City Council meeting of March 4, 1991 Page exception of the reduced size of the site for the purpose of mining. It would appear that all insurance and required financial deposits have been provided, with the exception of the $25,000 compliance bond, which will be provided if the permit is approved. The applicants have requested that this permit be treated as a transfer from Richard Schuh to RCA, Inc. In that there appears to be no process for the transfer of such a license, the City is treating it as a new application subject to the same conditions and requirements of the permit issued to Mr. Richard Schuh. As a courtesy to adjacent property owners, a copy of the agenda was sent to representatives of the neighborhood groups adjacent to the gravel pit. Rich Carron, president of RCA, explained the operation, and answered questions from the Council and audience. Mr. Carron stated that he had reviewed the 33 conditions of the proposed mining permit, and had no problem with complying with them. because of illegal use of haul roads in the past, new directional signs will be placed on the pit site for the drivers. Mayor Stoltzman opened the meeting for public comment, and Sandy and Bob Malaski expressed their concerns about the following: water and air pollution, violations of permit conditions relating to hours of operation, noise from the operation, and concern that the operator is not using materials on site, but rather hauling in materials. If the permit was granted this evening, the Council stated that at the time of a public hearing in 1992, the operator of the gravel pit will have to provide information as to the "life expectancy" of the pit. Mr. Carron agreed to have this data available at that time.
