• Regular Meeting 1/6/75 5 5. JOINT PUBLIC HEARING - "SPECIAL USE PERMIT" (CONT'D.) Mr. Westergren stated that Mr. R. W. Patrick, Engineer for the proposed project and Mr. John Di Gulio, General Manager for Chemlime were present and would answer any questions. Mr. Westergren presented the proposed plat and explained the location of Outlot 1, Nebraska Syndicate was located between Crestlane and 16th Street. There will be a buffer zone of trees around the site. The lime will come in by rail tank car and leave in liquid form by tank truck. The operation should be lime dust free. There was a brief discussion regarding water usage and the effect of lime dust on the lungs, compared to asbestos. It was determined that the City has no way of determining the effect and must rely on the necessary environmental agencies. Mayor Thomas read the letter of recommendation to call a joint public hearing from the Chairman of the Planning • and Zoning Commission, to consider a special use permit to allow the relocation of Chemlime Corporation, pending approval of all necessary environmental agencies. A copy of said letter is attached and made a part of these minutes. (B) MR. HAROLD PFEIFFER - 619 BROWNELL - Mr. Harold Pfeiffer was recognized and addressed the Commission. Mr. Pfeiffer stated that his business was located at 116 N. 16th Street. Mr. Pfeiffer stated that few people understood the full impact of the environmental agencies. If there are any problems, the agency needs to only be notified, and the operation can be shut down. He further stated he was for growth and urged the Commission to give careful consideration to the request for the special use permit for light industry. Mayor Thomas asked if there was anyone desiring to speak for the request. There being none, declared the joint public hearing closed. The meeting of the City Commission was recessed while the Planning and Zoning Commission met to consider the request for the special use permit.
