<br />for recycling and returned the site for reuse. According to the applicant, the new storage and <br />recycling system would reduce hazardous chemical disposals by as much as 65 percent. The <br />applicants do have a valid license with Ramsey County for handling hazardous materials. <br />Hazardous materials can be handled in the GB Zone with proper licenses. <br /> <br />The two new tanks would be installed next to two existing tanks that were permitted in a <br />previous planning case in 2000. The tanks are next to the building and approximately 200 <br />feet from the edge of Gateway Boulevard. The fencing around the two existing tanks would <br />be expanded to screen the two new tanks from adjacent properties. The fence is a chain link <br />fence with tan fabric mesh that is similar in color to the building. The fence was part of the <br />approval process for the two existing tanks. A screening wall connected to the building near <br />Gateway Boulevard also helps screen the tanks from Gateway Boulevard, though the wall <br />does not provide a significant amount of screening for the tanks. <br /> <br />There will not be any reduction in parking with the additional tanks as all parking is on the <br />other side of the building. Truck traffic may decrease slightly on the site since the tanks will <br />reduce waste collection from twice a month to once a month. The tanks will be built on an <br />existing impervious surface; therefore, no change in impervious coverage will occur with this <br />application. <br /> <br />The new recycling system and tanks are not expected produce any noticeable odor or any <br />noise since the system is essentially closed on the outside of the building. <br /> <br />Previous Planning Cases <br /> <br />The property has been part of three other planning cases. In 1997, Planning Case 97-006 was <br />approved, which was the original PUD for this property. Planning Cases 00-017 and 00-031 <br />were approved in 2000. These planning cases included minor changes to the exterior of the <br />building and the two existing storage tanks that would be adjacent to the two proposed tanks <br />in this application. <br /> <br />2.
