The original CUP allowed mining operations and a hot mix plant north of 221", and restricted the hours, among other conditions. Planning Commission One commissioner wanted to know if residential wells in the area would be affected by this proposal. Staff indicated that they are clear of the utilities Drinking Water Supply Management Areas (DWSMA). The applicant clarified that they are not proposing to mine below the water table,but that other mines in the area are actively mining below the water table with no concerns. The applicant asked if the setback requirement for the west property line could be removed from condition #5. The commission had no issue with that request. Other than the applicant,no spoke at the public hearing for or against the proposal. The Planning Commission had no concerns with the requested proposal and unanimously recommended approval.
