Tupco Ron Batty explained that he had prepared a resolution for Council to consider regarding revocation of the Tupco permit and that the owners had been notified to be in attendance at this meeting. JoEllen Hurr explained that Mark Pieper had attended the september Planning Commission meeting, at which the members had listed a number of conditions and items which they were to bring to the October meeting. The items were not brought to that meeting and at the November meeting the members had recommended that the permit be revoked. Mark Pieper asked Council if they would allow him to present information, which he did, in the form of a number of pictures of facilities in Dakota County, the city of St. Paul, city of Richfield and a facility on Payne Ave in St. Paul, all of which appear to be ill kept. He presented a drawing of his site and explained what is existing and what is being planned.

Thomas Anderson reported that the things that have not been done are payment of the bill for the heavy equipment used at the fire on July 2nd.; they had not provided the Planning Commission with the items requested and had not worked with the fire chief on construction of berms, fire roads and fire hydrants. Mark Pieper stated that he had told the Council that he would pay the fire equipment rental bill if the city worked with him on the Conditional Use Permit. JoEllen Hurr stated that the primary concern was of what type of material the berms would be built. Dave Pieper stated that the assistant chief and fire marshall wanted berms 80 ft. wide at the base, 20 ft. wide at the top and hydrants every 150 ft. and that it would cost $150,000 to build berms to those specifications. Robert Mitchell stated that the Piepers bought the Conditional Use Permit conditions when they purchased the property from Reed bales. JoEllen Hurr stated that the berms were to be built by October 31, 1987, but because an agreement was not made as to the type of material they were given, until december 31, 1987. Loren Kohnen stated that nothing has been done to build the berms and materials con- tinue to be hauled to the site. Anne Theis asked if they had delivery slips for material sold and asked if the product will be moved off site in the upcoming months. Dave Pieper stated that Nistlers had hauled in material which the city had approved as JoEllen had been on the property when they arrived. He stated that he did not think the city could intervene with business on a daily basis. JoEllen stated that he visits the landfill three times a week. Thomas Anderson asked if the pace could be considered a hazard. Mark Pieper stated that the PCA has not said it is a hazard. Karla Wahl, attorney representing Tupco, stated that she had gotten the material recently and that she would be willing to work with city staff.
