like to see a metalic copper, similar to automobile paint. Council requested test patches on the
actual sculpture for color selection.
Zoning Text Amendment and Conditional Use Permit for Lance Johnson/Shafer Contractin�
Community Development Director Rogness presented the Findings of Fact for denial of the Zoning
Text Amendment and Conditional Use Permit by Lance Johnson and Shafer Contracting for
expansion of the aggregate mining operation. The policies of the Comprehensive Guide Plan
intended to protect agricultural land. Also, Council is in the process of examining the future of
mining operations and they have not completed a series of workshops on this topic.Mayor Busho
noted that Johnson has a current mining permit which would enable Shafer to operate it at this time.
Council is not curtailing current mining operations. Dave Sellegren spoke on behalf of Shafer
Contracting,noting that the property is isolated,the top soil is not sufficient for agriculture, and that
past mistakes by the privious operator would be cleaned up. Shafer operates in other cities and has
a very good standing with them and local neigb.bors. Shafer requested approval for the expansion
by allowing mining in an agricultural zone under a conditional use permit as proposed intheir
application.
� MOTION by Edwards to adopt a resolution for denial consisting of the five findings of facts for
