Mary McGuire -Smith, 6625 West 82nd Avenue, stated that she had seen no <br />provisions addressing concurrent mines. She objected to classifying mining as an agricultural <br />enterprise. <br />Mr. Cramer asked for a definition of "public water supply well" to be included in <br />Recommendation No. 18, "...setback between any excavation area and any existing or proposed <br />public water supply well." He said that it was cost -prohibitive to require an applicant to pave the <br />road before commencing a mining operation, and suggested having the road paved at the <br />conclusion of the project. <br />Discussion ensued between the Board and Mr. Cramer regarding the <br />responsibilities of the mining concerns towards ensuring proper road maintenance; alternatives to <br />paving; and the intention of Recommendation No. 24,... "specific road surface protection <br />requirements...", to establish more specific road protection requirements. <br />Ms. Phillips voiced concerns about future mines adhering to restrictions. <br />Commissioner Wheeler wanted to see more direct consequences for miners if the <br />roads are not adequately maintained. <br />Jens Tripson, Vero Beach, voiced that on Recommendation No. 18, "...setback <br />between any excavation area and any existing or proposed public water supply well", should also <br />includerip vate wells. <br />Ms. Franzke reported that residents living at the paved end of 82nd and 60th were <br />experiencing problems from vibration, noise, and traffic. Although efforts have been made to <br />ameliorate problems, residents still had quality of life concerns such as traffic, health, safety, and <br />welfare. <br />10 <br />October 6, 2008 <br />
