Is Elm Hurst a possible site? The crematory does not break-even <br />financially for about 15 years. She asked what the capacity of the crematory was; <br />Member Duncan noted that worst case is that 4,400 crematories per year could be <br />done 24/7. <br /> <br />John Gleason, 721 Emerald Ridge, asked why not put the crematory in an <br />industrial area. <br /> <br />There being no further comment, Chair Rhody closed the hearing. <br /> <br />Member Cunningham noted concerns about emissions and particulate. He asked <br />the degree of emission - how close to zero? What happens when automatic <br />systems get out of adjustment? (shuts down). How often does Minnesota <br />Department of Health inspect and when? (No answer). <br /> <br />Thomas Paschke explained the process for the review in the future. <br /> <br />Member Mulder noted that he could not judge the specifications. The cremation <br />industry has high standards. <br /> <br />Motion: Member Mulder moved, second by Member Duncan, to recommend <br />approval of the Roselawn Cemetery conditional use permit to allow construction <br />of an 1800 square foot crematory structure and associated parking access <br />improvements, based on Section 4 and 5 and the conditions listed in Section 6 of <br />the project report dated June 13,2001. <br /> <br />Ayes: Duncan, Mulder, Rhody <br />Nays: Olson, Cunningham, Traynor, Wilke <br />Motion defeated by vote of 3-4. <br /> <br />Member Olson asked for hours of operation in CUP. Member Mulder explained <br />the cost of delay in cremation that may require embalming. If done 8:00 a.m. - <br />5:00 pm., seven days a week, it could serve the public. <br /> <br />Member Duncan stated he lived near the cemetery, noted the landowner has rights <br />within the zoning code, with conditions that must be met. <br />
