Public Hearing Case Page3 CU94-32 Continued • excavation overlay. Both of these parcels are zoned Al/Agricultural and account for only a small portion of Mr. Plaisted's boundary. 4. Access The final reclamation plan shows 3 proposed access points to the property. The first access point is on the east side of the site onto Highway 169, where there is a current access, and crossover between the northbound and southbound lanes of the Highway. The second access point is on the south side of the property onto County Road 33. This access will be used during the mining operations for the truck traffic to and from the pit. Staff is recommending that Mr. Plaisted's haul route is County Road 33 from the location of this access, to and from Highway 169, except for localized jobs. The last access point is on the north side of the property onto 213th Avenue. The County is exploring a possible east/west corridor that would run through approximately the center of Mr. Plaisted's property. This east/west corridor is identified on staffs attached map #2, by dashed lines, and is labeled "Old 33". Mr. Plaisted's contours adjacent to IllProctor Avenue would make this alignment difficult. The numbers on map #2 represent the locations of houses in or adjacent to Mr. Plaisted's site. House numbers 2 and 10 are owned by Mr. Plaisted and are proposed to be eliminated (their locations can be noted on the interim reclamation plan). If houses number 3 and 4 are eliminated in the future, Proctor Street and 213th Avenue between points A and B (shown on map 2) could be vacated by the County, accommodating the elevations needed to accomplish the County's proposed road corridor. If houses 3 and 4 remain where they are located, Proctor Street could be eliminated between point A and house 3 and still accomplish this road corridor. Bottom line, Dave Schwarting, County Engineer, indicated that Mr. Plaisted's proposal will not eliminate this corridor. 5. Slopes Mr. Plaisted is requesting 3:1 slopes on his reclamation plan versus the City's normal 4:1, or shallower. His rationale is that 4:1 slopes accommodate walk-out houses but do not readily accommodate the construction of industrial buildings. Mr. Plaisted's property is zoned II Industrial. Therefore, a 3:1 slope reduces the amount of property that cannot be re-developed after mining.
