Upon roll-call vote, all members present voted in favor of the Findings and Resolution, tahich were duly adopted. PETITION OF THREE BELL RANCH ASSOCIATES lvtr. Bob Shields presented this petition for special review authorization to extract sand and gravel and operate asphalt and concrete batch plants in the FA-1 Farming Zoning District. t•Ir. SYrields said the application is self-e~;planatory but he ~•rould answer any questions the Planning Commission might have. Plr. Ellery ]ti'ilwarth, representing John and Rosanna Harris, spoY.e in opposition to this request. The Harris' property is near this request and they are opposed to having the batch plants taithin sight of their house. They are concerned that dust and noise will detract from the value of their property. Furthermore, batch plants are not extractive processes and therefore cannot be ap- proved under the special revieca, Mr. Joe Coyt, representing Ptarmigan Investment Company, also spoke in opposition. ;le said the Ptarmigan Subdivision will suffer if this proposal is approved. The subdivision is on a bluff over- looking the excavation and processing sites. Residential uses and . gravel extractions are not harmonious. If this proposal is approved the property values in Ptarmigan Subdivision caill depreciate. Tt,cre will also be traffic problems on Highcaay 392 if material is ]~auled from the wouth end of the site. The Planning Staff explained that in 1976 the Larimer County Board of Adjustment determined that asp}ialt ar,d concrete batch plants are accessory to sand and gravel extraction operations. The dwellings irr Ptarmigan Subdivision will be at least '~ mile from the batch plant sites. The state has very strict emissions standards which swill prevent any particulates from leaving the site. It appears that traffic ~ai11 be reduced if the material i.s processed on the site. ter, Shields said the batch plants were J.ocated to ]>e away from dwellings :u~ the area and p.r.e~vailing uri nds will carry dust away -I:10-
