ITEM 5.2. <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> 'ty of <br /> .lkRi• <br /> ver TO: Planning Commission <br /> FROM: Stephen Rohlf, Building & Zoning <br /> Administrator <br /> DATE: April 22, 1997 5J <br /> SUBJECT: LANDFILL C.U.P.AMENDMENT <br /> OVERVIEW <br /> The Elk River Landfill last renewed their conditional use permit and solid waste facility <br /> license with the city in January of 1996. The renewal period was for four years, but the <br /> landfill is proposing to expand beyond the original forty acre site that was approved. <br /> This expansion was anticipated by the city when the property owned by the landfill was <br /> zoned Solid Waste Facility Overlay District. However, no specific approval of this <br /> • expansion was given during the last renewal. Therefore, the Elk River Landfill is <br /> requesting an amendment to their current conditional use permit and renew their solid <br /> waste facility license. <br /> In addition,the landfill is in the process of renewing their permit with the Minnesota <br /> Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Since the city's license and conditional use permit <br /> specifically reference MPCA's permit,the city needs to consider whether or not to accept <br /> the proposed revisions to that document as is or be more restrictive. MPCA's current <br /> permit for the landfill was issued in 1983. <br /> Although the Planning Commission is not specifically charged with giving a <br /> recommendation on a solid waste facility license,the license and conditional use permit <br /> work together. Staff feels it is necessary and appropriate for the Planning Commission to <br /> be familiar with the license and comment on it to the City Council. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> Vicinity map <br /> Application cover letter- from Victoria Kreger, Site Manager of the Elk River Landfill, <br /> dated March 27, 1997 <br /> • <br /> Lanfi197 <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
