mr. Otter replied that they probably would rK)t. ]~e stated that there are <br />daily cover activities going on that cons~e soil and Waste Management would <br />like to leave that property in a useable form without creating too deep of an <br />excavation on the existing 160 acres. Waste Management is requesting a minin9 <br />permit in order to leave the property in decent condition. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich inquired if the Tri-CO property will be acceptable for <br />development when the mining process is over with. <br /> <br />Mr. Otter replied that it will be. <br /> <br />Mr. Hermanson - When soil is mined, will it be in contour with the rest of the <br />land. <br /> <br />Mr. Otter replied that the mean across the property would be 9.1'. <br /> <br />Mr. Studer stated that fill on the property could be considered a resource and <br />maybe should be left alone for a greater future need. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer stated that there is a moratorium on the property because <br />it is included in the County's Landfill Inventory List; Metro Council is not <br />going to let someone else come in and mine the fill and haul it away but it <br />could be to Metro Council's benefit to let Waste Management mine the fill in <br />order to maintain an ecological situation on the current landfill. <br /> <br />Oommissioner Zin~nerman inquired as to what assurance the City has that the <br />fill will be used as oover only. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich replied that the use of the fill is not what the Commission is <br />supposed to be reviewing; Co~nission should be considering the conditions of <br />the mining permit. Commissioner Zin~,erman's question might better be answered <br />by Metro Council; if the Metro Council is serious about Site P they may want <br />to keep that fill right here in Ramsey. <br /> <br />Ore, missioner Hendriksen stated that the proposed time frame seems quite <br />lengthy to be considered a temporary conditional use permit. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich replied that regular conditional use permits are perpetual; <br />temporary conditional use permits are for uses that have a beginning and an <br />end. ~he only guideline you have is that there is an end to the mining <br />process in sight. Mr. 6bodrich stated that he has also discussed this issue <br />with Mr. LeFevere and based on his experience, he recommended going with a <br />temporary conditional use permit. ~he only difference beb~een a temporary and <br />regular oonditional permit is that a public hearing is not required for a <br />temporary permit; a mining request is unusual but not sufficient reason to put <br />the applicant through the extra hurdle of a public hearing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zi~merman stated that he does not feel the time frame proposed <br />should be considered temporary. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich stated that Council did not know the mining would be a 15 year <br /> <br />Page 5 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
