The Authority notes its concerns would be a part of any Site or Building permit reviews. These generally address fire access to and around structures and emergency site access. 8.1.5 Road Capacity and Level of Service Standards: The issues of access point and ROW have been reviewed and addressed by the Engineering Department. The applicant's proposal to construct a center auxiliary lane and improve the roadway width have been addressed by the Engineering Department and the Board finds these proposals to be adequate for the proposed mining and batch plant uses. Section 8.2 Wetland Areas: County Maps do not show any significant wetlands on site. Section 8.3 Hazard Areas: County Maps show the site as having no Geologic Hazards. Section 8.4 Wildlife: The State Division of Wildlife(DOW) and the staff Environmental Planner have evaluated the plan for the site and use and no conflicts have been identified. Section 8.5 Landscaping: The proposed berms are to be planted with grasses and any other buffering and screening plans are addressed in the proposed landscape plans. These meet the requirements of the Code. Section 8.6 Off Road Parking Standards: Off road parking is shown on the plans and is not expected to be an issue with this request. Section 8.10 Signs: All signs will need to be permitted thru the approval of a Sign Permit. Section 8.11 Air Quality: The Health Department has noted the need for an Air Pollution Emissions Notice(APEN) for any site disturbance and the batch plant. The CDPHE concluded that the estimated controlled emissions from the mine combined with current background levels are well below the Colorado Ambient Air Quality Standards used for regulatory(permitting)purposes. The County's prior experience with mines shows that a significant contributor to dust is the haul road. The principal access drive/haul road will be paved and reduce dust creation.
