Cottage Grove,Wisconsin 53527 <br /> 608-255-9223 <br /> FAX:608-839-5936 <br /> December 3,2014 <br /> Dane County Planning and Development <br /> City-County Building, Room 116 <br /> 210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. <br /> Madison,WI 53709 <br /> Attn: Dan Everson,Zoning Inspector <br /> RE: Conditional Use Application for Mineral Extraction Site <br /> (i.e.Time extension for existing CUP#2136-Skaar Pit in Town of Cottage Grove) <br /> Dan: <br /> R.G. Huston Company, Inc. would like to apply for a time extension for our Skaar Pit- <br /> Mineral Extraction Site(Hwy 12/18 &Hwy N—Township of Cottage Grove). In doing so, we <br /> realize we need to apply for another CUP. <br /> The site is an existing sand and gravel mineral extraction operation currently permitted <br /> with CUP#2136 along with Reclamation Permit#51. The current reclamation plan calls for the <br /> site to be restored as agricultural land unless sold for commercial use. <br /> We are requesting the new CUP to allow for mining to be completed ten(10)years from <br /> approval date of this new CUP. Reclamation would then be completed within one(1)year after <br /> the mining completion date. <br /> We would propose to continue to operate under the same current(applicable)CUP <br /> conditions(see attached). The erosion control and storm water management plan is in place and <br /> working and would stay the same. The reclamation plan that was submitted and approved would <br /> not change either. <br /> We have included with this application letter the required Dane County Planning and <br /> Development Conditional Use Application form filled out along with the required legal <br /> description, scaled existing operations (site)map, scaled existing contour map,a scaled land use <br /> map,the Town of Cottage Grove current land use plan, the Town of Cottage Grove proposed <br /> land use plan, and a copy of the current reclamation plan sheet. <br /> There currently is still a viable source of material at this site. It makes good economic <br /> sense to keep this site permitted. It also makes sense for the County to permit us to continue to <br /> use an existing source that is already permitted and has the necessary improvements in place and <br /> is operating without daily public scrutiny which so many mineral extraction operations face these <br /> days. <br /> If any additional information is needed,please call our office. Thank you for your time <br /> and attention to this matter. <br /> Si rely, <br /> f 00, <br /> Dennis Richardson,PE <br /> Sr.Engineer/Safety Director/EEO-AA Officer <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
