LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 1, 1990 PAGE 3 in his memo, dated April 27, 1990, that after inspecting the tenant ( spaces at Trans City, meeting with Washington County Public Health and speaking with Mr. Brott, MPCA, he did not feel there is a violation of Trans City's C.U.P. (See J.McNamara's letter dated Apil 27, 1990). Mary Ann E. and H. Brent Archer, Glass Etc., gave a presentation on the process used in creating their finished product. The Council was provided with a statement from Gary LeGand, Env. Specialist of 3M Graphic Products Marketing, that there were no peculiar chemical qualities or unusual ingredients which would make the 3M products they use unusually hazardous either as inventory or as generators of waste. Copies were provided of the statement from Dr. Bruno Staffen, Senior Environmental Employee, stating the federal legal definition of storage. (See attachments) Councilman Williams indicated his appreciation to Glass Etc. for coming before the Council with their presentation. He added, I had stated, if any violation to the C.U.P. existed I believed it would have been unintentional. When he asked the Building Official if hazardous materials were being stored, he could not answer this question and was unable to get the answer to him by the next Council meeting. Based on the advice of our City Attorney, I requested we postpone consideration of the C.U.P. until an inspection was made. As a result of the inspection by the Bldg.

This is the type of business we would like to have in our community and welcome Glass Etc, into our city.
