Robert Mitchell stated that Council had approved a pole type building for the property, and he asked why they wished to construct a substantially more permanent building for the remainder of the life of the landfill. Mr. Nowlin stated that the building they wished to construct would conform to city code. Robert Mitchell stated that perhaps Woodlake wished to maintain the building after 1996 and store trucks or equipment on the property. He suggested that the Planning Commission recommend to Council what should happen after 1996. JoEllen Hurr stated that the property is zoned SL and that Woodlake must present a plan for end -use 2 years prior to closure of the landfill. Ron Batty asked if Woodlake would agree to having all buildings put into one contract. Thomas Anderson stated that Council could allow this building if they would agree to no use of the building after 1996. Stephen Schmit stated that they should be able to operate in the manner they wish, but they will not go away in 1996. Thomas Anderson suggested that a resolution be drafted which includes a termination date for use of buildings on the property, plus the fact that the permanent structure was requested by Woodlake and not required by the city.

Ron BAtty stated that if one road is taken over, there will be other requests. He asked how many of such roads exist.
