Page 2 of 7 Following submittal of the Land Use Application on March 30tH, the ERL met with City Staff and their consultants on May 12tH to answer questions regarding their review of the Application. Items relating to the following were discussed on May 12tH: • MNDOT Highway 169 Interchange design and frontage road right-of-way • Questions and a few points of clarification on screening and landscape berm • Forest management regarding 12 acres of preserved woodlands • A proposed easement to the City Trail • Contingency Action costs • Proposed landfill closure date of 12/31/2033 • Timing and commitment to gas plant permitting and construction • Commitment to working with City and County of future Household Hazardous Waste facility • Concerns regarding the soil balance for the site and the amount of soil material necessary for construction • Clean-up Day versus use of coupons for City residents • Timing of City review/approval process Revised drawings, updated tables, and additional information as necessary related to the above items were submitted to the City in a letter on May 26tH. As we read materials prepared by City Staff and their consultants, went through the Planning Commission process, and listened to comments from the Council members at the July 6tH Council meeting, it became apparent that additional future development potential along 221St Avenue and the future interchange was a key issue with regard to our Land Use Application. Thus, based on these comments and the Council's desire for additional future development potential in the area, on August 17tH the ERL submitted a modified Landfill footprint, allowing for additional development along the southern portion of the 109-acre SDA parcel. The August 17tH drawings also included a larger screening berm located along 221St Avenue, as this was another major concern made by Council during the July 6tH meeting. 8/17/2009 Modified Cit A lication 3/30/2009 Cit A lication 2004 Original MPCA Desi n Increase in Ca acit 9,850,300 CY 13,600,000 CY 15,000,000 CY Increase in Landfill Foot rint 49.3 acres 68.8 acres 73.7 acres Landfill Footprint Located on 109-acre Parcel 40.7 acres 60.2 acres 65.1 acres Antici ated Closure Date 2029 2033 2033 Area Available for Future Develo ment 33.1 acres 10 acres Minimal The drawings depicting the revised footprint provided to Council on August 17tH are also included as part of this submittal as Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 represents the difference between the design included with the March 30tH City Application (Old Plan) and the revised design submitted at the August 17tH Council meeting (New Plan). Figure 2 represents the area available for future development, 33.1 acres, which would be available following the closure of the Landfill and removal of the perimeter screening berm. During a meeting with City Staff on August 25tH an additional drawing, Figure 3, was submitted. Figure 3 represents the area available for development during the active life of the Landfill (i.e. with the screening berm in place). Figure 3 also represents the enhanced screening berm which is being proposed as part of the revised design.
