• Solutions <br />Mr. Books has provided the city with material safety data sheets for both the <br />developer and fixer. Both of the materials can be safely sewered into the <br />city's Wastewater Treatment Plant, however, should not be disposed of in the <br />private septic system on site. Attached is a letter from the City <br />Environmental Consultant John Lichter addressing the issue. If this CUP is <br />approved, a disposal plan should be completed by the applicant to ensure <br />property disposal of material into the sanitary sewer system off -site. <br />One issue that has not been resolved is the disposal of the press wash and <br />spent rags. The city did not receive any information on this material. More <br />information has been requested from Mr. Books concerning the press wash. <br />Staff will update the Planning Commission on the press wash at the October <br />24, 1995, Planning Commission meeting. John Lichter, environmental <br />consultant, feels the business may require licensing as a hazardous waste <br />generator depending on the solvents used for the press wash and cleaning. <br />Recommendation <br />If the press wash is considered a hazardous material requiring the business <br />to be licensed as a hazardous waste generator, staff would recommend denial <br />of this conditional use permit. Section 900.25 "Home Occupations" of the Elk <br />River City Code, prohibits home occupations which involve the use of <br />hazardous materials or activities. If the business needs to be licensed as a <br />hazardous waste generator, staff is of the opinion that this type of use should <br />take place in an industrial or commercial area rather than a residential <br />zoned parcel. <br />If the press wash is not considered hazardous and proper disposal methods <br />are available, staff would recommend approval of the CUP with the <br />conditions listed in the September 26 memo to the Planning Commission. <br />Staff would also recommend an additional condition requiring the applicant <br />to design a waste disposal plan to ensure proper disposal of the solutions. <br />The disposal plan should be provided to staff prior to the City Council <br />meeting. <br />It should be made clear that eventhough the applicant may provide a waste <br />disposal plan enforcement of this condition will be difficult at best. Given the <br />environmental concerns with this condition the applicants compliance with <br />this condition cannot be overemphasized. <br />0 pc:cu95 -20x <br />
