The City Code of Ordinances requires that all Solid Waste Facility Licenses in the City expire <br />evely two years from the date of issuance. The City has always amended both the CUP and License every <br />two years since much of the language is the same in both. The current CUP and SWFL for the ERL <br />expire on February 17, 2010 and that is the reason for this request. <br />Staff and the Applicant have proposed some changes to the existing CUP and SWFL. Many of the <br />changes are considered housekeeping. Here are some of the more significant changes to the CUP and <br />SWFL: <br />Conditional Use Permit {CUP) <br />1. Demolition Debris. The Applicant and staff have agreed to remove the sections that relate to <br />demolition debris, as the areas of the landfill which accept demolition debris are all located in <br />Livonia Township. <br />2. Paragraph 3 Buffer Zone/Screening. Paragraph 3 of the CUP currently reads as follows: "A <br />Buffer Zone shall be established within the perimeter of the Landfill Property around the waste <br />disposal areas of not less than 200 feet, except on the north side. Within this Buffer Zone, no waste <br />disposal may occur. The Landfill shall develop an inventory of significant trees within the buffer <br />zone. The preservation of trees within the buffer zone shall be pxovided for during the <br />construction, operation, and closure of the Landfill. Said plans shall be in compliance with the <br />screening plans dated, May 2$, 1999 and, which are incorporated into the Sherburne County's <br />license for the Landfill." <br />S:\Council\Rebecca\ERL CU 10-02-CUP 21G 10.doc <br />
