REOPENING R REHEARING: request to amend resolution) Case No. M75-1 COOLEY GRAVEL COt1PANY S4! of Morrison Quarry operation in M-C zone ueor<)e Holiey, Attor~n~y, 13':9 ::est Ccifa:: Avenue, Golden 80401; Dale Ream, property manager; and Robert Quist, plant manager; were present on behalf of Cooley Gravel Company, P.O. Box 5485, Denver 80217. A letter had been received requesting certain amendments to the reso- lution adopted September 10, 1975 which was considered by the Board on December 17, 1975 at which time proper action was taken to reopen the case and set the matter for rehearing today. New public notice signs were prepared, picked up and posted. There were 9 items of concern to the applicant set forth in the letter dated Novemher 21, 1975. An explanation statement was submitted today which summarizes the reasons for concern. HOUk'i OF OPERATION, BLASTING, HAULING: The resolution limits hours of operation from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday thru Saturday with only repair work on Sundays. Blasting is limited from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ^1onday thru Saturday. Hauling material is prohibited on Sundays. ~~~ ~~, The applicants are asking that there be no restriction hours and days of operation, blasting and hauling since they have had none in the past 5 years. They are approximately 3500 ft. from the nearest residence. The quarry is more or less remotely located. There have never been any complaints received by the Company or by the County. Mr. Quist and htr. Ream explained that hours of operation vary according to season and demand. Although they don't make a practice of it, there dre times they operate from very early morning until midnight. lJinter operations are normally just 5 days a weel; from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., but sunmrer hours are considerably longer. Previous testimony vras that it is not unusual to operate 15 or 16 hours a day during summer and tfrat quarrying is not done on Sunday. There is a need for occasional hauling on Sundays to supply the demand of contractors having deadlines to meet. There is no evidence that occasional hauling on some Sundays creates or adds to traffic problems. Limiting tlasting hours was not a great concern since they only I~l~rst 2 or 3 times a v~ec;;, r.or~a~;rly during lunch breik or at quitting time. Mr. James asked if blasting could be limited Lo 1 hour after.suru•isr. and 1 hour before sunset which was agreeable and in excess of whet normal lrrocluction requires, ~z ~ (conLinu,:a)
