Pueblo County Department of Planning and Development <br />April4 2002 <br />Page ~ 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 />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 />Surrounding land uses are primarily agricultural/rangeland, with other <br />permitted sand and gravel operations to the east and south of the site. <br />Being a business operation, the truck traffic will be limited to business <br />hours. The operation will not require additional housing or support services <br />to be located in this agricultural area. Compatibility with the surrounding <br />uses will be assured by setbacks, noise limitations, and other restrictions on <br />the operation. <br />10.
