C~ty ~ MEMORANDUM Item ~ 6.1. TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: DATE: Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator November 19, 2001 SUBJECT: Modification to Elk River Landfill's Conditional Use Permit and Solid Waste License to Authorize a New Demolition Disposal Area and an Encroachment into an Existing Buffer Area/P.H. Case # CU 01-35 Request The Elk River Landfill is requesting a modification to their existing conditional use permit (CUP) and solid waste facility license (most recent renewal of both was May, 2000) to allow them to dispose of demolition debris over the top of an existing mixed municipal solid waste (MSW) cell. This request necessitates a modification to their grading plan in the area of the proposed demolition debris cell. The modification includes changing the existing 5 to 1 slopes in this area to 3 to 1 slopes, which is consistent with the slopes to the south of the proposed demolition cell and encroaching on the buffer area adjacent to the City's Railroad Hiking Trail. The additional encroachment is due to the slopes and berms associated with the proposed demolition cell. The actual demolition debris will not be deposited any further into the buffer area than where the MSW is currently located. The property affected by this request is already zoned Solid Waste Facility Overlay District.
