Findings/Recommendation MPCA has already approved the request by Elk River Landfill to add demolition debris over cell DC-3. Sherburne County has indicated that they will also approve this request, but are waiting for the City of Elk River to react to it. The Planning Commission found that the Landfill's request met the seven standards listed above for a conditional use permit and the four evaluation criteria list in the city's Shoreland Management Ordinance. Therefore, the City of Elk River Planning Commission is recommending approval of the modification to Elk River Landfill's Solid Waste Facility License and CUP to allow demolition debris to be deposited over MSW cell DC-3 under the following conditions: ,. 1. That this approval is conditioned on the recommendations contained in Matt Ledvina's letter, dated October 18, 2001. That Sections 2.) (03) (b) of the Landfill's CUP and Solid Waste Facility License be amended to read: "The demolition debris landfill cell DC-3 shall be located and operated as shown on the June 2001 Permit Application and August 2001 revisions submitted by the Permittee with city staff approving and having the authority to make decisions on the technical issues involved." That three rows of spruce with ten feet spacing between rows and ten feet spacing between trees in each row shall be planted on the city's property in areas adjacent to the proposed demolition cell where no trees currently exist. Other vegetation, such as bushes, shall be planted in these areas as proposed by Landfill. Further, that spruce shall be planted on the Landfill's property at the base of the slope along the entire length of the new demolition debris cell to help screen the operation during the winter. Lastly, that the Landfill provide the city a plan depicting these requirements, prior to the Elk River City Council acting on this request. 4. That this current amendment does not replace the Landfill's requirement to~.renew their Solid Waste Facility License and CUP in May of 2004.
