ITEMS 5. 1. & 5.2. • ii City of ' Elk River MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Stephen Rohlf, Building and Environmental Administrator DATE: April 22, 2003 Sk SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Request by Roger Schmidt for Mineral Excavation—CU 03-02/P.H. and Associated Zone Change Request to Mineral Excavation Overlay Zoning District ZC 03-01/P.H. Roger Schmidt agreed to have his mining request tabled while he attempted to find alternative access to Elk River Bituminous for the product he proposes to mine from the IIIsite in question. Apparently he has been successful in negotiating an easement across property owned by Aggregate Industries, avoiding the issue of truck traffic from his mining operation using US Trunk Highway 169 as a haul road, which was the major concern during the Planning Commission's review of this request. With this issue resolved, the Schmidt mining request is back in front of the Planning Commission in the hope of reversing their recommendation of denial. A.
