Shafer Contracting/Lance Johnson: Mineral Extraction Permit Renewal
City Planner Pearson reviewed the renewal of the mineral extraction permit on Lance Johnson's
property by Shafer Contracting Company. This allows for the routine annual review of the current
permit and is unrelated to the previous request for expansion of the mining area. In 1999, 2,532
cubic yards of material were removed from the pit area which is about half of the volume removed
last year. A few changes have been made to the conditions of the renewal in order to update them
and keep all permit renewals consistent. Operating hours were changed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
allowing operation the same time as city ordinance allows for construction work. An entrance gate,
which would be secured after operating hours was required for safety. Lance Johnson would be
required to maintain the easement required for access on Rich Valley Boulevard. Charlie Keenan
showed the Council photographs of debris and garbage that had been dumped near the entrance to
the pit. This land actually belongs to Koch Refining who will be made aware of the problem.
Council hopes that a gate will also keep dumping from happening.
MOTION by Klassen to renew the mineral extraction permit for the Lance Johnson property subject
to the permit conditions for 2000 including paragraph Y. requiring a stock gate at the entrance which
will be secured when not operating. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Busho, Caspar, Edwards, Klassen,
Cisewski. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment Maximum Density Allowable in the Agriculture District
City Planner Pearson presented the Zoning Text Amendment to preserve agricultural land from
encroaching residential development. A public hearing was held on October 12, 1999, at the
Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the
amendment with a vote of three to one. The dissenting Commissioner was concerned about reducing
a farmer's ability to subdivide land. This amendment will lower dwelling units to one per forty acres
rather than one per ten acres. The land guided for future urban development continues to be zoned
agriculture until water and sewer services are available.
MOTION by Caspar to adopt an ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE B, the zoning
ordinance that will lower the maximum residential density allowed in the Agriculture District to one
dwelling unit per forty acres. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Caspar, Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski, Busho.
Nays: None. Motion carried.
