PERMIT APPLICATION TO THE CITY OF ELK RIVER APRIL 2023 Application Requirements 2.1 2.0 APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS 2.1 INTRODUCTION The current Landfill footprint is located within a SWF – solid waste facility overlay district, but the 20-acres of property to the south is not. The additional property is zoned “Agricultural Conservation” and in a Mineral Excavation Overlay District. Although the proposed modifications are for stormwater management improvements, and do not allow for additional waste disposal capacity (the permitted waste limit will remain unchanged), Elk River Code, Chapter 30. Land Development Regulations, Article VI. Zoning, Division 10, Sec. 30-1834.(e) currently restricts solid waste facilities, including all stormwater management facilities, to the SWF – solid waste facilities overlay district. The language in the following portion of the ordinance is proposed to be amended to allow for stormwater management facilities related to the SWF to be located outside of the SWF zoned area. Sec. 30-1834.(e). No solid waste facility, including any portion of a solid waste facility, any easements, water or air rights, all stormwater management facilities and all buffer areas or buffer zones required, needed or useful for the establishment and/or operation of the solid waste facility, with the exception of facilities necessary for monitoring the offsite impacts of the facility on ground and surface water, shall be located or operated in the city except in those areas of the city located within the SWF—Solid waste facilities overlay zoning district. In addition to the ordinance change request, this application is submitted to obtain a sanitary landfill CUP to incorporate the additional area into the property but manage the land under the current zoning designation without expanding the SWF. 2.2 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS The Elk River Code, Chapter 30. Land Development R egulations, Article VI. Zoning, Division 2. Administration and Enforcement, Subdivision III. Conditional Use Permits, governs the conditional use permit application requirements: Sec. 30-651. Application. (b) An application for a conditional use permit shall be filed with the director of planning on a form prescribed by the city. The application shall be accompanied by such plans and information as may be required by the city, including, without limitation: (1) A site plan drawn at scale showing all abutting lots, existing buildings, existing uses, utilities, curb cuts, and locations of trees having a diameter of six inches or more.
