Atlas will be burning infectious hospital waste <br />and that ash will be disposed of according to Minnesota guidelines. <br />Presently, hospital waste is being landfilled; in the next couple of years <br />all hospitals will have to test their ash for toxicity. Atlas has <br />extremely good burn down with no indications of any problems whatsoever. <br />The question of ash has only come about in the last two years.

Mr. Labat noted that the <br />phasing on the project is that the first building to be constructed will be <br />the manufacturing facility. However, prior to construction on that <br />facility, Atlas would like approval of a conditional use permit for the <br />research facility. <br /> <br />Chairman Greenberg inquired as to Atlas' timetable for action on the <br />applications. <br /> <br />Mr. Labat replied that time is of the essence and that he is hoping the <br />Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the conditional use <br />permit request in June and Council approval subsequent to that. The <br />request for tax increment financing is hoped to be considered by the <br />Planning and Economic Development Commissions concurrently. Mr. Labat noted <br />that Atlas is planning to conduct an informational meeting open to the <br />public prior to the public hearing. Atlas will be sending out information <br />on the proposed facility to all Ramsey households. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Consensus was to adjourn at 10:50 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Sylvia Frolik <br />Secretary <br /> <br />Anne Norris <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning/Economic Development Commissions/April 27, 1988 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
