Rationale for Recommendation to Approve 25
<br /> September 29, 2016
<br /> comment period was opened for property owners in the Eagles Nest and Bauer Ranch subdivisions,
<br /> commencing on the date of the Applicant's notice, June 16, 2016, and closing on July 08, 2016, a total of
<br /> 22 days.
<br /> The Division determined the Applicant complied with the notice requirements of the Act and Rules. With
<br /> the extensions to the application decision date and associated rescheduling of the formal Board hearing to
<br /> the October 26-27, 2016 Board meeting, an individual who first learned of the application from the public
<br /> notice signs will have had 250 days to review the application, consult with experts, and/or conduct
<br /> research.
<br /> 19. Concerns regarding impacts to Hwy 115/traffic and safety (windshield damage from rocks;
<br /> increased wear and tear on road— will require additional taxes to maintain and repair; will add about
<br /> 650 truck movements per day; dangerous haul truck traffic; not enough room on road; two-lane
<br /> sections dangerous; already haul truck traffic from existing quarries; want a Hwy upgrade fee and
<br /> Hwy use tax for quarries; safety hazards accessing site; detrimental to safety of bicyclists and motor
<br /> bikers who frequently use Hwy 115; why should Colorado taxpayers pay for Chicago owners to make
<br /> profits to repair road damage; trucks will have to travel over several older bridges that may not be
<br /> capable of handling additional truck traffic)

<br /> The Act and Rules do not specifically address traffic or traffic safety for roads located off-site from a
<br /> mining operation. Such issues are under the jurisdiction of El Paso County and the Colorado Department
<br /> of Transportation (CDOT). These issues should be addressed through the permitting processes of El Paso
<br /> County and CDOT.
<br /> Pursuant to Rule 6.4.13, the application affirmatively states that the proposed mine operation will obtain
<br /> a Special Use Permit and Construction Permits from El Paso County and a Hwy 115 Access Permit from
<br /> CDOT.
<br /> 20. Concerns regarding adverse impact to property values,quality of life,and destruction of visually
<br /> appealing and natural landscape.
