<br />Public Hearing Case <br />CU94-32 Continued <br /> <br />Page5 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />water level. Mr. Plaisted indicated that he would do this after the <br />mining activities and his reclamation has been completed. <br /> <br />8. <br /> <br />Hours of Operation/Noise <br /> <br />Mr. Plaisted's main operation is excavation and washing of sand and <br />gravel. However, he does have a private contractor that comes in and <br />crushes gravel for approximately 10 to 15 days per year. <br /> <br />Mr. Plaisted has been mining in this area since 1961. He periodically <br />does certain aspects of his operation beyond the 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. <br />hours that typically restrict this type of operation. Staff has never <br />received a complaint regarding noise associated with Mr. Plaisted's <br />operation and he has indicated that he has not received any <br />personally. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Plaisted is requesting extended hours of operation. Staff feels that <br />because of his history, it may be a legitimate request. However, if <br />extended hours are granted, Mr. Plaisted would have to respond to <br />legitimate complaints by the positioning of his crushing and washing <br />equipment and curtailing his operations to the normal hours, if <br />necessary. State noise levels must be adhered to at all times during <br />this operation. <br /> <br />9. <br /> <br />Trees <br /> <br />Mr. Plaisted's site is barren of woods with the exception of the very far <br />eastern side. As previously indicated, Mr. Plaisted's property is zoned <br />industrial. He would like to landscape, with trees, as his property is <br />redeveloped to an industrial use. <br /> <br />In order to screen his mining operation from Highway 169 as long as <br />possible, he is proposing the wooded area on the east side of his <br />property be the last phase. However, he is proposing to cut an <br />approximately 100 foot wide strip of these trees in order to <br />accommodate one, or possibly two, billboards. <br /> <br />10. Fencing <br /> <br />Mr. Plaisted is not proposing fencing around his property; but rather, <br />warning signs every 100 feet. His rationale is that residential uses <br />adjacent to him are limited with Shiely's mining to the west and <br />Northern Con-Agg mining to the north. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />cc-94-32/council <br />
