CORRECTION
VI. NEW BUSINESS
D. Ordinances and Resolutions
1. 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.
