• • 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 • under condition(09) "Reclamation", language regarding a$5,000 bond is obsolete 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"1"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 /> Recommendation <br /> The precedence for allowing mining activities outside of the normal hours of 7:00 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. Staff is recommending approval of CAMAS' request for extended <br /> hours. <br /> By the time of the Planning Commission public hearing on this issue, the city should <br /> have a good idea of whether or not the extended hours unreasonably annoy anyone. As a <br /> test, city staff has allowed CAMAS to operate under the proposed hours for a total of <br /> seven days during August of this year. <br /> • <br /> f:\shrdoc\b&z\stever\camascup.doc <br />
