<br /> --------------- <br /> . <br /> ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - December 1, 2004 2 <br /> 2. A Special use Permit Amendment form, drafted by the City Attorney, shall . <br /> amend the SUP and include the two amendments to the Special Use Permit. <br /> The SUP Amendment form shall reference the proposed revision to the Site <br /> Plan from Planning Case #04-19. Building permits may only be issued after the <br /> SUP Amendment document receives the approval of the City Council and is <br /> executed by both the City Council and the applicant. <br /> 3. Screening to surround the dumpster, east of the used oil collection building, <br /> should be constructed of wood or another opaque material such that the <br /> dumpster is adequately screened. <br /> 4. The used oil building should be of colors consistent with the surrounding <br /> buildings on the Ramsey County Public Works Facility site. <br /> Commissioner Modesette asked how the stormwater was going to be managed in this <br /> new area. Mr. Hellegers replied there would be drainage to the north where there was an <br /> existing stormwater drainage area. <br /> Commissioner Zimmerman stated at a previous meeting it was noted this was not going <br /> to be a 24-hour facility, and now they were asking for a 24-hour facility. He expressed <br /> concern about the size of this proposed location. He also noted that this waste facility <br /> was not a part of the SUP process. He asked how they could control hazardous waste . <br /> being dropped off if this was a 24-hour facility. Mr. Hellegers replied Commissioncr <br /> Zimmerman was accurate when he said this was not a part of the original SUP process. <br /> With respect to a 24-hour facility, one of the concerns before was that Ramsey County <br /> did not want the waste site within their security fence, but where it was being proposed <br /> now, it would not be within the security fence. <br /> Commissioner Zimmerman asked why the Special Use Pcrmit was attached to their <br /> handout when it had not been presented to the Planning Commission and the City <br /> Council. Mr. Hellegers replied the Special Use Pcrmit was a draft document and it would <br /> need to go through the entire process before it was approved and signed. <br /> Chair Sand expressed concern that they were being asked to approve this in isolation. He <br /> stated they were being asked to consider how particular uses were not only going to <br /> impact this facility, but how it would impact the entire TCAAP facility. He indicated <br /> they needed to consider the large picture. He stated he could not recommend this for that <br /> reason as well as the facility not meeting aesthetic requirements as noted in staff's report. <br /> He statcd there were many negatives to this proposal. He expressed concern about this <br /> being a 24-hour operation. He noted cven though this was an isolated area now, it might <br /> not be an isolated area in five years. He statcd hc was upset the County simply expected <br /> this to be approved. <br /> Commissioner Ricke asked what problems the County had at the exiting facility with . <br /> respect to spillage and hazardous waste being dropped off. She suggested having a <br /> security camera in that area, as well as limiting the hours. She noted it was important to <br /> have this type of a facility for the environment. <br /> L_ ___ --------------- <br />
