P&Z Members Present: Chair: Joyce Cardon Commissioners: Daniel Arnold Shay Davis Clint Freeman Kristin Langenfeld Cheryl Ragsdale Cody Waldroup Del Washburn (Alt) P&Z Members Absent: Commissioner: Rory Jaques Paul Thompson Staff Present: Julie Baird Jennifer Breakell Mary Holton Cynthia Lopez Dee Dee Moore Others Who Addressed the Tyson Quail Commission: Patricia Simpson Via Teleconference Manufacturer– Wayne Jenkins Call to Order Due to electronic difficulties, the meeting was called to order at 3:13 p.m. by Chair Cardon. There being a quorum present the following proceedings were duly had and taken. Presentation of the Agenda There were no changes to the agenda. Approval of the Minutes A motion was made by Commissioner Ragsdale and seconded by Commissioner Freeman to approve the minutes of the May 15, 2014 P&Z Meeting with the correction of Commissioner Waldroup’s name being changed from Carl to Cody. This motion was approved unanimously by an 8-0 vote. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PETITION REPORT SUP 14-05 – 6917 E. Main Street Memory Gardens 21 Planning and Zoning Commission Discussion of SUP 14-05 on May 29, 2014 Chair Cardon explained that the hearing was recessed at the April 24, 2014, Planning and Zoning meeting so that the Commission could talk with the crematorium’s manufacturer and would continue from that point in the process. The public hearing had been closed and the Commissioners discussion was in progress. The Commission requested that the property owner call the manufacturer and Chair Cardon asked for that information to be presented. Attorney Patricia Simpson of 500 W. Main Street, Suite 200, spoke on behalf of the property owner explaining that the manufacturer did complete an inspection, made minor adjustments to the equipment and provided additional training to the crematorium staff on May 14, 2014. She stated that she had provided the Community Development Office a copy of those findings. She added that the manufacturers representative was present for two cremations, as well as, the operator. The manufacturers’ representative tried, during the 2nd cremation to aggressively cause it to flame or smoke. He provided guidance to the operator in how to minimize smoke and to override the system to address situations more quickly. Attorney Simpson stated that the manufacturer is not present but is available to provide testimony by teleconferencing. The Commissioners advised that they would like to speak with the manufacturer via telephone. Commissioner Freeman asked if the manufacturer had reviewed the videos. Attorney Simpson stated that she had provided the manufacturer copies of the tape and that he did not express any shock, outrage or concern about the content. Commissioner Freeman asked if this was the standard process for the equipment. Attorney Simpson stated that there were adjustments made to the equipment, but the manufacturer could better answer that question. Chair Cardon advised that the following proceeding would be held as a quasi-judicial meeting and provided a brief explanation of how the meeting would be run. Anyone present wishing to speak on behalf of this petition, including Mr. Wayne Jenkins of Matthews International, Cremation Division, via telephone were sworn in by Secretary Dee Dee Moore. Chair Cardon addressed Mr. Jenkins and stated that the commissioners had questions about the manufacturer, equipment and training. Commissioner Freeman asked if he had reviewed the videos that were presented at the April 24, 2014 Planning & Zoning Meeting. Mr. Jenkins stated yes, he had reviewed them. Commissioner Freeman asked if the smoke and fire are normal operations for his company’s equipment. Mr. Jenkins stated no, their equipment is set up to not omit any visual emissions or odors, and at the 5/14/14 review it was determined that there were a few opportunities to work with the operator. Commissioner Freeman asked for details regarding the 5/14/14 visit to Serenity Gardens at 6917 E. Main Street. Mr. Jenkins stated that his technician Jeff, visited the facilities and checked the equipment. The air and fuel ratios were evaluated to make sure they were correct. If there is nothing mechanically wrong then it could be that the unit was being loaded before the pre-heat was done, which could cause the container to ignite from the after-burning chamber and can cause smoke. Chair Cardon asked if he feels the incorrect loading is just a technicality. Mr. Jenkins stated yes. He added that the technician trained the operator how to adjust the unit as needed. He stated that the 22 equipment was in good condition, it was very clean and well maintained. Mr. Jenkins also informed the Commission that there is technical support available 24/7 if there is an issue with the equipment. Commissioner Davis asked about the evidence of extended smoke from the equipment. Mr. Jenkins stated that sometimes there is an initial puff of smoke, when the chest cavity opens, and depending on the body type and size of the body. When that happens, the operator must be aware and know what changes to make to eliminate that smoke. Mr. Jenkins stated that the operator had been used to an older type of unit that did not have an after-burning chamber, which directs the gas and heat back through the equipment. If the after-burning chamber gets overwhelmed than you will see smoke. The technician trained the operator on how to make proper adjustments when this happens. Chair Cardon asked how the operator could see the smoke if they do not leave the equipment during the process, how can the operator tell if there is smoke, and be able to control the smoke. Mr. Jenkins stated the he could tell by the temperature on the unit, use more air to slow down the heat, because if there is more heat there is more chance of smoke. Commissioner Arnold stated that in a previous report the size of the body, in excess of 400 pounds was the cause of the smoke, and asked if this was a true statement. Mr. Jenkins explained that in a situation with an obese body it should be the first cremation in a cold unit, pre-heat to a certain temperature, load head first versus feet first and that, the operator should slowly allow unit to heat. He added that all units are certified and he has seen a body of almost 1,000 pounds cremated without smoke. Chair Cardon asked if the operation was managing the equipment correctly at that time. Mr. Jenkins stated yes and added that there is a system, the Empire System, which can be put on the unit that will help with these issues of inexperience, computer-based systems, which allows the manufacturer to monitor the equipment more efficiently. Chair Cardon asked if this equipment had that system installed on it. Mr. Jenkins stated not at this time and there would be a cost to owner. Commissioner Freeman asked what Matthews Manufacturer training the operator had prior to May 14, 2014. Mr. Jenkins stated that when the equipment is installed the manufacturers’ technician makes sure that the gas and the electrical are correctly hooked up, and than for about a day and a half the technician works with the operator/owner over the equipment operations. Commissioner Freeman asked who was in this training at the installation. Mr. Jenkins stated that their technician, John Jones, was at the installation. Because the company’s regular working hours of the office are currently closed (5:40pm EST), he does not have the list of trainees. Commissioner Freeman asked how much training is recommended by Matthews for the equipment. Mr. Jenkins stated that there is not a manufacturer recommendation for training, but that most states have some type of certification course that is updated every five years. Mr. Jenkins stated that there are organizations out there, such as: Cremation Association of North America (CANA), National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) that have different seminars and that local areas usually have their own association. He thought that New Mexico does have its own organization. Commissioner Waldroup asked how harmful the smoke is when equipment is overloaded. Mr. Jenkins stated that there have been extensive studies and that the emissions that come from a crematorium are less than a restaurant or a car at 0.3 emissions. He added that CANA also has completed studies. He added that the emissions standards are set by the Environmental Protection Agency and that most states also have an air quality standard that tests the 23 emissions from the stacks. Mr. Jenkins stated he was not sure if New Mexico had that standard in place. Commissioner Ragsdale asked for an explanation as to why there is an odor associated with this location. Mr. Jenkins stated there can be several factors that can cause odors. How the body has been processed for cremation, such as if it has been embalmed or not. There are state and local regulations that set requirements such as 48 hours or 72 hours, and if it is 72 hours the bodies have to be embalmed. Chair Cardon asked if the high quality standards are in place, what do the neighbors smell, and is it relative to what is being cremated with the body, or the body itself. Mr. Jenkins stated that the equipment does not emit smoke, but what is with the body can smoke, and that he believes the smell comes from the body being over-embalmed. Chair Cardon asked if there was additional equipment that could be added to eliminate the smell. Mr. Jenkins stated there is no filtration system on the equipment. Commissioner Freeman stated that prior testimony identified the smell as pungent or sulpher-like. Mr. Jenkins stated what the neighbors considered pungent may not smell that way to other people. He added that when people report an odor that 90% of the time it is usually the items that are with the body, not the body itself. Commissioner Langenfeld asked about the flames that were seen in the videos presented at the April 24, 2014 Planning and Zoning Meeting. Mr. Jenkins stated that if flame is visible, that the equipment can be easily adjusted to calibrate the air and gas ratio. Commissioner Langenfeld asked if the same factors to mitigate the smoke could be used to mitigate the flames. Mr. Jenkins answer yes, the operator can make the adjustment. Chair Cardon asked if the add-ons to this equipment could control or alleviate the smoke by the operator’s intervention. Mr. Jenkins stated that the equipment will try to make the adjustment and an alarm will sound to alert the operator. Commissioner Langenfeld asked if these problems could be monitored by the equipment and then the operator could make additional adjustments. Mr. Jenkins stated that yes, if a spike in temperature, if the system is overwhelmed, the unit will start to make its own adjustments, like if the smoke is at 0.2, which is barely visible, the alarm will be set off and the unit will start to make adjustments. Commissioner Washburn stated that the commission was told that at 1500 degrees that everything would be gone, no smoke, no odor and everything would dissipate. Now almost a block away there is odor and he feels disappointed that it isn’t true and the Commission was told it is all taken care of. Mr. Jenkins stated that he understood the concerns today and feels the issues are caused when the system is overwhelmed. He added that in a normal process all the particulates are burned off and that the gases escape through the stack. He believes the smell is based on how the body is processed at the funeral home. Commissioner Waldroup asked how you know some of the smell is not from the body. Mr. Jenkins stated that after years of operation, since the early 1950’s, studies have proven that the equipment does not emit smoke, but the bodies can cause smoke. Commissioner Davis asked if the manufacturer can say with confidence that there will be no odor or smoke. Mr. Jenkins stated that everything is done by the manufacturer to prevent smoke and odor, but that he can’t guarantee that there will not be smoke or odor. He stated that through training the operators do the best job they can. The operators have no control over the way the bodies are processed but have to rely on the 24 temperature of the equipment. He stated that he has seen 400 pound bodies cremated with no issues and 100 pound bodies that have issues. Commissioner Ragsdale asked if the extra equipment previously mentioned were added to this unit would it help these issues. Mr. Jenkins stated that if something broke they would be notified and that even with the Empire System there may still be smoke. Commissioner Freeman asked if the manufacturer ranks the operator’s skills and knowledge. Mr. Jenkins stated no, but they do watch the operator and make sure that the utmost care is given to the deceased, and if there are equipment issues they are addressed at that time. The manufacturer recommends that the unit is inspected once a year and would also provide additional training at that time if they saw something that needed to be corrected. Mr. Jenkins stated that their technicians do not close a blind eye to the standards required of their industry. Commissioner Arnold asked if the re-calibration of the equipment should correct the issues and how much the Empire System would cost the owner. Mr. Jenkins stated that the cost of the add-on in approximately $20,000 with tax and freight and also has a monitoring and adjustment fee of $1,700 per year. General Services Director Julie Baird, representing the petitioner, asked if the size and height of the stack is appropriate for this equipment. Mr. Jenkins stated if does have the proper stack height which is required to extend 3-feet above the height of the facilities. Director Baird asked what the average number of cremations per day is and also the length of time per cremation. Mr. Jenkins stated that the first body will take longer because of the way the unit is designed. He added that 4-5 bodies within a 10-12 hours timeframe is an average, or about 2 to 2½ hours per body. Director Baird asked if there was on-going training, such as CEU credit courses. Mr. Jenkins stated that their company does have training, there are national conventions about 2-3 times a year, and on-line classes available as well. Director Baird asked if the operators in this facility are up-to-date with their training. Mr. Jenkins stated he had not pulled the records for this equipment, but that the training is maintained through the certification process. Director Baird asked how often the certification was, such as every 3 or 5 years. Mr. Jenkins stated that the certification is good for 5 years. Attorney Simpson stated that city staff was recommending quarterly inspections for this equipment and asked if he could see any benefit to that recommendation. Mr. Jenkins stated that, in his opinion, it is overkill and would be an unneeded cost for the owner. He added that studies indicate that twice a year is sufficient, or every 18 months if there are less than 150 cremations a year. If more than 300 cremations take place that at least every year. He added that the equipment would still need to be calibrated to make sure it is operating properly by the owner/operator. Attorney Simpson asked if the training certification should also be updated quarterly. Mr. Jenkins also felt that this would be overkill, since there is only so much training through a book, much of the training is through operating the equipment. There is insurance on the unit to help the owner/operator if something should break on the equipment. Attorney Simpson asked if there was a maintenance schedule for the operator to follow and if the operator is trained to perform the maintenance. Mr. Jenkins stated that the maintenance is mainly housecleaning rather then technical. He identified that the glass 25 can be cleaned and wiped down, replacing spark plugs, and that every 12-18 months the manufacturer could visit to make sure everything is still is good working condition. Attorney Tyson Quail of 4000 E 30th Street, attorney for Russell and Lora Hodges, asked about the self-adjusting system to detect the smoke or flames. Mr. Jenkins stated that there is a pollution control system on the stack. Attorney Quail asked how long before the system starts to adjust itself. Mr. Jenkins stated that if the system detects smoke, it shuts down and if the operator doesn’t introduce more air, it would have to smoke itself out. Attorney Quail asked Mr. Jenkins what he thought if after May 14, 2014 the same amount and length of time of the smoke remained as it was prior to May 14, 2014 and as current as May 28, 2014. Mr. Jenkins stated that he would find that shocking. He stated that it falls back onto taking a look at the bodies, the containers, and what was included with them to cause the smoking issues. There was no further discussion with the manufacturer and the teleconference call was ended. The public hearing was closed for the Commission’s discussion. At this time Chair Cardon reminded the Commission of the 5 items that staff was recommending as stated on page 14 of the April 24, 2014 agenda. Commissioner Langenfeld stated that she was confused because these recommendations came to the commission after the use began and that the information presented doesn’t appear to have much that is going to work on the issues. She added that she needs better information or better ideas on how to move forward with this and that it is not what she would recommend at this time. There was no further discussion among the commissioners. Commissioner Freeman made a motion for SUP 14-05 to that the Commission recommends revoking SUP 12-06 for the crematorium use. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Washburn. Planning and Zoning Commission Action of SUP 14-05 on May 15, 2014 A motion was made by Commissioner Freeman, seconded by Commissioner Washburn for SUP 14-05 that the Commission recommends revoking SUP 12-06, a request from Robert Campbell to reconsider the crematorium use at Memory Gardens in the SF-7 Residential District located at 6917 E. Main Street. AYE: Chair Cardon, Commissioners Arnold, Davis, Freeman, Langenfeld, Ragsdale, Waldroup, and Washburn (Alt) NAY: None ABSTAINED: None ABSENT: Commissioners Jaques and Thompson Motion passed 8-0 Each commissioner stated the reason for their vote. Commissioner Freeman stated he voted to revoke SUP 12-06. He felt that the information when the original special use permit was approved was based on the fact 26 that there would be no smoke and no odor. He added that this has not been the case and he doesn’t feel this is the ideal spot for the crematorium. Commissioner Davis stated he voted to revoke SUP 12-06. He agreed with Commissioner Freeman specifically with Section 8.9.4, part B; Compatible with surrounding area: the proposed site plan, circulation plan, and schematic architectural designs shall be harmonious with the character, etc. He stated part C, External impacts minimized: The proposed use shall not have negative impacts on existing uses in the area and in the city through the creation of noise, glare, fumes, dust smoke, vibration, fire hazard, etc. He stated that without the property owners being able to guarantee, as they did when the special use permit was initially approved, that the neighbors would not know the crematory was in operations, that was why he voted as he did. Commissioner Waldroup stated he voted to revoke SUP 12-06. He also felt the same as Commissioners Freeman and Davis. Chair Cardon stated she voted to revoke SUP 12-06. She felt that the new documentation didn’t show that the owner would be willing to add-on any equipment in a show of goodwill. She also agreed with Commissioner Freeman, Davis and Waldroup. Commissioner Ragsdale stated she voted to revoke SUP 12-06. She felt that the commission was told there would be no smoke or odor. She stated that she is okay with the flames. Commissioner Langenfeld stated she voted to revoke SUP 12-06. She felt that the owner could not meet the special use review criteria regarding the effect on the environment and external conditions could not be minimized. She felt that there was not a way, in this situation, to minimize the impact to the neighborhood. Commissioner Arnold stated he voted to revoke SUP 12-06. He had difficulty melding staff’s recommendations and the manufacturer’s testimony today with an action plan for the future. Senior Planner Cynthia Lopez arrived at this time. Presentation of the Findings by the Consultant Regarding the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Master Plan by PRCA Director Cory Styron Director Styron presented a brief overview of the PRCA Master Plan that will come before the Commission again, in a special meeting on June 17, 2014, and eventually for a recommendation for approval to be adopted as part of the City of Farmington’s Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Davis asked if the Commission would receive the information to be reviewed before the special meeting. Commissioner Arnold asked about securing right-of-way. Director Styron stated he would try to provide the information to the Community Development at least a week before the June 17, 2014 meeting. He added that there are on-going discussions with land owners, especially along the river for the City to secure ROW. Business from the Floor: There was no business from the Floor. Business from the Chair: There was no business from the Chair. Business from Members: There was no business from the Members. 27 Business from Staff: Director Holton informed the commission that the consultant for the PRCA Master would be at the June 17, 2014 special meeting to present and that July 10 is the day currently targeted for their consideration to adopt the plan as an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. She added that CDBG is currently preparing the Consolidated Plan and that the MPO is working on the Major Transportation Plan. The update to the Comprehensive Plan is to begin this Fall. Director Holton stated that the MPO would like to present on Complete Streets to the Commission and that it would be at a regularly scheduled Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. Director Holton stated that both of the petitions for chickens were approved by City Council with a new coop location on Tee Drive being worked out with the neighbor. The petition for Dirt Bandit was approved on the City Council consent agenda. The zone change for 2007 Brothers was withdrawn by the petitioner so she could consider other options. The other zone change was tabled until June 24, 2014 so the petitioner could work on a Planned Development (PD) so that what is proposed for that property would be binding. The annexation of approximately 888 acres was also approved and finalized by City Council. Commissioner Arnold asked if Ms. Hernandez would be returning to the P&Z Commission with the PD. Director Holton stated that at this point, no, but that it could come back through this commission and that staff is working with her. Adjournment The Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of May 29, 2014, was adjourned at 5:11 p.m. __________________________ ____________________________ Joyce Cardon Dee Dee Moore Chair Office Manager 28
