<br />PLANNING REPORT <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />10 June 1992 <br /> <br />CASE NUMBER: <br /> <br />2375 <br /> <br />APPLICANT: <br /> <br />Ramsey County <br />Dept. of Public Health <br /> <br />LOCATION: <br /> <br />Kent Street <br />N. of Larpenteur Ave. <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> <br />Interim Use Permit <br /> <br />1. BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Ramsey County recently adopted a program to collect household <br />hazardous wastes (HHW) from residents and dispose of them <br />properly, so they would not be ádanger at home nor would they <br />contaminate landfills. Examples of HHW include paint, solvents, <br />cleaners, etc. The county has contracted with Dynex Industries, a <br />hazardous waste handling firm, for a year-round drop-off site at <br />Dynex's Mounds View facility, but wants another drop-off site in <br />the Roseville area. The county is proposing to set up a temporary <br />HHW collection on the county-owned property on Kent Street, to be <br />operated on certain weekends in the fall and spring of 1992 and <br />1993, and is requesting an Interim Use Permit for the facility. <br /> <br />2. DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS <br /> <br />The facility will consist of a paved area for cars to drive onto <br />the site, covered with a temporary canopy that would be taken down <br />when the facility is not operating. The canopy would be located <br />over 350' north of Larpenteur Avenue. Dynex employees would <br />inspect HHW materials and pack them for transport to the Mounds <br />View facility for processing. The entire operation and facility <br />are thoroughly described in the attached materials. <br /> <br />The facility is not expected to attract large amounts of traffic, <br />but the site, being relatively isolated on Kent Street, could <br />handle many more than the 40 cars a day that are anticipated. <br /> <br />Even though the materials handled at the site are "hazardous", <br />they would typically be the kind of household supplies that most <br />of us have around our homes in small quantities. They would not <br />be stored on site overnight. An emergency response coordinator <br />would be on site whenever the facility is in use, in case of a <br />
