RE: Use By Special Review Submittal; File No. 95-ZR0643CR0; Connell Resources;
Wellington Downs Pit.
' Deaz Ms. Michels:
On behalf of Connell Resources, Inc. (herein Connell); 4305 E. Harmony Road; Fort Collins, CO
' 80525 we are submitting a Use By Special Review permit application for the Wellington Downs
Sand and Gravel Pit located just south of their current Stute Pit operation.
' This Special Review application is submitted as the second stage of the County zoning review
process. The Concept Review (CTR) hearing was on June 1, 1995. The issues addressed in the CTR
' have been addressed and incorporated in this submittal.
We believe this application meets the eight criteria of the Lazimer Comprehensive Zoning
' Resolution for a Use by Special Review permit in the following ways:
1) The proposal complies with the intent and purposes of the Resolution.
1
2) The proposed use on the site is harmonious with the surrounding neighborhood. The land
in question is zoned FA-1 which allows gravel mining by Special Review. There are other
gravel mining operations in the azea.
' 3) This operation will have a limited impact on the surrounding azea. The site is in a rural azea
with few surrounding residents. The eight to ten yeaz duration of this project is relatively
' short. The final reclamation plan will create a water storage reservoir. The final reclamation
plan will preserve open space and be will appealing to passers-by as well as wildlife.
' 4) Since this operation is a continuation of present land uses, it will not affect property values
of the surrounding area.
