Burns Harbor seeks payment, monthly reports from KLLM as it works to reduce on-site containers
Loading...
Summary
Town staff told the board KLLM has been working to reduce stored containers from 461 and has paid $337,500 toward registration; the town set payment and reporting deadlines and warned fines or legal remedies if the company fails to comply.
Town staff updated the board on KLLM’s compliance with a storage-container variance and associated registration fees. According to staff, KLLM reported 461 containers on-site as of Aug. 15, 2025. The company has not yet reduced to the 200-or-fewer target, and staff said KLLM has paid $337,500 toward registration but still owes additional fees.
Staff told the board the town requested that KLLM pay the remaining balance (discussed as $12,500 in the meeting) by Sept. 30 and provide a monthly update on the number of containers on-site by Sept. 30, Oct. 31, Nov. 30 and Dec. 31 for the remainder of the year, with details about whether stacks exceed two high. Staff warned that failure to provide payment or updates would leave the town to impose fines or pursue legal remedies under town code and the granted variance.
Board members asked for verification steps: staff said counts were being reported by the company’s staff to its attorney and recommended having the town’s building commissioner or staff verify counts in the field. The board directed staff to follow up on payments and have an inspector confirm the current stacking configuration before moving to citation or enforcement.
