Chair Gibson presided and Commissioners Wagner and Kennels were present. <br />Also present were: Candace Phippen, Building Inspection; Doug Ryan, Environmental <br />Health Department; Wendy Dionigi, Sean Wheeler, Samantha Mott, and Matt Lafferty, <br />Planning Departrnent; Ed Woodwazd, and Christie Coleman, Engineering Department. <br />George Hass, County Attorney; and Kristen Romary, Deputy Clerk. <br />Chair Gibson opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance, and asked for public <br />comment on the County Budget and the Land Use Code. No one from the audience <br />addressed the Board regarding these topics. Chair Gibson then explained that Items 1 <br />through 6 were on consent and would not be discussed unless requested by the Board, <br />staff, or members of the audience. At this time, Mr. Helmick explained the conditions of <br />approval for the Glade Quarry Special Review, File#OS-Z1547, as they pertain to the <br />recommendations made by the Planning Commission. He noted that condition #2 should <br />be removed from the final list of conditions of approval, and replaced with condition #16. <br />2. GLADE QUARRY SPECIAL REVIEW - #OS-Z1547: This is a request for Special <br />Review approval for a sandstone quarry on 46.2 acres with an estimated permit life of 8 <br />to 10 yeazs. The request includes appeals to Section 8.2.8 (Wetland Development <br />Standards) and 8.6.3.C. (Construction Standards) of the Land Use Code. <br />This item was discussed at length during the Planning Commission hearing in July. The <br />request is unusual in part because staff, the applicant, and the Planning Commissioners <br />all generally agreed that if the Glade Reservoir project is constructed, the quarry request <br />should be approved as well. All other concerns that are usually considered as part of a <br />Special Review, such as the protection of wildlife habitat, would not be an issue because <br />the reservoir would place the entire site underwater. Without the reservoir being <br />constructed, a quarry to the extent proposed in this area dsrectly conflicts with the <br />
