Taft Hill Road <br /> Fort Collins CO 80521 <br /> Re: Home Office Pit#Z-47-85 — Material conveyor across Taft Hill Road. <br /> Dear Ms. Mikulas: <br /> I have reviewed the limited file information for the sand and gravel mining/processing operations <br /> at the Home Pit and the other file information for the operations in this area. Based on this <br /> information and the four rationale you have provided it appears that a material conveyor is in fact <br /> the best solution for the continued mining of these properties. <br /> As you have noted this area has been an active mining area since the late 1960's and the current <br /> processing site and access point are well known, marked and recognized. Relocation of a haul <br /> truck or transport access would not be desirable. <br /> The use of conveyors is a reasonable and safe alternative. We have required their use for other <br /> aspects of mining operations in this immediate area. We would note that the use of dust and <br /> noise suppression at transfer points is important. <br /> Any conveyor installation shall be temporary and given the proposed location include berming to <br /> avoid noise conflicts. All installations in or adjacent to County Right of Ways shall be permitted <br /> and approved by the Larimer County Engineering and Road and Bridge Departments, meeting all <br /> standards and design requirements. <br /> Should y have any ques .ons or concerns, please contact me. <br /> A mea <br /> Cot Robert"Terry" Gi bert(ret.), AICP <br /> Community Development Director <br /> Xc: file <br />
