' • Y CITY OF LA PORTE INTER-OFFICE MEMO T0: PLAN AND ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS FROM: D ULISSEN SUBJECT: MILLER TRANSPORTERS SPECIAL USE PERMIT DATE: 5/17/84 Mr. Eddie Gray has resubmitted the request for a special use permit to allow a truck terminal on blocks 1177, 1178, and that portion of 17th Street bounded therein. This request is in behalf of Miller Transporters, Inc. Several questions were asked of Mr. Gray at the Board of Adjustments meeting of 4/19/84 that could not be answered at that time. Mr. Gray and Miller have submitted information to allow these questions to answered. I have listed the questions and the replies below. (1) Has 17th Street been closed? The process to close that portion of 17th is well under way. As I understand, the City Secretary has received all of the information needed to present the street closing to City Council. This will be scheduled as soon as possible for Council review and action. The granting of this special use permit can be used to help Council make a decision. The special use permit will not be needed if Miller does not get 17th St. closed (2) What chemicals will be handled by the proposed facility? A list of the chemicals has been submitted by WCM: Waste Control Management, Inc. and has been enclosed in your packet for review. C3) What is the potential for surface contamination, and what methods are to be used to control it? You may refer to WCM's letter for details. The facility will handle only empty containers with minute residuals of chemicals in them. The potential for spillage is very small and the volume will not be sufficient to leave the property. The site will be concrete paved. and drained to a central point for collection 'and pretreatment. (4) Has Miller Transporters, Inc. had problems in the past with any of the environmental agencies? Bill McNutt of WCM has researched this area and finds no previous record with the EPA.
