RESOLUTION EXPRESSING EDEN PRAIRIE'S OPPOSITION TO LOCATING
A. HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL WASTE DISPOSAL SITE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY
WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie did in 1968 adopt a comprehensive Guide Plan
for the community calling for planned residential, commercial, industrial, park
and other uses; and
WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie has attempted to implement this plan to the
greatest extent possible for the benefit and enjoyment of all residents of the
community today and in the future; and
WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie has invested great amounts of time and
money in insuring the health, safety, welfare and well being of the residents
of the community consistent with that 1968 Guide Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie has assumed more than it's share of obligation
for metropolitan facilities, including regional parks, a regional center, a sanitary
landfill site and other facilities and services of regional significance; and
• WHEREAS, the Federal Government is considering the establishment of a National
Wildlife and Recreation area along the Minnesota River as it transverses the south
boundary of the City of Eden Prairie; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Eden Prairie City Council does hereby express it's
opposition to the concept of a hazardous Chemical Waste Disposal facility being
located on a site within the City of Eden Prairie for the following reasons:
1. It is inconsistent with the City's overall comprehensive Guide Plan,
zoning ordinances and other land use regulations.
2. It will require an increase in traffic within the community which
existing and proposed road systems will not be capable of handling.
3. It will provide for adverse social impact on the community.
4. It is detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of the
community because of the unknown nature of such a facility and
its ability to be designed and constructed and operated in a safe
manner.
