<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Changes to the language in CAMAS' CUP <br />The following are the specific changes to CAMAS' CUP in the order they appear (added <br />language is in bold type and language to be deleted is underlined): <br />. Shiely Company is to be replaced with CAMAS Minnesota, Inc.; <br />. the anticipated approval of CAMAS' current amendment request has been referenced <br />. under condition (09) "Reclamation", language regarding a $5,000 bond is obsolete <br />and the pines referenced have been planted, so these sections are proposed to be <br />deleted; <br />. condition (12) "Hours of Operation" has been modified; <br />. two changes are proposed to condition (18) "Groundwater protection measures", <br />under "f' of that condition, language to clarify that testing for diesel range organics is <br />to take place each year, if mining is to occur below the groundwater table, is proposed <br />to be added and under "g", language referencing initial water level testing is proposed <br />to be deleted, since it has already taken place; and <br />. condition (21) "Other Permits", which is now typical language for a mineral <br />excavation CUP, is proposed to be added. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />The precedence for allowing mining activities outside of the normal hours of7:00 a.m. to <br />7:00 p.m. has been set by the city with other operations. Staff feels there is no reason not <br />to allow CAMAS' request, if they can operate in such a fashion that it is not an <br />annoyance to anyone. Further, the proposed changes to CAMAS' CUP are adequate to <br />address the situation, if activities during the extended hours do result in problems that can <br />not be resolved. <br /> <br />As a test, city staff has allowed CAMAS to operate under the proposed hours for a total <br />of seven days during August of this year. The neighbors immediately surrounding the <br />mine were notified of these extended hours, but not what days on which they would take <br />place. These neighbors were encouraged to call either the city or CAMAS or both, if the <br />extended hours were an annoyance. None of these immediate neighbors called or came to <br />the Planning Commission meeting to voice concerns. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission and staff are recommending approval of CAMAS' <br />request for extended hours with the changes to their CUP referenced in this memo. <br /> <br />s:\b&z\stever\camascup.doc <br />
