(KLZA)-- On the recommendation of the Auburn Planning Commission, the Auburn City Council approved use of the former Burlington Northern Railroad right of way, on the south edge of Auburn, by Dettmer Farm Service to store empty anhydrous ammonia tanks.
Previously the company made an effort to utilize the property to build a storage facility but the project was stopped in court.
The Council voted unanimously to approve the storage of tanks with certain restrictions included.
In other business the Auburn Council approved a resolution directing nuisance abatement of 10 properties in Auburn by the property owners. This is the first step in getting the properties cleaned up.
The properties include:
2010 “P” Street;
2500 “P” Street;

On a related note, the Auburn Council approved a resolution for an In-Fill Housing Grant. Andy and Amy Behrends will receive a $10,000 grant to purchase an empty lot in Auburn on which they plan to relocate a ranch style home.
Mayor Kudrna also noted that members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Resident Inspectors group addressed the Council regarding the Cooper Nuclear Station near Brownville.
