However, City <br />Staff believes that a moratorium on siting landfills in Ramsey should be <br />established to allow for a study to determine appropriate criteria and <br />regulations to be adopted for reviewing requests for landfills to be sited <br />in the City. SUch regulations would not prevent the siting of Site P, but <br />may be helpful in regulating the landf ill that could be placed there or <br />elsewhere in the City. <br /> <br />Cbservations: <br /> <br />At the time the City Council requested the Planning Commission to conduct a <br />public hearing on this, they also requested that the Commission make <br />recommendations relating to the proposed moratorium ordinance. <br /> <br />Recormnendation: <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Will be based on your discussion. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />Administrator ..x.. <br />Attorney .JL <br />Engineer <br />Community Developnent Director <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />Finance Officer <br />Public Works Superintendent <br />Other <br /> <br />JO~ <br />
