Describe current and recent past land use and development on the site and on adjacent lands. Discuss project compatibility with adjacent and nearby land uses. Indicate whether any potential conflicts involve environmental matters. Identify any potential environmental hazards due to past site uses, such as soil contamination or abandoned storage tanks, or proximity to nearby hazardous liquid or gas pipelines. The current and recent past land use at the site is brush/grassland/woodland. The site is currently zoned Single Family Residential (R1a). The portion of the site to be mined is located in a rural residential future land use category. The southern portion of the site, which is not to be mined, is located in an open space future land use category. The future land use category map for the City of Elk River indicates that the portion of the site proposed to be mined lies within the Mineral Extraction Overlay District as defined by the City of Elk River (Figure 5). The land use map was adopted on August 16, 2004 as part of the Comprehensive Plan Update. The map guides the current and future land uses of the city through the year 2025. The land use map provides the foundation for the zoning of parcels within the city. Rezoning of the subject parcel to Mineral Extraction Overlay District, consistent with the future land use map, will be required as part of the project approvals. Land use surrounding the site is residential single family housing to the south and east of the subject parcel. Aggregate mining occupies the adjacent property to the west, north and northeast of the subject parcel. There is a high pressure natural gas pipeline within the Proctor Road right-of-way. The gas line is located along the east side of the right-of-way and will not be impacted by the proposed project. The pipeline is owned and operated by CenterPoint Energy.
