The Comprehensive Plan has no specific statement relating to this type of an activity.
Strateeic Plan (1999)
The Strategic Plan has no specific statement relating to this type of an activity.
D. Public Services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Finding: Water, sewer, and power are not available, but they are not needed
for this activity. Emergency service vehicles can access the property.
E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
Finding: Removing gravel from the dewatered gravel bars of the
Resurrection River will increase the area available for flood flows. Extracting
gravel is beneficial to the community. Asphalt plants provide a product which is
needed throughout the community. Although asphalt plants do have strong
fumes, the operation will be located almost a mile North of the nearest residential
development in Forest Acres Subdivision. The building code has provisions
covering safety for asphalt plants.
F. Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the commission to fulfill
the above-mentioned conditions shall be met by the applicant. These may
include but are not limited to measures relative to access, screening, site
development, building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects
related to the proposed use.
Based on the above findings and conclusions, approval of the CUP shall be
subject to the following conditions:
1. A traffic control plan shall be required, which shall include the days and
hours of operation along the haul route. The plan will be subject to staff
approval.
2. Trucks shall use Hemlock Street to and from the Seward Highway.
3. Hours of operation shall not exceed 7 am to 10 pm.
43. Riverbanks and reverine vegetation shall not be altered or disturbed during
gravel extraction operations.
5. Fuel storage shall not be allowed onsite.
6. This permit only authorizes the activity, if any issues involving stream
flow, gravel rights or rights to other resources are involved, the applicants
shall address those concerns through separate processes.
