Case File: CU 11-13 Page 2 Tiller CUP City of Elk Rivet Location and Size 22460 Highway 169 Location Existing Land Use Land Use Plan Designation Current Zoning Property in Question Landfill Landfill Al (ME) (SWF) North Landfill Landfill Al (ME) (SWF) South Mineral Excavation Mining. Al (ME) East Highway 169/Agriculture Commercial Reserve CRT (ME) West Undeveloped/Residential Single-family Residential R1A Introduction In May, 1996, Straightline Excavation, Inc. and Barton Sand and Gravel Co., a Division of Tiller Corporation, were issued a Conditional Use Permit to mine the Elk River Landfill property. Tiller Corporation (Tiller) is the successor to these entities and is currently mining the Landfill property pursuant to the 1996 CUP. Mining of the Landfill property is conducted in connection with Elk River Landfill, Inc. (ERL) landfilling activities. As ERL needs to expand into a new cell, Tiller mines the cell removing the gravel so that liners can be installed and the cell filled with solid waste. Elk River Landfill, Inc. and Tiller Corporation filed separate applications to amend their existing CUP's to allow expansion of mining and landfilling activities within the 200-foot buffer zone on the southern boundary of the Landfill property. Tiller's request before the Planning Commission at this time is to amend Condition No. 3(20) of its 1996 CUP to allow removal of trees and mining within the buffer area that is within 200 feet of the Landfill's south property line. The Landfill has applied fox an amendment to their CUP to expand the landfill into the buffer area and south into Tiller's property. Their application is currently scheduled to be reviewed at the September 13, 2011 Planning Commission meeting. AEplicable Regulations A.
