MEMORANDUM FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Stephen Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator December 20, 1995 Conditional Use Permit by Straightline Excavation/Barton Sand and Gravel for Mineral Excavation CU 95-30/Public Hearing Background Mineral excavation activities began on the Elk River Landfill property back in 1972. Staff believes it was under a permit by Johnson Aggregate. Straightline Excavation has been mining in this area since 1986. Currently, Elk River Landfill, Inc., is the property owner; Barton Sand and Gravel holds a lease for mineral rights, and Straightline Excavation has been doing the mining as a subcontractor to Barton Sand and Gravel. As part of the city's Environmental Impact Statement on gravel mining, all of the active mining operations agreed to update their permits, if needed. This is the last site that needs to do so. The property involved is already zoned ME (Mineral Excavation Overlay District). Attachments 1. A vicinity map showing the location of the affected property. Straightline Excavation's application dated October, 1995. From this document staff did not copy the Council some of the figures, drawings, and appendices, which were other related permits. Once the conditional use permit is updated on this property, all appropriate local and state permits will be in place for this operation. Staff also did not include a detailed contour map that was submitted. There were not enough copies for all of the Council members and reproduction of this map would of been impossible.
