. . \. ~ Planning Commission Minutes May 7, 1986 Leslie D~vis indicated that he wanted the Planning Commission to know that if they approved the RDF Plant, no other decision they would have to approve in their position would ever be more tragic and that if we allow garbage burn-' ing it guarantees burning and burying of garbage forever and we must stop it now. The Planning Commission asked if staff had any further comments. The Building and Zoning Administrator had the following comments: That the entire RDF site should either be landscaped or tarred. That all buildings associated with the site plan meets setbacks and proper building permits must be obtained prior to construction if the RDF plant conditional use permit is approved. Also Steve Rohlf, the Building and Zon~ng Adminitrator wanted to emphasize the fact that waste water associated from the processing line should not be introduced into the on- site drainfield and that Russ Anderson, Elk River Fire Chief indicated that the ingress and egress and roads associated with the plan were adequate for fire protection, however, he did have concerns with the water storage tank on site that would be used for fire supression and wanted to know what the holding capacity of that was. The Building and Zoning Administrator also emphasized that the draingage plan should be reviewed again because they did not indicate adequate holding capacity for drain- age forthesite and that C3 land should not be used for the RDF site because it is not an approved use for C3A property. The Planning Commission members indicated that they would like to have a work session jointly with the Council and John C10vnay of the Cedar Corporation who is the consultant for the City on the RDF project to go over some of the more technical issues of the RDF to familiarize both the Council and the Planning Commission with those items. A recap of the Planning Commission concerns for the Council are as follows: 1. That the ingress and egress to the property appeared to be adequate and they recommend approval as shown on the NSP site plan. 2. That the fencing be the six foot high chain link fence around the entire property. 3. That the landscaping of the property be approved as per NSP site plan. 4. That the signage be addressed prior to final approval of the conditional use permit for the RDF plant. 5. That the lighting associated with the plant not be done in a way that would bother any of the adj ourning land owners.
