Ci~ Approval Process Staff anticipates the Landfill making application for the expansion late in 2005 or early 2006. The city can't take fInal action on the Landfill's request to expand until the environmental review process is completed. The following is an outline of the city's review process: Zone Change - The area they propose to expand into is required to be rezoned to Solid Waste Facility Overlay District (SWF). With an overlay district the underlying zoning remains in place, in this case it is Agricultural, but an interim use may take place. The city should review the proposed end use of the property closely. The Landfill has been working with the Elk River Park and Recreation Commission regarding this issue. Conditional Use Pennit - The proposed expansion requires a city conditional use permit. Some of the major issues to consider include: how the expansion affects the future interchange proposed at Highway 169 and 221"' Avenue, screening along 221" and Highway 169, odor, litter, remediation of any existing contamination, maximum height, leachate recirculation, etc. Solid Waste Facili~ License - The fInal approval required by the city is for a Solid Waste Facility License. Whereas the conditional use permit runs with the land, the license is to the operator and holds them responsible for the operation. The license is also easier, legally, to alter if circumstances dictate.
