MMaayyor Heitman stated that until Council has the opportunity to review all the <br />information, it just might be that PCA is doing Ramsey a favor. <br />0ouncilmember Cox stated that he is telling Council what the information is; <br />PCA is fining an individual who has not contaminated, but the potential is <br />there. <br />Motion ty Qouncilmenber Sorteberg and seconded by Wuncilmenber Cox directing <br />City Staff to request that the Anoka County Environmental Health Omnnittee <br />gather all information regarding this situation between Waltek and PCA and <br />report to the Ramsey City Council at their meeting scheduled for August 27, <br />1985. <br />Notion carried.

Voting No: None. <br />t• J <br />Mr. Goodrich stated that there is a piece of property at the intersection of <br />County Roads #116 and #56, just south of 7tm 'Ihumb, where presently a mining <br />and excavation project is going on. Ramsey has ordinances staging that such an <br />operation requires a conditional use permit, Mr. Norm Holm owns the property <br />and he does not have a permit for the operation. W. Norm Holm contends that <br />he is a non- conforming use because of previous similar operations on this <br />property. Mr. Goodrich stated that he has verified that similar operations <br />have been carried on at this property prior to 1973; Ramsey township had some <br />ordinances in effect relating to this type of activity but it has not been <br />determined whether or not they were properly published. A temporary <br />restraining order has been placed on the operation. Not withstanding all this, <br />Mr. Holm has agreed to apply for a conditional use permit. W. Goodrich <br />reviewed the proposed resolution with 0ouncil and suggested that Council <br />consider granting Mr. Holm a temporary conditional use permit, which does not <br />require a public hearing, contingent upon W. Holm entering into a development <br />agreement requiring that the hours of operation be limited, a grading and <br />restoration plan be provided, certain screening on the north be provided, dust <br />control be maintained (which, to Mr. Holm's credit, is already being done), and <br />an escrow be provided to insure that screening and restoration will be <br />accomplished. Mr. Goodrich stated that to this point, no citizens have called <br />to complain about the operation but he has noticed some gravel accumulation on <br />Cty. Rd. #56 which W. Holm has agreed to take care of. <br />Mr. Holm presented a sketch plan for Council review. Mr. Holm stated that he <br />had assumed the activity was grandfathered in on the property and he would be <br />willing to test it in Court; in the spirit of cooperation he is willing to <br />apply for a temporary conditional use permit. W. Holm stated that he doesn't <br />believe screening on the north is necessary as there is no need for the <br />operation to get any closer than 200' from the north property line. <br />Mr. Goodrich stated that the City required a $7500 bond and a $1000 cash <br />deposit to administer the permit in Mr. Bud Sauter's case. <br />Mr. Holm stated that he is willing to post a bond but does not see the <br />August 13, 1985 <br />Page 19 of 22 <br />
