Memo to P.C.F'.C. • • Re: S.U.P. No. 479 (3rtl Amended) July 15, 1998 Page 3 OTHER AGENCY COMMENTS The Colorado Division of Wildlife letter of 7/10/98 indicates the proposal will not have any additional significant impact in this already disturbed area. The Armv Corps of Engineers fax message of 7/6/98 indicates no comments on this proposal. The Pueblo County Department of Public Works memo of 7/9/98 indicates no comments for this land use case. STAFF COMMENTS Staff conducted an on-site review of the property on July 14, 1998, and observed the following (Exhibit 5): The site is being mined for sand and gravel. 2. The applicant is seeking an amendment to the special use permit to allow unlimited hours of operation for the extraction and processing activity that would serve the Pueblo Dam reconstruction project. Staff discussed the expanded mining activity with Mr. Mark Klune July 7, 1998. He indicated Transit Mix would need additional hours of operation to be able to accommodate the large volumes of material needed for the project. Staff requests the applicant prepare evidence in the form of an extraction and processing capacity and capability analysis report to verify that 7-day-per-week processing and extraction during daylight hours OIVLY would not be sufficient for serving this project. Given that stockpiling and additional processing may take place within the existing I-3 Zone District without limitation as to hours, staff is not convinced the amendment is absolutely necessary and would need to see additional information to confirm the need. If the analysis provides sufficient evidence to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission, staff could support the temporary expansion of operating hours. 4. Staff notes that SUP 479 must comply with the previously approved conditions of approval for incorporated SUP No. 22 and No. 147, for which the following requirements continue to apply: Approved May 28, 1965, SUP No. 22 -Condition No. 2: "The processing shall be limited to the daylight hours, as defined by official sunrise and sunset as established from day to day by the US Weather Bureau at the Municipal Airport or between the hours of 6 am and 6 pm, whichever provides the greatest number of working hours" (Exhibit 4, page 4).
