These plans and reports anticipate a final elevation of 1100 MSL. The hst of identified plans and reports does not contain the Long-Term Developmen~ Plan, which proposed a potential ~nal eteva¢ion 1170 MSL. Thus, it is the City's position that the current License and CUP approve a final elevation of ll00 MSL and the proposed final elevation of llT0 now requires review and approval by the City through a License and CUP amendment process. City staff is very concerned that an increase in the final elevation of the landf~]] by 70 feet could, among other impacts: · Have a negative impact on normal land use development and on property values in the local area. · Be inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan which contains a final elevation of ll00 MSL for the area, as well as with the Environmental Impact Statemen~ on mineral exploration, which also contained a final elevation of ll00 MSL. · Limit the ability to screen the landfill from view through use of trees. · Impair the aesthetics of the view of the skyline from many locations in the City, in particular from nearby parks. · Exacerbate existing operational · problems related to blowing dust and litter. These are issues related to public health, safety and to welfare and consistency wi~h the City's Comprehensive Plan tha~ the CiW is entitled and obhgated to address as part of the amendment process. In your letter, you indicated a w~]]~ngness to discuss alternative development plans. It is my behef that it would be useful to have such discussions prior to presentation of this item to the Planning Commission, and I suggest that we meet very soon to determine if we can resolve these issues prior to development of a staff recommendation on the matter. If you would like to meet, please contact me at 441-4904 at your earhest convenience. Sincerely, Stephen Rohlf Building and Zoning Administrator
