SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST - BYRON ANDERSON
Byron Anderson, 15624 Jeffrey Ave., has applied for a Special Use Permit
to land treat petroleum contaminated soil on his property. The property
is zoned agriculture. Approximately 300 cubic yards would be transported
from Lindbeck Auto in White Bear Lake and spread over 3/4 of an acre.
Steve Anderson stated that there is approximately 15 gallons of petroleum
in the sand to be land treated. James Joslyn, an environmentalist from
the MPCA stated that there will be virtually no silting from the spread
into nearby ponds. The area is surrounded by grass that would aid in
filtering any runoff, which is expected to be none. The oxygen is the
agent which helps to eliminate the contaminant, combined with the
organisms in the clean soil. The contaminated soil will be disked within
48 hours of being spread. The soil is then disked again in the fall. It
has been determined that this is the safest and most efficient way of
handling contaminated soil.
Motion made by Kellison, seconded by Rubenzer, to recommend approval of
the Special Use Permit request of Byron Anderson to land spread
approximately 300 cubic yards of petroleum contaminated soil on 3/4 of an
acre on his property at 15624 Jeffrey Ave.
All aye, motion passed.
SUBDIVISION REQUEST - D.T. PROPERIJES
Richard Tschida, of D.T. Properties has requested to subdivide 8.9 acres
into three lots. The property is zoned Retail Business and is located at
the northeast intersection of 170th St. and Highway 61. Soil borings and
perc tests have been received on all three parcels and require mound
systems.
Mr. Tschida did not attend the meeting. Members felt there were too many
questions regarding access to the property, high water table, types of
businesses proposed, and type of construction proposed to make a
recommendation on this request.
Motion made by Rubenzer, seconded Schumann to table the request of D.T.
Properties until July 27, 1994 and the applicant can be present to address
the questions stated above.
All aye, motion passed.
