Mountain Ranch, the landowner, necessitated flexibility in regard to the reclamation seed mix <br />used. <br />PUBLIC COMMENT <br />Mr. Mitzelfeld thought that the light fixtures should be screened to restrict the lightbulb <br />glare visibility from the road and requested that a condition to that effect cover both the <br />construction and the operation periods of the project. He said that all of the structures and the <br />tanks should be painted the same neutral earthtone shade of green or brown, rather than <br />white. He stated that the installation of a silencer on the existing fan had significantly mitigated <br />noise levels so requested that a silencer be installed on the drilling rig as well as the fans since <br />five months of loud noise during the summer would be unpleasant. <br />At this time, Commissioner Monger exited the meeting due to illness and was absent for <br />the remainder of the day's proceedings. Chair pro tem Stahoviak conducted the remainder of <br />the day's hearings. <br />Commissioner Stahoviak called for further public comment; none was forthcoming. <br />Commissioner Stahoviak closed public comment. <br />ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION <br />The Board reviewed the conditions of approval and the petitioner's suggested changes <br />for those conditions. Commissioner Stahoviak listed the conditions of the current permit, SUP <br />#PP2005-026, that were not included in the amendment and stated that those conditions <br />should be included in the amendment petition at hand.
