23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. That the Applicant has been issued a Hazardous Waste Generators License by Anoka County Environmental Services relating to the solvents that are used in the disassembly of engines and transmissions and the collection of oils. That MPCA rules or Anoka County regulations do not require any special permitting for the collection of non-hazardous metals or batteries as long as the batteries are stored in an acid resistant container. That the collection of the other non-hazardous metals and batteries qualifies as a solid waste management facility under Chapter 9.14 of the Ramsey City Code, for which conditional use permit terms are limited to 5 years. That the proposed use will substantially adversely impair the use, enjoyment or market value of any surrounding property. That the current operating conditions at the subject facility are not in compliance with the conditional use permit presently in effect. That the proposed use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of the area. That the proposed use may create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services. That the proposed use may involve uses, activities, processes, materials and equipment and conditions of operation that may be detrimental to persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of smoke, fumes and odor. That the proposed use may involve uses, activities, processes, materials and equipment and conditions of operation that may be detrimental to persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of glare, noise or traffic. That the proposed use will not be unduly dangerous or otherwise detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity or to the public welfare. That the proposed use will be consistent with the intent and purposes of Chapter 9.03.04 (Conditional Use Permits) of the Ramsey City Code. The City of Ramsey has established a position that when a site receives discarded materials and processes these materials into an end product with value on the site, then it is considered a manufacturing operation. When a site receives discarded materials and transfers those materials to another site for processing into a product with end value, that the site where it is received is considered to be a solid waste management facility. That two members of the City Council and three members of the Planning and Zoning Commission toured Danny's Aluminum Processing facility on August 31, 1992.
