JAMES M. BREWER COMMISSIONER DIST. NO. f DR. RICHARD A. MARTINEZ COMMISSIONER DIST. NO.2 KATHY PARLEY COMMISSIONER DIST. NO. 7 DR. RICHARD A. MARTINS CHAIRMAN OF BOARD TEARY A. HART COUHT`/ ATTORNEY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ~~r,FIVEC DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT J~1N 2 ~ 1996 June 26, 1996 Mr. Joseph O'Brien vice President Red Creek Ranch 7560 Highway 96 Nest Pueblo, CO 31005 Deaz Mr. O'Brien: Division of Mlneraie av~uiD9y I received your application material requesting a special use permit to conduct mineral extraction in an A-1, Agricultural (minimum 40 acre) Zone District. I have reviewed the applicable regulations and have determined a special use permit for natural deposits extraction and processing would be required prior to conducting any mining operations. Although your extraction activity may not require a Mined Land Reclamation Boazd Permit (depending on volumes mined and other factors), the Pueblo County Zoning Resolution does not distinguish between classes of mining operation. The Resolution places mining activities in the uses-by- review ofthe A-1 Zone District which requires special use permit approval by the Pueblo County Planning Commission prior to establishing the use or activity. In reviewing your application materials, I find several additional items of information will be necessary to begin processing the permit request. Your letter describes a "200 x 300 ft. disturbed area". the accompanying map generally locates this azea. However, a special use permit is granted for a specific location or azea and therefore requires a legal description and boundary depiction on a map of sufficient scale to allow reasonable field verification by staff and other interested parties. In your case, the legal description for the mining area may be the SE 1/4 r~IE 1/4 Section 24, etc. with a plot plan graphic to depict the 1.3 acre mining area as generally within the identified 1/4 1/4 section. You indicate the mining operation to be "of temporary nature". A special use permit is granted to the land and runs with the land, as such, it is usually approved without a proscribed duration. Termination of the special use pennit could be accomplished by a request from the land owner at a future date, by Planning Commission vote to not continue the permit after the first yeaz for 1120 COURT STREET, ROOM 200 PUEBLO, CO 81003-2819 (719)563-6100 FAX: (719)583-6376 ~• nwr a as,ar a.a • iii iuiiiiiiiiii iii ,
