COMPOSITE REPORT-Page 4 CUP No. 1405 III. SUMMARY A. The main issues surrounding this proposed CUP relate to its potential impacts on surface and ground water, surrounding residential properties, and nearby roads. B. The ZNR Committee may wish to defer action on this request until remaining issues can be resolved and appropriate conditions developed. The following issues may form the basis for discussions with the applicant and conditions of approval. 1. The applicant will have to apply for and receive a special exception permit from the Board of Adjustment for earthmoving activities in the shoreland area. An erosion control plan may have to be submitted in this process. 2. All town conditions should be incorporated into CUP approval. 3. The proposed berm south of the subject property should be designed to block visibility from nearby residential properties along Nora Road. If the proposed use would be visible from the new house to the northwest, berming or landscaping should be included in this area as well. 4. More detailed plans for dust and noise mitigation should be considered, particularly given the potential use of a crushing plant. Alternatively, the ZNR Committee could consider allowing use of a crushing plant if the applicant later applied for and received approval of a CUP amendment. 5. Hours of operation should be reevaluated given nearby residences. Specifically, a later weekday start time should be considered. 6. A timetable should be developed for both the completion of operations and reclamation. That timetable could form the basis for the ZNR Committee establishing a maximum time period in which the CUP would be valid, and the site restored. 7. The applicant should consider phasing operations and reclamation so that a minimum amount of area is open at one time. Reclamation should be consistent with both the submitted plan map and written summary. 8. The ZNR Committee should consider requiring that the applicant improve the intersection of CTH N and Nora Road, if such improvement becomes necessary as a result of the proposed use. 9. The "site initiation plan" should be revised to show(a)the location of the new house to the northwest; (b)the location of the intermittent stream/drainage ditch and floodplain boundaries; (c)the locations and type of surfacing of all proposed driveways; (d)the surface water drainage pond proposed by the applicant in written materials; (e)the "landscaped buffer" also proposed; (f)berming and/or landscaping to screen the operation from all nearby residences; (g) the type of fencing proposed; (g) the locations for operation and storage of all machinery, structures, and equipment; and (g) phasing of the operation as appropriate. 10. The potential impact on the groundwater supply of operating and storing equipment below the groundwater level should be explored. 11. Staff should research other conditions imposed on recent mineral extraction operations to assure that a consistent set of conditions is required.
