Ordinance 3884 - Don Small & Son Conditional Use Permit Amendment. Correction to minutes to include Ron Craig's statement in its entirety. Ron Craig read a statement to the Council: " My Fellow Council Members - I would like to make a formal statement on the Don Samll Conditional Use Permit and make this statement a matter of public record for this meeting. After careful study, I have concluded that the Don Small C.U.P. represents an unacceptable risk to the public and is not in accordance with our comprehensive plan. The risk associated with this C.U.P. is one of fire and/or explosion which could be propagated to a chemical pro- cessing plant, a chlorine storage tank and a hospital all of which are within the spill danger zone of the C.U.P. area. This danger zone is associated with a fuel spill from a tanker truck not the storage tanks. The issue of the storage tanks being above or below ground does not eliminate the risk. Elimination of the risk would involve moving the fuel/de-fuel facility to an area which, in the event of a spill, would not endanger other areas. In other words, it would have to be isolated from other areas. If the Council approves this C.U.P., then surely there would be future requests to add more storage and further expand the fuel farm. In looking at the future growth of the city, it is not safe or good planning to have a fuel farm in the middle of the city. ' Disapproval of this request now would surely force the relocation of the fuel farm to a safe area. I am sure all of you would agree with me now that if there was not an existing facility there and the request was to establish a new facility that we would certainly not grant the request because of the serious safety problems encountered with this type of facility in an unisolated area. Therefore, it does not make any sense to me to allow expansion of this facility on the sole premise that the facility is already in existance. I would encourage the council members to deny this C.U.P. -5- AUBURN COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE THREE JUNE 20, 1983 IV. Consent Agenda (Cont.)
