Mr. Hanson stated that the Azurite Business Communication Association and himself continue to be in disagreement with the City of Ramsey regarding whether both Phase I and Phase II portions of this project requires a conditional use permit. In ordinance 9.14.02 Scope it states that: "In addition to the criteria outlined in Chapter 9.03.04 of the Ramsey City Code pertaining to conditional use permits, these are rules and standards that regulate the issuance of conditional use permits for storage, collection, transpiration, treatment, utilization, processing, transfer, intermediate disposal and final disposal of solid waste or processed waste product by any person and the issuing of conditional use permits for the construction and operation of solid waste facilities." He expressed that it is clear that the ordinance pertains to the transportation of solid waste and, therefore, to facilities for parking, maintenance and housing of the route trucks and semi-trailers. The City Engineer indicted during the May 23rd meeting that the City should swap Outlot A for the tiny portion of the site where Azurite curves onto the property and in Mr. Hanson's opinion this would not be even close to an equivalent exchange as required by City Code. Further, the City Engineer noted that Azurite and McKinley streets have not been formally platted, meaning that the site description is not complete and by City Code permits, site approvals can only be granted for full defined properties. Ramsey City Code 9.14.05 requires the exact legal property description and acreage of the site. Mr. Hanson also pointed out that Ace Solid Waste Management's purchase agreement is contingent on getting approval of Phase II development, therefore, it was improper to give Ace Phase I approval separately. And lastly, he stated that the Association has information from a source at Waste Management, Inc. that a letter of intent has been signed to purchase Ace Solid Waste and if this is so it would mean that Ace is no longer the applicant in the matter. Mayor Gamec replied that his concerns will be reviewed by the City Attomey. Mayor Gamec introduced the new City Engineer Brian Olson to the City Council. City Engineer Olson gave a brief history of his engineering background. Roger Hanson, Bake Star, questioned if Consent Agenda item #8 pertained to their property. City Engineer Jankowski replied no, explaining that it referred to the Maken property. APPROVE AGENDA City Attorney Goodrich requested that Case #15a: "Introduce Ordinance to Establish Maintenance Requirements for Individual Sewage Disposal Systems," and Case #15b: "Proposed Ordinance to Establish Density Standards in the R-1 Urban Residential District" be added to the agenda. City Administrator Norman requested that Mayor Council Input include Item #2: T.H. #47 detour signage, Item #3: Scheduling Park Commission Tour, and Item #4: Schedule work session after the Public Works Committee.
