Location: 1.4 miles north of County Road 38, 1/4 mile west of County Road 71. Property Owner(s): Lance Johnson Area in Acres: 35 total Comp. Plan Desig: Agriculture(pending) Current Zoning: Agriculture Plan. Comm. Action: Recommendation of Approval (Unanimous) SUMMARY Scott Spisak has requested the renewal of the mineral extraction permit on Lance Johnson's property. This is a request based upon the routine annual review and renewal of the current permit and is unrelated to the previous request for expanding the scope of the permit. In 1999, 2,532 cubic yards were reported to have been removed from the pit area,which was about half of the volume from the previous year, 1998. The Police indicated that no complaints were received regarding the property in the past year. PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING—NOVEMBER 23, 1999 One neighboring property owner attended the public hearing and expressed his concerns about illegal dumping on the surrounding property owned by Koch Refining Group. A gate securing the entrance at County Road 71was removed the previous year on the orders of Mr. Johnson. The Planning Commission suggested that a new gate be installed at the entrance to Mr. Johnson's property if not at the entrance to the County Highway. Mr. Mattson, President of Shafer Contracting indicated his willingness to comply with the gate and all of the draft conditions of operation for 2000. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to renew the mineral extraction permit for the Lance Johnson property subject to the attached draft conditions for 2000. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: � Z � , . ..

Stat. § 298.75 Our File No.: C-97-388 � Deaz Mr. Johnson: In calendai year 1998 and for the first quarter of 1999 the Dakota County Auditor has received � aggregate removal tax reporting forms from Shafer Contracting and others for a�aregate removed from a gravel pit belonging to you in the City of Rosemount. The first quarter and second quarter reports filed for 1999 by Shafer Contracting sho�v that no aravel has been removed from your pit. The City of Rosemount and others in the vicinity of�-our land, however, have inquired of the County as to whether the aggregate tax is beina paid for materials being removed from the pit on your property. Since we have no reports of aQgregate beinQ removed from your property, tii•e can only assume that no report is necessary under subd. 2 oi tilinn. Stat. § 298.7� or that there is a willful failure to file a report by yourself or others operatina the pit on your land. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss completion of the aggregate removal tax reporting form and payment of any ta.�es owing for the materials removed from your property. For your convenience, I am enclosing with this letter a copy of Minn. Stat. § 298.7�, the aQaregate material removal; production tax statute. This statute explains the reporting requirements as �vell as penalties for nonreporting.
