MINUTES CITY COUNCIL October 11, 1989 Frattalone stated that he would like to continue his recycling operation, pointing out that it must be done somewhere, and he has property that cannot be built on. Scalze pointed out that there are other businesses in the area that have complained about the dust from the recycling operation as well as the condition of the road and the appearance of the property. Scalze suggested that there are areas in St. Paul where such operations are being conducted which are more appropriate than Ryan Industrial Park. Frattalone stated that he had hoped the City would allow him to continue with his recycling operation and reported that the PCA has informed him that no permit is required for this operation. Fahey asked if the operation was a permitted use within the City's industrial park. The Planner pointed out that open and outdoor storage is allowed, however, it must be screened. Scalze stated that a 40 foot high pile of dirt was not storage. Fahey suggested that the City Planner look into the issue a little deeper and give the Council a report. Collova stated that he liked the idea of recycling and asked if it could be done without such a large stockpile. Fahey sugqested that such a use was more appropriate in a more rural area. Blesener stated that he would like to see a long-range plan for the development of the property. Frattalone stated that his plan would be for the use of the property as a compost site for the City. Frattalone reported that the City property in the area which was being considered for a compost site is being looked at by the Watershed for a water storage area. Frattalone did not believe the City would obtain a permit to fill its site in order to use it for composting. Frattalone pointed out that the property was dedicated to the City for ponding purposes.
