The question was whether the county permit was still valid even though the Mined Land permit had been relinquished.

CC: DONALD Carroll I Michelle Katyryniuk_Re___SSUP-249_and a question for you Page 1� From: LEE Morrison To: Michelle Katyryniuk Date: 11/7/03 4:20PM Subject: Re: SUP-249 and a question for you It appears that the permit has not been used but that no steps were taken to vacate because of abandonment. The best course is for them to reapply for a USR since the existing permit is outmoded . If they chose to use the old permit, the Board would be asked to formally revoke and they would then need to start over so I they do a new permit. Since they had a SUP and then a USR , I do not believe that the UD designation enters into a decision on this My question is Are you doing an SE for Eaton.water tank? Is there really a need for an improvements agreement where the public will not have access to the site and the Town is not going to leave the area 7 >>> Michelle Katyryniuk 11/5/03 7:48 AM >>> Good Morning Lee, I just have a few questions for you. AmSUP-249 is classified as Turnpike Agricultural Unit Development Plan, the applicant is wanting to continue the gravel operation as long as the revised DMG permit is approved. I checked with the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology and Turnpike's permit was released on Jan. 25, 1996. Meaning they have not been in operation for about 8 years. You informed me that you did not have a problem with them still operating just as long as'they have not abandoned the operation for 3 years. Does the 3 years still apply if they are not a USR but an Agricultural Unit Development Plan? Then my next question is if they have to come back through the county do they need to do a Second Amended to the SUP or do they go back through the Change of Zone and Final Plat because they are a AUD? _ Thanks, / Michelle 17' - B2ln't Lee D.
