Thomas Crosby explained that he had reviewed all of the documents for technical provisions

ories; that there is a provision for a BFI gurantee in all documents and that items from
the January 17th meeting are incorporated.
He stated that he had met with Dick Nowlin to discuss several possibilities for reduction
of the time period and Mr. Nowlin agreed that the permit holder shall use its best effort
to exhaust the air space capacity authorized herein and to terminate the landfill operation
at the site, prior to December 31, 1993; that the permit holder shall conduct, stage and
complete landfill activity so as to minimize the adverse visual impact from the operation
on surrounding properties and shall keep open only the smallest working area as is pract-
icable; that the city reserves the right to negotiate for the use of a portion of the air
space capacity exclusively for the use of waste from a resource recovery facility and to
negotiate to shorten the maximum term provided herein in the event of substantial changes
in the need for land disposal of solid waste within Hennepin County attributable to the
development of a resource recovery facility.
He also stated that he had discussed, with Mr. LeFevere, the fact that indicates the issuance
of a permit to Woodlake is because Woodlake is a responsible entity and if they cease oper-
ating, the permit ceases. This will avoid a less responsible operator from taking over the
business.
He then listed the following disadvantages to approving the permit:
Landfill continues in Medina with traffic and litter problems.
Pollution to water, etc.
Affect on property values.
Property value of this property affected after it ceases to be a landfill.
By having a landfill someone may decide it might be a good place for another.
Possibility of a lawsuit by those opposed to cities action.
He then listed the following advantages:
Ability to impose controls we don't have now, ie: litter, pollution control, testing.
Gaining gurantee from BFI and Hennepin County which we do not now have as problems with
existing are just as great as anything new.
City gained assurances as to how taxed after landfill completed.
Existance of this landfill acts as a repellant for a megasite in the community.
If turned down might be condemned by other governmental body.
Avoidance of a lawsuit.
He stated that he believed the program developed is fair to the city and the applicant.
JoEllen Hurr asked if conditions included combination of all parcels.
Mr. LeFevere stated that it was not included.
Motion by Heideman, seconded by Crosby to approve the Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. LeFevere stated that the first thing the Council should do would be to accept letter
of acceptance presented by BFI.
Mr. Crosby stated that the time period most often sited by citizens is 5 years but that
BFI will not agree to that period but would agree not to expand and to a time period of
12 years.
Motion by Heideman, seconded by Crosby to table action on her previous motion.
Motion declared carried
000020
Motion by Crosby, seconded by Scherer to accept letter written by Woodlake Sanitary
Landfill, signed by Rodney Kager, dated January 17, 1984.
Motion declared carried
Motion by Heideman, seconded by Crosby to bring back to the table the previous motion
to approvethe Conditional Use Permit. She asked that it be amended to include rezoning

ment and all documents attached to the Draft Conditional Use Permit.
Motion declared carried
Gary Petrucci asked what had happenedto the Contract Zoning.
Mr. LeFevere stated that the rezoning agreement includes provision that zoning will re-
vert to residential after closure; that a successor shall have an obligation under the
Rezoning Agreement.
Thomas Crosby asked that staff and attorney prepare final draft for approval of the Mayor.
Motion by Heideman, seconded by Scherer to add first paragraph of information received
from Dick Nowlin to the resolution, subject to some rewording.
JoEllen Hurr asked if all parcels should be combined for protection of the city, knowing
that there are 60 acres of wetlands.
Motion declared carried
Motion by Crosby, seconded by Heideman to amend the previous motion to require that all
property subject to the permit be combined into one for tax and subdivision purposes.
Motion declared carried
Thomas Anderson stated that he favored approval because city and citizens were protected
with long term liability. He stated that documents were well drafted with the help of
citizens group and does have a termination date.
Thomas Crosby asked if documents give the city the ability to include anything the
Federal Government or other legislation might change and if not a provision should be
included that would incorporate any applicable subsequent laws.
Mr. LeFevere stated that Chapter 27 allows for fees and charges.
Mr. Crosby stated that it should be broader so the permitee would be subject to relevant
statutes.
Motion by Crosby, seconded by Heideman that documents shall include requirments that app-
licant (permitee) be subject to Federal and State legislation or regulations imposed
after date of issuance of permit.
Dr. REnier stated that it was difficult for the citizens group to accept the Council
decision; that he recognized the effort made by the city and he asked that conditions
of the permit be strictly enforced with some assurance given to the public that they
will be enforced.
Anne Heideman stated that both Council and staff agree that conditions of the permit must
be adhered to.
Dr. Renier stated that he hoped the Woodlake organization would live up to its responsi-
bility as it is obvious that they have not done so in the past.

Commission for a Public Hearing.
