Mr. Huber stated that Mr. Richard Schuh has made <br />application to the City of Hugo for a mining permit to operate a gravel <br />pit and bituminous manufacturing operation west of Irish Ave. and south of <br />147th St. The property in question is zoned agricultural and consists of <br />approximately 120 acres as described in the previous item. The 1987-1988 <br />issued mining permit limits the activities on site to stockpiling and <br />hauling away of stockpiled granule material, specialized aggregate being <br />hauled to the site, and stockpiling recyclable asphalt as well as asphalt <br />manufacturing. Although the mining permit requires no formal action of <br />the planning commission, the past policy of the council has been to <br />request planning commission input on any possible modifications to the <br />mining permit. The city staff has recommended several amendments to the <br />mining permit application. <br />Administrator Huber stated that this is also a request for expansion of <br />the mining operation. The current mining permit expires on July 6, 1988. <br />Area residents made several recommendations for the modification of the <br />permit issued in 1987. The council took these recommendations under <br />consideration and incorporated several of their suggestions. <br />Commissioners inquired about the monitor and what the specific duties <br />would be at the pit. Mr. Huber informed the planning commission that the <br />monitor would be for the operation of a bituminous plant only and would be <br />paid for by the license holder of the bituminous plant to report on the <br />hours of operation, storage of material, and specific activity being <br />conducted by licensee. <br />Motion made by Senkler, seconded by Jesinski to recommend approval of the <br />mining permit application for Richard Schuh to continue operating an 80 <br />acre site but not for the expansion to 120 acres subject to the following <br />additional conditions; <br />1. Road repairs on Irish Ave. as recommended by the city engineer be made <br />by the applicant at his expense. <br />2. An on-site monitor be provided by the city during the period that the <br />bituminous manufacturing is taking place and that the bituminous <br />manufacturing permit holder deposit with the city a $2,000 check to <br />compensate for monitoring services provided. <br />3. The mining permit be issued for a two year period expiring July of <br />1990 unless however, violations of the mining permit are such that <br />warrant possible revocation of the permit. <br />Members voting Aye: Sulivan, Senkler, Jesinski, Henry, Sonnenfeld <br />Members voting Nay: Barnes <br />
