allows the proposed excavation activity but only in accordance with the special conditions of the LDRs that apply to mining proposals. In regard to the LDRs, the proposal faded to meet the following requirements: A Traffic regulation 952.12(2)(a) and (g) [see attachment #4] permits only one ingress/egress driveway for projects unless public works permits more than one such driveway based upon parcel size, trip generation, road frontage, and other design considerations. The County Traffic Engineer of the Public Works Department determined that the project's 3 proposed ingress/egress driveway connections to the project site area (2 connections to 99' Street and 1 connection to CR 507) are not justified and do not meet 952.12(2)(a) and (g). B. Specific land use criterion (for mining) 971.22(1)(b)3. requires that all requirements of Chapter 934 (excavation and mining regulations) must be satisfied, and section 934.07(1) requires that all section 971.22 specific land use criteria for mining be satisfied. Because section 971.22(1)(b)4 is not satisfied (see discussion below), neither section 934.07(1) nor 971.22(1)(b)3 is satisfied. C. Specific land use criterion (for mining) 971.22(1)(b)4 requires that the proposed project have direct access to either a collector or arterial roadway, or to a local road that serves only non-residential uses. The proposed project does not have direct access to a collector or arterial roadway. The site has frontage on two local roads (101a Street and 99'h Street), and on a collector road [CR 507 (Babcock)]. The proposed access to CR 507 is not direct. Rather, it directly accesses 99' Street and then continues to CR 507. Such access is not direct in regard to CR 507. Thus, there is no direct access to a collector or arterial road. In addition, the proposed direct access to 99'h Street violates the 971.22(1)(b)4 prohibition of accessing local roads that serve residences. Ninety-ninth Street clearly meets the LDR definition of "Road, local" (see attachment#5) and does serve residences that are located immediately east of the project site. Thus, 99f° Street cannot be used as the project's access, since it is a local road that serves residential uses. Therefore, the application fails to meet the requirements of 971.22(1)(b)4. As noted in staffs report to the Planning and Zoning Commission, Chapter 934 requires that the project's onsite haul road be located at least 300' from the nearest residence. Because the subject site is surrounded by many residences, there is no point along the 38 acre site's CR 507 frontage that can meet the 300' separation requirement. Consequently, the applicant has proposed to access CR 507 further south where the 300' setback can be satisfied. However, moving the driveway south requires a connection to 99th Street which, as explained above, fails to meet access requirements. November 7, 2000 168 BK 115 PG 877
