December 17, 1982 CONCEPT DISCUSSION WASTE-TO-ENERGY FACILITY PURPOSE To discuss the potential development of a Waste-To-Engery Facility on the Walburn LTD property. _ BACKGROUND Richard Bury, President of Midwest Asphalt, as re-submitted his- applica- tions for a building permit and special use permit for the construction of a "Waste-To-Energy Facility". This facility would burn garbage and produce steam heat. Mr. Bury is proposing to build this facility on his property adjacent to Midwest Asphalt. On December 14, 1982 the City Council held ordinance rezoning Mr. Bury's property fro I-3, Limited Industrial. The Council will of the ordinance on December 28th. DISCUSSION This is a concept discussion and therefore practice has been to discuss and point out the first reading oa an m I-2, Heavy Industrial to consider the second reading no action is required. The concerns that may exist. In this regard I would first note that I am not convinced at this time that the applications now submitted are valid. As contained in Joan Archer's previous reports there is a requirement for a EAQ and I do not know for certain what the time frame is for that action. The determination of whether this is a valid application will be made in the next few weeks. As for the proposal my thoughts/concerns include: 1. Compatibility with I-3 standards; 2. Relationship to Long Lake Park; 3. Relationship to development of the overall property; 4. Environmental impact; and 5. Relationship to surrounding properties. I would suggest that there are other advisory boards in the City that have an interest in this project and Mr. Bury should probably present his project to these boards. Again, as a concept discussion this is a no action item. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission recommend to the applicant that he present his proposal to other city Advisory Boards for their comments. ~~/i ~ J es F.
