DATE: November 16, 1990
FROM: Kim B. Headley, Deputy Director
SUBJECT: SPECIAL USE PERMIT NO. 715, ROBINSON BRICK COMPANY,
c/o BUCK BARNHART, AGENT
PURPOSE
The applicant is seeking special use approval for the extraction of natural
deposits (clay) within an S-1, Public Use Zone District (Exhibit 1).
LOCATION
The 240 acre site is located approximately 1 1/2 miles northeast of the north
end of Stone City Road, west of Teller Reservoir and east of Fort Carson's
Range 123 Impact Area. The site is legally described as Southwest 1/4
Northeast 1/4, North 1/2 Northwest 1/4, Southeast 1/4 Northwest 1/4,
Northeast 1/4 Southwest 1/4 and Northwest 1/4 Southeast 1/4, Section 36,
Township 18 South, Range 67 West (Exhibits 2 and 3). The extraction site is
approximately one mile north of Fort Carson's southern boundary.
BACKGROUND
The applicant, Robinson Brick Company, has acquired a mining lease from the
State of Colorado Board of Land Commissioners to extract clay materials from a
240 acre site within the Fort Carson Military Reservation. The land surface is
owned by United States Department of the Interior (Fort Carson); however, the
mineral rights are owned by the State of Colorado and administered by the
State Board of Land Commissioners. The lease acquired by Robinson Brick
identifies the mining of brick, tile, and ceramic clays from the site. Access to
the lease is restricted to the three month period from November 1 through the
following January 31 annually or a similar three month period of mutual
agreement (Exhibit 4).
The materials are to be hauled from the site to the northeast; no use of Pueblo
County roads is proposed at this time. The haul route is through Fort Carson
accessing Interstate 25 at the Fountain Exchange (Exhibit 3).
Reclamation of the site is to include reclamation of an area previously mined by
Kaiser Refractories in the mid-1960's. The pit floor area will remain relatively
flat with a slight gradient to the south for drainage. The applicant is meeting
