NOV 2L <br />BOOK: ( o f' EE Ei79 <br />effect of moving this mining operation 850' closer to a platted <br />subdivision. <br />Mr. Smith stressed that the ordinance today allows the <br />mining operation to be within 150' of a subdivision that has <br />public water, and Chairman Wheeler agreed that is true, but from <br />what he is hearing today, he did not believe it will stay that <br />way very long. <br />Discussion continued, and Director Keating advised that one <br />reason the ordinance was changed was because we found ourselves <br />in an unusual position several times when an applicant came in <br />who possibly had excess material on site when he was digging <br />lakes for stormwater management. That applicant might be just <br />doing a development, and if it was in a residential area, he <br />could not legally do his stormwater management excavation and <br />take the excess fill off that site. <br />Commissioners Bowman and Scurlock felt maybe that is another <br />thing that should be written in the ordinance and possibly it <br />could be dealt with through a variance procedure. <br />Commissioner Scurlock personally did not see allowing any <br />mining operations next to residential anywhere in the county. <br />Those adjacent residents would be eating dust for years, and he <br />did not want someone to have to endure what he wouldn't want to <br />have to put up with. <br />The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard <br />and thereupon closed the public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0) denied <br />staff recommendation and directed staff to readdress <br />the issues raised today. <br />22 <br />
