Attachment 12 page 9 Yoram Stone LLP • EXHIBIT 3-SECTION 11 -COMPLIANCE JULY 17, 2007 districts than in urban areas, most quarries are located in this zone district. Many of the minor problems that are created by rock quarrying aze the same as those found in rural azeas associated with agricultural practices. 4. That the proposed conditional use will not result in overly intensive use of the land relative to use of the surrounding land. The M.L.RB. permit states this quarry will operate year around with periods of inactivity when adverse weather conditions exist This is a simplified explanation that addresses requirements in the State permit regarding Temporary Suspension of the operations. The activity level is fairly similaz to that associated with agricultural activities. During the warm months activities increase while in colder months activities reduce. This quarry will not signi&carrtly increase the activity on the surrounding area. The material from this quarry will be for building houses, businesses and landscaping. Our records show that approximately 6,000 tons of material will be removed each yeaz from the quarry. • 5. That the proposed conditional use will not result in traffic congestion or hazards to vehicular or pedestrian traffic. As noted above, a nrinor traffic increase is expected if this proposal is approved. At this time trucks hauling moss rock from the surrounding area have been using the roads over the past 3 years. Since most of the supply of moss rock has been depleted, the trucks hauling from the area will shift to this quarry when all approvals are completed There will not be an increase in trucks using the county roads in this area under our proposal nor will those tucks result in increased traffic congestion. See EXHIBIT 2 regarding the tnrck impact analysis for more information. 6. That the proposed conditional use will not unnecessarily scar the land on which such use would be located and that the Site is free from loose piles ofsoil or other materials and open, unprotected pits or holes. There are many state regulations that deal with this issue. The state reclamation law (CRS 3432.5-100 et seq.) provides the necessary guidance to assure mines are reclaimed. EXHIBIT 4 contains the state mining and reclamation• plans proposed to mitigate any scaring of the hillside. We might pohrt out that quarry operators are required to reclaim the disturbed area of a quarry unlike many adjoining land owners. If a cut is made in a land, it has to be sloped and revege[ated to at least existing conditions so as to make it blend in with the surrounding area. The quarry operator has to post a bond calculated by the M.L.R.B. to Yoram Stone LLP assures the reclamation is completed as approved
