d 5. That the lease agreement provided that the Stoltzmans would be paid an amount yearly for the use of their property for the benefit of the residents of the Township. 6. Pursuant to said lease agreement, the landfill was used by the Township for a ten year period ending in approximately 1971. 7. That from 1972 until 1978 the landfill continued its operation at the same location, during that time Hugo residents were allowed to dump for a fee. 8. That from 1978 until the present the landfill has not been operated as an ongoing business. Specifically, the operators of the landfill have not actively sought to obtain additional materials to be brought to the landfill. Instead, the operators have been attempting to sell the recyclable materials within the landfill in an effort to reclaim the area of the landfill. 9. That since 1978 the landfill has accepted scrap iron and other recyclable materials from the automobile repair business which is also located upon the property. 10. That the landfill is comprised of a collection of steel, old metal, discarded household appliances, tires, automobile bodies, automobile component parts, and other recyclable metal materials. These materials were brought to the property over the years when the property was originally known as the "Oneka Township Landfill." 11. The landfill (solid waste disposal) use on the property would be a Special Use pursuant to § 320-4, Subd. C (3) of the City Zoning Code. However, the use is limited in that it entails only the ongoing reclamation/ recycling of the materials on the property. No new materials are being brought onto the property. 12. § 320-4, Subd. C (3) of the City Zoning Code requires a Special Use Permit for landfills. However, the Stoltzman Landfill is not an active landfill. Instead it is being operated for the limited purpose of reclaiming the area where it was established many years ago. Stoltzmans will be recycling the materials in the landfill and reclaiming the area where the landfill now exists. Additionally, the City understands that reclamation is governed by local, county, state, and/or federal regulations. 13. Additionally, it is clear that the landfill will not be enlarged or intensified. Stoltzmans may, however, continue their limited role of facilitating recycling among their neighbors. This entails accepting very small quantities of scrap metals to be recycled along with the items removed from the landfill.
