. . . PAGE 4 Planning Commission Minut~~ October 28. 1986 Mr. Hetland stated that he has seen cases where trade-offs in water quality are made for air quality and does not want to see that happen here. He further stated that he was concerned that such a small group of people (the City Council) has the authority to make important decisions for such a large number of people. Chairman Wilson stated that it is the City government's pos~t~on to look out for its citizens. He further stated that this ordinance will give the city more control than they presently have. Mr. Wilson noted that the UPA burn facility will be required to obtain a license per the new ordinance requirements once the ordinance has been finalized, adopted and published. and that the City will have the authority to look at the operation in the future to place controls as necessary. Mrs. Marilyn Schroeder of 13575 Island View Drive expressed her concern that since the City is included in Clause 127. the operation can not be required to put scrubbers. She also expressed her concern that even if the City does have the authority to adopt this ordinance. Anoka County can appeal the City controls to the Waste Management Board and the City could be overruled. Mrs.Mari1yn Hentges questioned when the new ordinance would take effect. if inac ted. Mr. Beck stated that published, but that it in place. the ordinance will will take some months be in effect once it is to get the license process Chairman Wilson questioned Mr. Beck and Mr. Rohlf whether it would be appropriate to recommend approval of the ordinance in concept and send it on for the City Council to review the revised draft. or if the ordinance amendment should remain under the Planning Commission's consideration until they have worked out a more final document. Mr. Rohlf stated that he felt the intent of the ordinance is contained in this draft and that if the Planning Commission agrees with the intent of the ordinance. it could be approved in concept, if not, it could be denied.
