Vice Chairman Davis felt that there was no "one size fits all" that is reasonable and <br />rational to determine the impact of a mine, but felt that traffic counts could be used. <br />The Board and staff continued to discuss the standards which could be established <br />for mining in AG -1, AG -2, and AG -3, and whether an existing operation would have to comply <br />with updated Best Management Practices (BMP's). <br />Nancy Offut, Treasure Coast Builders Association, urged the Board to consider <br />the importance of sand and rock to the construction industry and to the County's infrastructure. <br />She pointed out that if the sand and rock are located in an agricultural zone, that is where one <br />must obtain the materials. She felt that the best approach would be to mitigate the problems <br />through the regulations. <br />Ms. McGuire -Smith discussed the importance of obtaining accurate traffic counts <br />and wanted to see an enforceable density cap imposed on the traffic counts. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan wanted to know on Recommendation No. 28, <br />"...forfeiture of posted security for... truck driver violations...", if a more structured forfeiture <br />plan would also apply to any violations of Recommendation Nos. 25, 26, or 27, which Director <br />Boling affirmed. <br />Commissioner Flescher, on Recommendation No. 26.A, "...alternative to paving, <br />consider use of asphalt millings" believed that the asphalt millings could not be graded. Director <br />Boling agreed that the asphalt millings might not be the best way to go, but he stated that the <br />LDR's would take that into account. <br />12 <br />October 6, 2008 <br />
