<br />Memo to Mayor and City Council/Case No. CU 03-10 <br />May 19, 2003 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />The City owns 120 acres north of 165th Avenue at the Jarvis Street alignment. This is owned <br />by the W astewater Treatment Enterprise Fund and is used for the land application of bio <br />solids (sludge) generated from the treatment process at the Wastewater Treatment Facility. <br />In previous years, bio solids stored at the Wastewater Treatment Plant have been stored over <br />winter and then trucked via tank and tractor to the site for land application. Due to the <br />speed of the City's equipment, transporting the bio solids to the site has become a larger <br />liability and safety concern. In the 2002, the decision was made to contract with a private <br />hauler for transport of the bio solids from the treatment plant at 249 Railroad Drive to the <br />land application site. <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />In order to eliminate the need to relocate the application equipment on a daily basis during <br />the land application season, the W astewater Treatment Plant manager would like to <br />construct a 25' x 50' cold storage building on the land application site. The building would <br />be located in the southeast comer of the site near the intersection of Jarvis Street and 165th <br />Avenue NW. The building would be constructed as a metal pole shed. The structure is <br />relatively simple; two sliding or overhead doors on either end to allow the equipment to be <br />driven through the building and a man door for staff purposes. The structure will have a <br />dass V floor. <br /> <br />The Heritage Preservation Commission reviewed the request at their April meeting and, as <br />the request includes excavation, have requested that any archeological items found on the <br />site would be reported to the City immediately. <br /> <br />The structure should comply with all building and fire codes where applicable. <br /> <br />Plannin& Commission Action <br /> <br />The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the request at its April 22, 2003 <br />meeting. No one spoke for or against the request. The Commission voted unanimously to <br />recommend approval of the request to the City Council. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\Case Files\2003\CU 03-10 City of ER WWfP\5-19 cc memo.doc <br />
