Mayor Gamec stated that any additional comments the citizens mi§h~ think of should be submitted in writing to City Hall. Leon Fisher - 15113 Nowthen Blvd. - When will the.existing dump be closed if the conditional use permit is turned down. Mayor Gamec - Afraid to say; it was supposed to have been closed in 1978 and things still kept happening. PCA has taken a lot of control away from local officials. Leon Fisher - I want to use this forum to tell the people of Minneapolis and St. Paul that don't want burnin§ or recycling facility in their area, that we don't want their garbage any more. Larry Phillips - 6640 153rd Lane NW - Who extended the landfill permits? Do we have a say in what happens in our City? Mayor Gamec - PCA and County are the regulatory agencies; City can have input but in the area of landfills we do not have a say in what happens in our City. We are shown the permit application but I personally feel that we have no say in the matter. The County has, lately, taken care of some of our needs and problems but everything in the past has been a bitter battle. The only reason a lot of things were taken care of in the past were because of the City putting pressure on Waste Management. Larry Phillips In the June 21st Star and Tribune, it states that Legislature has ordered Hennepin and other metropolitan counties to stop burying garbage in the landfills and to comply with this they started recycling and waste reduction programs. Why don't we start those types of programs in Ramsey? Mayor Garnet - County Commissioner Haas can address that issue. Roger Hermanson - 15115 Garnet Street - What type of buffer is going to be against the street of Garnet. I am not impressed with the appraisors statements and I feel my property will be worthless. Mr. Cook - On the west side of the Northern expansion, we have looked at blending into the existing contours and then pulling it back as we move North so that if the existing distance is 20' to 100' back, we would push it back to about 100' from the property line. We also loo~ed at taking the berm that is p~oposed to control noises and wrap it around the West side of the site. Roger Hermanson - Was it Waste Management's intent to extend North when they bought the land from Westphal approximately a year ago. Council/P & Z Public Hearing Page 18 of 23
