City of Elk River for Ordinance Amendment Relating to Buffer Zones Case No OA 10 01, Public Hearln~ Mr. Barnhart presented the staff report.

He reviewed additional changes to Section 2 and 3 of the proposed ordinance amendment. He noted there was a question regarding the buffer area to the west of the landfill and whether it is in the solid waste facility district. He stated in discussing this matter with staff and reviewing the zoning map, it appears the zoning line may be on a section line that is east of the city trail. He stated it is his understanding that all of the landfill's property to the eastern edge of the trail is zoned solid waste facility and has been since the landfill received this zoning designation in the late 80's. He stated he didn't have time to confirm this, but if this is not the case, then the city should correct it. Mr. Beck clarified that the buffer area is an area where solid waste can't be disposed but landfill type facilities (such as service roads and wells) are allowed. He noted this is how the ordinance has been interpreted and applied.

He stated as a consequence, the Findings of Fact Five and Six
