City Council Minutes October 21, 1991 Page 4 e Mayor Tralle indicated that the Council had reviewed this request in detail at an earlier Council meeting in May. Chris Kreger, Owner of the Landfill, indicated that part of the solid waste license agreement stating that the licensee shall deposit an i.ni tial sum of $1,000 and that, 15q: shall be deposited monthly into the account for each gate yard of waste received at the Landfill until the escrow fund has a balance of $350,000 which should negate the need for a bond. He indicated that there is enough financial insurance in the licensing agreement with the State and County and feels that because of this, the need of a surety bond is unnecessary. It was the consensus of the Council that the surety bonding requirement in the license agreement was necessary and should not be removed. Chris Kreger questioned whether the City could eliminate some of the charges from Consultants which the Landfill is paying for. He indicated that he pays his own engineers for the same information he is receiving from the State's engineers and the City's engineers. He stated that there was a lot of duplication of work causing a large cost to the Landfill. Council member Kropuenske indicated that because of the nature of his business, there was no way of getting around paying for these costs. Chris Kreger questioned whether the City could bill him monthly for these costs. It was the consensus of the Council that a monthly payment program could be worked out between staff and the Elk Ri ver Landfill. e COUNCILMEMBER SCHULDT LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR PERIOD THROUGH 1993.

Conditional Use Permit Reauest by Kennedy Gardens/Public Hearin~ Janelle Szklarski indicated that Leroy and Katherine Kennedy had appeared before the City Council on September 16, 1991, requesting a conditional use permit to operate a greenhouse business at their residence. She indicated that the Planning Commission reviewed their request and tabled the item so that staff could investigate alternatives available in regard to the existing off-premise signs advertising the business. Janelle Szklarski stated that staff did investigate alternatives, however, the City Attorney felt that there was no provisions in the City's ordinance to allow seasonal off-premise signs for a home occupation. e Jerry Schroeder, Planning Commission Representative, stated that the Planning Commission had originally recommended approval of the conditional use permit with certain stipulations. Mayor Tralle opened the public hearing. Leroy and Katherine Kennedy were present.
