I I I I I I I I i I I I I I I I I I ExGavation Permit To ~a~te Manage~_nt of Minnesota. Inc... Mayor Hell,an inquired if the Metro Council and County have lifted the development morator i~. City Attorney Goodrich replied that the moratori~ has not been lifted and no action ~cds to be taken by City Council at this time; Council can wait until Waste Management of Minnesota sukmits a request for grading and excavating after the moratori~ is lifted to address the issue. Councilmember Cox stated that he is interested in 9etting that moratoriu~ lifted; he would like to see some provision that Ramsay has taken action to lift that moratori~ to avoid expansion of Site P ar~ e~oouraged the proper closing of this landfill site as soon as possible. Mr. Don Otter was present and stated that Waste Management of Minnesota will be su~itting an application to the County very soon regarding the lifting of the moratoria. Mr. Goodrich stated that the City can provide input regarding the lifting of the moratori~ when the issue oomes before the Gounty Board. Counci~r Cox inquired as to why the Council can't take action this evening based on the Landfill Committee's rec~tion. Oouncilm~r COx stated that if it were a case of develolm~.nt wishing to occur in the moratori~ area that would provide additional tax base to the c~ty, would the City support that develo~ent's efforts or would the City have that develolz~_nt pursue the lifting of the moratoriu~ on it's ewn. Motion by Councilmmber COx to grant a grading and excavating permit to Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. based on the following: 1. To avoid playing any part in support/ng the expansion of Site P. 2. To have the moratoria ceased. 5 A grading and excavating permit was recently granted to Mr. Walton Sauter and Waste Management of Minnesota's request should be granted on the same basis. Further, that Metro COuncil ar~ Anoka COunty have enoouraged the selection of Site P by imposing the moratori~ and Ramsey's action should be to make every effort possible to see that certain areas of the landfill are properly covered to insure better future use of the area for ir~trial/c(mm~ercial develolmm, nt. Further, that this motion to grant the grading and excavating permit to Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. is not oontingent upon the Metro COuncil and Anoka County lifting the develoim~.nt moratorium. Councilm~mter Reimann seconded the motion for discussion. Further Discussion: Councilme~er Reimann inquired if there is anything wrong with Councilmmber Cox's motion. Mayor Heit~an stated that there is nothing wrong with the motion other than the fact that it is inappropriate until Metro May 28, 1985 Page 29 of 31
