MOTION WAS MADE BY Commissioner Solari, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Flescher, to reconfigure <br />Section #4, Item (4)(e)(1), and to insert a subcategory (a) for <br />the minimum gradable base of twelve (12) inches of suitable <br />road base material, and a subcategory (b) for the twelve -inch <br />sub base and twelve (12) inches of coquina road base; and to <br />tie those requirements into Section 4(f), with an increase in <br />the paving trip threshold to 1,000 trips. <br />Staff provided technical information on how the increased road materials would <br />increase the load-bearing ratio (LBR) of the haul route and the number of truck trip ends. <br />Ms. McGuire -Smith voiced concerns regarding the 1,000 truck trip threshold, and <br />urged the Board to keep the truck trips down to 500. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan also objected to the 1,000 trips per day, fearing it would <br />engender a parade of trucks along the route. <br />Further discussion ensued among Commissioners, staff, and area residents and <br />professionals, regarding the road materials and the trip truck end thresholds. <br />Commissioner Wheeler opined that the Board was losing sight of the problem, <br />which is heavy mining in AG -1. He felt that the Board should be very restrictive on what is <br />allowed in AG -1, because it is more heavily populated than AG -2 or AG -3. <br />19 <br />December 19, 2008 <br />Special Call Mining Regulations <br />
