October 8, 1992 III IIIIIIIIIIIII III U WATER DEPARTMENT Resources & Planning REr,~~~~~,~ OCT 0 91992 Dlvr,~,~:~~, . MINERALS ~ UE;.. _ Mr. Ken Rowberg, Director E1 Paso County Planning Department County Office Building 27 East Vermijo Street Colorado Springs, CO 80903 Dear Mr. Rowberg: The City of Colorado Springs has applied to the Planning Department for a Special Use Permit for gravel mining in an A-1 zone at the Hanna Ranch Utility Complex located south of Fountain. This proposed mine has been designated Hanna Gravel Pit ,~2. The proposed mining site is located along the south City limits of the City of Fountain with a small portion inside the City limits and the majority of the site located in unincorporated E1 Paso County. The proposed mine boundary was selected to recover the best gravel deposits on City owned lands on Hanna Ranch. The land within the City limits of Fountain is outside the jurisdiction of E1 Paso County and this is a concern of the E1 Paso County Planning Department. The concern is that technical revisions which may occur in the future to the State Mining Permit could be made for the area outside the jurisdiction of E1 Paso County. The City of Colorado Springs has also applied for a mining permit from the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division and agrees to follow the mining plan in the permit application for areas inside and outside the jurisdiction of E1 Paso County. We consider the proposed gravel mine as an entire operation and not two parts divided by the Fountain City Limits. Any changes that would require a technical revision to the permit will be submitted to the E1 Paso County Planning Department at the same time they are submitted to the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division. 30 5.
