garage to be used to store and repair equipment used in the operation of the landfill.
She stated that the Planning Commission had recommended approval with a number of con-
ditions.
Thomas Anderson stated that council might wish to consider allowing a pole -type building
because of the length of time remaining in the permit period.
Thomas Crosby stated that to permit anything new would be contrary to the spirit of the
permit and the city might be in a difficult posistion if Woodlake argues, at the end
of the permit period, that they have not had reasonable use of their building.
JoEllen Hurr stated that the original permit does not address collection of garbage
and that this permit would link the building to the original permit.

Ron Batty stated that Council could not, but what he was asking was could a permit be
issued if conditions were met as set forth in the ordinance.
Attorney, Dick Nowlin, stated that he did not see how a 3000 ft. addition to a 10,000
sq. ft. building would change the legal right to operate at the end of 10 years.
Thomas Crosby stated that he did not want subsequent negotiations to weaken the 1984
agreement.

Thomas Anderson stated that he did not want to create a situation whereby landfill
operators believed they could operate forever.

of the total request.

JoEllen Hurr reviewed memo regarding the land alteration necessary to construct the
Leachate collection system in Areas 3 and 4.
Bruce Liesch asked what options, other than stockpiling, there might be for the material.
Rollin Smith stated that it could be stockpiled on Area I but citizens would object
because it would be unsightly.
Bruce Liesch stated that there would be a problem with drainage if piled on Area I.
He stated that he wanted the least disruption possible and asked if the material would
be removed from the site or used as final cover.
Rollin Smith stated that it would be used for final cover.
JoEllen Hurr stated that the design was not worked out when the original permit was
approved.
Thomas Anderson asked what had happened with the trees to the north. 1 4 j
Leonard Leuer stated that the Environmental Impact Statement had a map indicating that
the upland forest would not be disturbed, but the dirt in that area needs to be moved
so that the collection system can be installed.
Thomas Anderson asked if there was any other area that dirt could be stockpiled, such
as the area between the berm and the swamp.
Bruce Liesch stated that they will be installing monitoring wells in that area and that
it is preferable to stockpile north of Areas 3 and 4, than putting on Area I which is
closed and stabalized.
rollin Smith stated that the dirt piles would be shaped and seeded.
Robert Mitchell stated that land alteration is consistent with others but because major
work is being done some language is needed from the city.
JoEllen Hurr stated that it might be beneficial to have a building for end -use monitoring.
Thomas Anderson stated that they should be told that the building would need to be taken
down within 10 years.

permit according to terms included in the application and that the Mayor and Attorney
