<br />Pueblo County Department of Planning and Development <br />January 8, 2001 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />6. The proposal is located on lands that are within an agricultural district. The <br />zoning designation allows for the extraction of sand and gravel as a use <br />by special review. <br />7. Presently the permit boundary is used for grazing. The mining plan is limited <br />to where the sand and gravel reserves are of known high quality and with a <br />minimum amount of topsoil and overburden covering the resource. <br />8. Protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the <br />neighborhood of Pueblo County are being considered by the applicant. <br />Possible fugitive dust emissions from the site will be minimized by watering, <br />truck speed limits, and revegetation. Noise levels from the operation will fall <br />within the requirements for the industrial zone. Access to the operation will <br />be from Courtney Road and most trucks will proceed directly to US Highway <br />50. <br />9. Surrounding land uses are primarily agricultural, with other permitted sand <br />and gravel operations to the west of the site. Being a business operation, <br />the truck traffic will be limited fo business hours. The operation will not <br />require additional housing or support services to be located in this <br />agricultural area.. Compatibility with the surrounding uses will be assured <br />by setbacks, noise limitations, and other restrictions on the operation. <br />10. Drinking water will be supplied to employees by delivered bottled water. <br />Exhibit G of the DMG application discusses how dust control water will be <br />brought to the site. <br />11. Copies of deeds identifying the landowners of the property are attached. <br />12. The applicant agrees to comply with industrial noise levels. No extraordinary <br />methods are needed to obtain this noise level at the property line. <br />13.
