• • All Poly Drum 11/10/88 Page 2 r____~Se.c,t.o,n~ -11-.6.05.3 of the.,Cty's Zoning Ordinance allows for~specia exceptions to yar_d_r_e_q-uirements for corner to s. Analvsis• All Poly Drum has for several years been out of compliance with the City's Industrial Waste Ordinance (41212 and 1357). This ordinance regulates the type of materials that may be discharged into the City's; sanitary sewer system. ~In an effort to correct their problem, All Poly has. in the past few years invested several thousand dollars to upgrade their facility. and bring it into compliance. The equipment already installed includes ,the sump well and d~i~ked concrete wash pad indicated on Exhibit A, It is primarily the location of these facilities, installed in conformance with the City's former zoning ordinance, that will constrain the location of the proposed treatment equipment. As indicated in .All Poly's Special Exception application, the proposed treatment equipment will be a "closed loop" system that is intended to remove contaminates from waste water and allow the same water to be reused for cleaning other drums. If operated as proposed, this system will eliminate All Poly Drtim's discharge of all waste (other than normal sanitary waste) into the City's sewer system. Staff has reviewed the specifications of the proposed treatment system (See Exhibit B): and base d.. .on this review feels that if~operated properly, the system will accomplish, its intended purpose. As noted in the background section of this report, the Ali Poly ,.~ Drum facility is located on a corner lot. This does make them eligible fora special exception~of this type. ~ ,: Q,.
