WHEREUPON, the folLowing proceedings Comm.issioners was had and entered of ( I cr=rtify that the following is true abil.i-ty. ) ,a) before the Board of County record to wit: and accurate to the best of /) € , n ( t ez /r--.."/ Transcriptionist At the request of County Clerk C Recorder l,Iil-dred Alsdorf Page 1 ... 1 CHAIRMAN PRO TEI4 SMITH: 10:l-5 is a request by John Powers for 2 determination non-conforming use of gravel pit l-ocated one mile 3 northeast of Carbondale on Highway 82. 4 I,IARK BEAN, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING, PLANNING & SANITATION: 5 Basically it was requested and I was advised by Don that this 6 particular request needs to be made to the Board of County 7 Comm:Lssioners since staff does not have the legal authority to make 8 this type of determination and in my disussions with Don and based on 9 this - did you get a copy of this letter? 10 CHAIRMAN PRO TEM SMITH: Well, Jerry was talking about it. 11 MARK BEAI|: If not, maybe I could. L2 COMMISSIONER PRO TEI{ SMITH: No, I haven't seen this one. Have 13 you seen that one. 14 COMMISSIONER SCHMUESER: Yah, r think (unintelligible) came 15 through as a - well, what we are doing here is approving a continued 15 use L7 I,IARX BEAN: Confirming a non-conforming use status. 18 JERRY HARTERT: What we need and the reason for the request is 19 to gr=t straight with the I,ILRB on an expansion of their permit. Let 20 me explain a little background on it. The owner of the permit, the 2L MLRB permit, Lras initially the Department of Highways and when they 22 no longer needed the permit, although they still use out of this pit, 23 they didn't need the permit any more uh to complete the extended 24 mining under the ori-ginal permit, they assigned it to the landowner, 25 John Powers. He is now the permitee under the MLRB and when the Page 2 L 2 3 4 5 5 7 I 9 10 11 L2 13 r.4 15 15 L7 18 19 20 2L 22 23 24 25 Highvray Department applied for it, they only applied for a certain area and so forth. And so we need to satisfy their requirements, that is the MLRB's requirement that this is a valid non-conforming use under Garfield County zoning. Obviously, they don't want to permJ-t any use that is illega1 under your zoning laws. So that is why we are here in a nutshell. Dick has prepared - Dick has been the owner of this property for many years I think going back to what DICK I,IARTIN z 1952 JERRY HARTERT: l-952 - he is here to let you know just what the actirrity has been on - in this pit and it has been a continuous actirrity for over 30 years and certainly was in existence at the time zoning was imposed in that area of the county. We do have an existing special use permit that was gotten by the then owner of a concr:ete batch plant. That was not a prior or existing non-conforming use and so they had to come in - that was back in the days when Flash Concrete owned that operation up there. They came in and <1ot a special use permit from the County - gosh I don't know - in the 170's some time and now that permit of course, is in effect tran:;ferred to the present operator, Roaring Fork Redi-Mix. We are here to tel} your first of aII, I've got a plat that will show you what we had in mind as the ultimate pit limits for this operation, just so you will be aware of it. And we are here to present anlthing that we can to inform you of the historical use of the permit - uhm and to assure you that the level of activity in the pit is not going Page 3 t 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 L2 13 L4 15 16 L7 18 19 20 2L 22 23 24 25 to increase in any substantial way that would impact the surrounding area by way of - by means of heavier traffic and so forth. It is going to be about the same volume operation it has been in the past years. If I may, I'1I just 1ay this in front of you so that you can - this is the existing : Can you see Don for a minute : Yes, I can (unintelligible). JERRY IIARTERT: This is the proposed ultimate limit of the pit. This whole thing when it is done prowides the - what we feel and land use planner that has been retained - feels is the optimum area for site rehabilitation. They have got a lot of good ideas about how this whole thing will Iook when it is done. We are planning on the ranch owner, Mr. Powers is planning on going well beyond the MLRB's requirement for rehabilitation, you knowr on the one slope, whatever it is and actually wants to create some amenities on this lakes and so forth but that's real1y not germane to this hearing and we won't bore you with al} that because we are cJ-aiming as a non-conforming use and so that rea}ly shouldn't enter into it but just to let you know what the ultimate plan is here. Topography, other qualities of the land up here and so forth, irrigated land and so on dj-ctate that this thing will, should end right here. COMMfSSIONER SCHMUESER: Mark, you're satisfied that been a continuing non-conforming use. MARK BEAN: I have no problem. My only question, I answered that in his previous statement and I believe Don this has think Jerry confers is Page 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11_ L2 13 14 l_5 16 L7 r-8 19 20 2L 22 23 24 25 that the issue of non-increasing the activities above the historic Ievels. That might be a concern but that is not their intent here. DON DeFORD: Mark's right. He and I have talked about this on two or three occasions. The only quest,ion I giuess I have is in the original operation as of 1970, was there any limitation on the extent of the gravel pit at that time? JERRY HARTERT: Limitation imposed by (unintelligible) DON DeFORD: Was there any t11pe of - well had the ranch that Powers represented that there was going to be limited to a certain geographical area. JERRY IIARTERT: No, in fact the only opportunJ-ty for any representations to have been made would have been when the Flash Concrete operation came in and applied for a special use permit for the concrete batch plant and DON DeFORD: That was after 70 JERRY HARTERT: Yes, that was after 70, right, right but f atn saying that would have been, historically, that would have been the only time when the Commissioners were even approached. I don't think there's been, certainly since I have been representing Mr. Powers, there hasn't been any uh need to come to the County Commissioners to ask for these things and it's only inspired by the I,lLRB's requirement that they have assurance that we are Iegal. That's what they want to know. DON DeFORD: That was my understanding of it. I just wanted to make sure and then Mark's right that my only concern was that not Page 5 1 2 3 4 5 5 7 I 9 10 1l_ L2 13 L4 15 15 L7 r_8 19 20 2L 22 23 24 25 increasing the intensity of the use and the volume of production. COMMISSIONER SCHMUESER: I am familiar with the pit, have been and I arn sure you are. CHAIRMAN PRO TEI{ SIIIITH: Yes. JERRY IIARTERT: As part of our request, I should have added in the letter, that we would like a letter if the County sees fit and you are satisfied with the situation, we would like a written confirmation so that we've got something to present to the MLRB, that this is a valid non-conforming use. COMI{ISSIONER SCHMUESER: Should we do this by resolution and a copy of the resolution. JERRY IARTERT: That would be DON DeFORD: No, you should not do it by resolution because what you do not want to appear that you are approving a non-conforming use. And in factr you don't want that to happen any way. COI04ISSIONER SCHMUESER: That's right. DON DeFORD: So what you want to do is recognize through a Ietter made directly from Mark or MARK BEAN: Authorize me to write a letter on behalf to note this disussion DON DeFORD: saying that it is your understanding that this is a non-conforming use, it is not approval or denial but recognition that it exists and that's all. COMMISSIONER SCHMUESER: That's my motion. CHAIRI4AN PRO TEI4 SI4ITH: I'11 step down as Chair and second that Page 6 L 2 3 4 5 6 ? I 9 10 11 L2 13 14 15 16 L7 18 19 20 2t 22 23 24 25 motion. ADMINISTRATOR CHUCK DESCHENES: Concise and to the point. CIIAIRI4AN PRO TEM SI'{ITH: Further discussion? A11 those in favor. COMMISSIONER CHAIRMAN PRO MARK BEAN: the Board. COM},IISSIONER SCHMUESER: Aye. TEM SI,IITH: Aye. I will write a letter with my signature on behalf of operators up there ( unintelligible ) . SCHMUESER: Okay, and since we're familiar with the at that pit, we know that there is DICK MARTIN: From -what a couple gentlemen told me in L952, T moved up here from Grand Junction in the winter time and I lived there on the old Seiver's place and that was the end of the route the Carbondale School Bus, of course, we had some small kids that went to school and we hadn't any more got there and the wind came blew aII the roads fuII. So I got on the phone and found out who County Road man was in that area and also the County Commissioner. asked them if they would consider plowing out my driveway and I for and the I talked to the County Commissioner and he said you will have to talk to Mr. James Duffy. He's the road foreman. So I calIed Mr. Duffy and he saidr w€ don't make it a habit but in an emergency we have been plowing out a lot of other people's roads so we'1I plow yours out. That was my first acquaintance with Jim Duffy and it was all good from there on and he was working for a Republican commissioner Page 7 1' 2 3 4 5 5 7 I 9 10 11 L2 13 a who was (unitelligible) so there was some compatibility there and since then that pit has been a mainstay for the upper valIey for gravel, both Pitkin, Eagle and Garfield counties and for the State Highway Department. Freeman told me it went back to the time when the Midland Railway used that pit run gravel for their tracks. COMMISSIONER pRO TEM SMITH: and for their roadbeds. It has been in use for a long time. It sure has- DfCK ITIARTIN: And Mr. Powers is going to require a lot more than is required by the State and Mine Reclamation Board as Jerry can attest to, he is going to require a much deeper cover and vegetation, sprinkling system making it attractive.

The water chen passes through a water wheel used to remove large amounts of sediment. Sediment is removed from the screens and deposited on a conveyer belt for transport to a scockpile. The fines from the washing process are rnixed with masonry sand. The discharge from che settling ponds is pumped to adjacent pasture land, the tailwater is inEercepted and maintained on site by two catch basins. Storrnwater runoff is limited to the disturbed areas of the mining operation. The pit floor is being excavated in a concave configuration co capEure and isolate runoff. There is no discharge ac che present time. Wacer chat infiltraEes the gravel floor will be pumped.co the settling pond system and then discharged to the adjacent pascure land that ranges from 41 xo 79 acres. There is no proposed water treacment at Ehis cime for chis facility. The facility is not located within one mile of a landfill or any mine or mill tailings.

Powers who is the owner of real- propertylocated in Garfield County and described be1ow. The purpose of this letter is to request the Boarcl of County Commissioners of Garfiel-d County, Colorado, to indicate theiraffirmation that the gravel quarrying activity described below isa va1id, continuing, non-conforming use under the Zoning Regulation of Garfiel-d. County, Colorado. This affirmation is necessary to obtain approval for the quarrying operation from the Mined land Recl-amation Board. The quarrying activity involved has been carried on on aportion of a 44O acre ranch located. on State Highway BZapproximately one mil-e east of its intersection with State Highway 133. The legal tlescription of the property on which thequarrying operation is located is: That part of Lots 10, 11, and 12, Sectton 26,tp. 7 S., R. 88 W., 6th P.M. locatednortherly of State Highway No. 82 fhe quarrying operation began at least JO years ago, ancl hasbeen carried on continuously since such time by either theproperty owner or various lessees of the gravel quarry, includingthe Colorado Department of Highways. In addition to the quarrying activity, a portion of the realproperty involved has since 1 980 been usecl for a concrete batchplant and gravel washing facility untler a special use permit granted by Garfield County, Colorado as ResoLution No. 80-58. Since the inception of his ownership in 1968, it has beenthe intention of the owner of the property to continue to quarrygravel at this location to what nay be clescrlbed as the naturalextent of the gravel deposit, subject to topographical and otherconstraints and to cease quarrying operations when the plt was extend.ed to limits optimum insofar as providing an opportunityfor esthetically attractive site rehabilitation. rt\.-/ Board of County Conmissioners February 22, 1 988 Page 2 We would also add that the continuation of the quarrying activity will be at the same approximate rate of extraction ancl processing as in the past years and that such continuation will- not result in increased impacts in terms of traffic volume, dust generation and similar effects related to this type of activity. We would therefore appreciate your confirnation of the Iegality of this continuation of a non-conforming use under the prdvisions of the Zoning Regulations of Garfield County' Colorado.
