Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 August 8, 2006 --------------------------- Mr. Barnhart explained that the Commission had three options; deny the request, table the request, or approve as an interim use with a specific end date. Chair Lemke asked the applicant if he was open to tabling the item in order to allow time to work out the issues. Mr. Quade replied he was agreeable to tabling. Commissioner Westgaard stated he agreed an interim use was appropriate. He stated he was not opposed to locating the asphalt plant within the quarry, but that a conditional use permit would allow the to run an asphalt anywhere on the 280 acres. Since the property was part Commercial Reserve and part Rural Residential, he was more in favor of denial. Commissioner Offerman stated that he agreed the use is a necessary enterprise, but that he also had concerns that cannot be addressed tonight. He also felt the request should be reviewed as an interim use. Chair Lemke stated that it appears there are problems with the existing mining operation. He stated he was not against the asphalt plant, but felt it should be a temporary use, not permanent. He felt that even if this request is tabled or withdrawn, the issues would still remain which were expressed by the residents.
