' SUBURBAN SAND AND GRAVEL
ROAD RUNNERS REST 11
CASE #'s 13-80~CP d 20.92-C(A)
' the east side of Brighton Road most of the land is zoned A-3; one
small piece is zoned I-1 and a couple of pieces are designated
' M.C. There are approximately twenty occupied houses within a
one-half mile radius of the subject property. Also, within a
one-half mile radius are: a commercial feed lot, a private
airport (for crop dusters), a construction yard, an aluminum
' recycling operation, a wood lot and three active mining opera-
tions.
' 3. NEED FOR THE PROPOSED USE.
As discussed in other parts of this submittal, the need to
dewater the site helps maximize the gravel extraction from this
' site. This change will not change the character of the reclama-
tion plan since a lake will remain once mining is done. The
private lake will still be an open space area along the river.
' 4. ZTS AFFECT UPON THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
The neighborhood is one that is sparsely populated. The
facility does not have a discordant effect. The effect on the
' immediate area has not been drastic and in no case will it be out
of character for the area or surrounding uses. We do not expect
to disturb existing well in the area because we are down gradient
' from the wells along Brighton Road.
5. ITS EFFECT ON THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AREA.
Eventually the area west of Brighton Road will be developed
' for various forms of open space and recreation. By the time this
occurs, mining will be done and the lake will be refilled with
water. The present character of Brighton Road indicates the
' frontage along the east will eventually develop as commercial and
industrial with buffers of multi-family residential leading to
single-family dwellings. This site is along the south side of
' the proposed 120th Avenue extension.
6. ITS AFFECT ON THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE
INHABITANTS OF THE AREA AND THE COUNTY.
' We are acutely aware of our neighbors in the area and
operate this facility in strict compliance with all County, State
and Federal laws regarding air and water pollution as well as
' other health and safety standards.
M.L.R.B. MINING PLAN CHANGES
Our only change to the mining plan is to dewater the area
and mine it dry using loaders and scrapers. we expect this to
' improve the efficiency of the mine and allow maximum gravel
extraction. usually a wet mining operation will leave 5 to 108
of the available gravel in the excavated area.
