ATTACHMENTS <br /> • • Vicinity map <br /> • Site plan <br /> • Cover letter from Bauerly Bros. <br /> • Letter from adjacent property owner, Jeff Lawson <br /> • Letter from Barr Engineering regarding wetlands, with attached aerial <br /> photo <br /> • Draft conditional use permit <br /> NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS <br /> City staff facilitated a meeting between Bauerly Bros. and the neighbors <br /> adjoining the proposed pit on March 5, 1997. The neighbors had the typical <br /> concerns with dust, noise, etc. The conditions proposed by staff to address <br /> these concerns seemed agreeable to those at this meeting. The neighbors <br /> where also in agreement to allow Bauerly Bros. a chance to see if they could <br /> crush gravel 24 hour a day and not be an intrusion to the neighborhood. <br /> Bauerly Bros. had a further meeting with Jeff Lawson, who is the closest <br /> neighbor to the proposed haul road. This haul road is proposed to be in the <br /> location indicated on the attached site plan for the life of the pit. A letter <br /> from Mr. Lawson is attached. <br /> Staff received additional comments from a neighboring resident who was not <br /> at the staff facilitated meeting. This resident was not against mining ori this <br /> property, but strongly recommended that berms be placed adjacent to 225th <br /> Avenue and that this road be tarred by Bauerly Bros. to hold dust down and <br /> for safety sake. Bauerly Bros. will be prepared to address this issue at your <br /> meeting. Staff also ask the city engineer to review the safety issue on 225th <br /> Avenue. <br /> GROUND WATER <br /> In the mineral excavation EIS ground water levels under this site have been <br /> estimated between 943 feet and 945 feet above mean sea level. Bauerly Bros. <br /> are proposing to mine to an elevation of 947. <br /> Mining can take place below ground water, but concerns for protecting it <br /> increase. Staff is recommending Bauerly Bros. are a minimum of three feet <br /> above ground water with their mining operation. <br /> With this as a condition ground water monitoring is probably not necessary <br /> unless some problem arises. Bauerly Bros. are not proposing a wash <br /> operation at this site. Further, a spill can be detected and clean up prior to <br /> • affecting the ground water. Major equipment repair is not proposed on this <br /> \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\b&z\stever\baurcup.doc <br />
