STAFF UPDATE: Staff sent a letter to the applicant which identified neighborhood concerns. The applicant has <br /> addressed the concerns with the following: <br /> SAFETY: The neighbors were concerned with the safety of the site. The entire perimeter of the excavation site will be <br /> surrounded with a 4-foot tall fence. There is an entrance gate that is locked during off hours. The fence and gate <br /> should provide an adequate deterrent to the site. <br /> SCREENING: The neighbors were concerned with the visual impact of the site. The applicant will be constructing a <br /> berm along the east side of the excavation area. Given that the material is being extracted from west to east and the <br /> construction of a berm, the quarry will have minimal visual impact to the Brookstone neighborhood. See attached <br /> plan. <br /> BOUNDARY LIMITS: The neighbors were concerned with the operation continuing up to the borders of the <br /> Brookstone Neighborhood. The boundaries of the Conditional Use Permit were revised to reflect a 400-foot <br /> separation from the neighborhood. The fencing for the operation will be placed 1000 feet away from the <br /> neighborhood. <br /> RECLAMATION: The neighbors were concerned with the reclamation of the site. The operation has an approved <br /> reclamation plan on file. The plan shows that the area will be used for future residential and commercial development. <br /> Future development of the area will not begin until the aggregate source is exhausted. <br /> TIME LIMIT: There were concerns raised regarding the 25-year time limit for the operation. The Finks own all the <br /> property between County Highway ID and US 18/151. No further development will occur adjacent to the mineral <br /> extraction site until such time as the aggregate source is exhausted and the reclamation plan instituted. <br /> SEE ATTACHED SUGGESTED CONDITIONS <br />
