LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: A. Update on Hammes Clean NOVEMBER 16, 1993 Up & Tour of City:Jim McNamara Jim McNamara reported the Hammes family has done a good job of cleaning up the exterior storage and provided the council with updated pictures. The large trash pile is scheduled to be burned on November 20. Fire Chief Dick Sachs made an on -site inspection and the pile consists of all burnable material. Attorney Gleekel, Hammes' attorney, asked that Jim make a request to the council to permit the recycling operation to continue because they will apply for an amendment to their CUP as soon as possible. Administrator Kueffner explained that the PZ recommended not allowing recycling in the Agricultural zoning district. Therefore, there is nothing for them to apply for other than an amendment to the code to allow recycling as a use in the Agricultural zoning district. Also, the city has repealed the mining ordinance. Hammes Mining is operating as a legal nonconforming use. If recycling is going to be used as an accessory use similar to mining, consideration will have to be given for allowing expansion of mining. M/S/C Mottaz/Johnson - to allow the Hammes family one month to submit a request to change their CUP to include the bituminous/concrete recycling operation. (Motion carried 5-0). Jim reported that for the past two weeks he, along with a Washington County Deputy, drove around the city checking for nuisance violations. Most of the initial contacts were given a warning notice with a 15 day deadline. If they are reoccurring violations, a citation will be issued.
