JAN 2 2 2009 Memo To: Mark Sokolow, City Attorney /t~~f ~/ From: Lawrence Baker, Director of Inspections. lab=1/ ;- Date:January 22,_2009 Re: Triangle Waste Facility at 2340 S. Gulfway Drive I inspected the scrape iron operation for Triangle Waste today.. The facility has a metal fence in the front of the business. It does not encompass the entire facility as required by our new scrape iron ordinance. I am submitting copies of photographs taken today .of that.. fence. The owners will have to complete installation of the required fencing in order to comply wits. our current ordinance. Once that is done they will be `in compliance and therefore qualify for a permit from the City to operate at that site. Since no office building is located at this site they will not need a Certificate of Occupancy. 1 - •11 ~ f \ ter' ~. .~ fl{,~ -i1 ~~i~'ufl J'~ t, ~~~ ~~ya~l.wy~a~.~ ~ -f~ ~ ...~y'~ .tom w ~ . r Y ~i -a f'~- .. ~~ ~ ' l ~~r~ .'; :er . _ r' EXHIBIT "B" TO THE RESOLUTION a ^ interoffice ~ „~y MEMORANDUM To: Mark Sokolow, City Attorney From: ; Raymond E. Clark, Deputy Chief of Police Date: January 22, 2009 Subject: Inspection of Triangle-Waste Solutions Greg Gabriel, Manager Pursuant to Ordinance 07-81, Metal Recycling Facilities, an inspection was performed. One inspection was conducted at the 5300 Block of South Gulfway.. This facility contained certain nonferrous materials. From their appearance these materials were .attained- from industrial sources. The material was categorically separated and placed in rows or piles throughout the property. The property was partially enclosed- by an eight -foot metal fence. The fence covers only the front portion of the property. The sides and back are open. There are materials that protrude above the eight foot height of the fence. Metals also extend beyond the front of the fence to the sides. There were no buildings observed on the property. There is no electrical or water service. connected to the property. The manager maintains several fire extinguishers on the property. A records inspection was conducted at 1000 South Business Park Drive. Documentation appeared in order which included the recording of who the scrap, used and recycled metal was purchased from. Provided also was a list of operational vehicles and related documents. All necessary records, equipment and documents, including application, were-made available for inspection. The manager provided a diagram of the existing gravel yard on State-87 and improvements that are planned. It appears that the business needs to make the following corrections to comply with Ordinance 07-81. • Metals should not protrude above the height of the fence. • The fence should be completed to encompass the .facility. • Materials protruding outside of the facility should. be placed iriside.
