P P Community Development Director Dean Johnson presented for Council discussion a request from Palmer Peterson, President of Bituminous Roadways, Inc. , that the City re-evaluate its policy regarding sand and gravel mining in order to aZlow him to conduct a mining operation on the Otto Ped property consisting of 160 acres at the intersection of CSAH 42 and Emery Avenue. Johnson expressed concerns regarding the action taken by the Planning Commission to approve issuance of a grading/excavation permit with an annual term from May 15 to May 15 which would allow for stockpiling of sand and gravel over the winter months. Johnson noted that because the applicant intends to operate on the site for approximately five years and stockpile over the winter months, the intended operation is a full scale mining operation. In order to allow the mining operation, the Council could consi3er either rezoning the property from Agriculture to General Industrial or amending the zoning ordinance text to include mining in th� description of agriculture uses. Following discussion by Council, it was the general consensus that mining operations should be allowed east of Highway 52, and this issue should be referred to the Planning Commission for consideration to amending the zoning ordinance text.
