Re: AmUSR-897—Riverview Resource
Quality Control Testing Facility
Dear Chris:
I appreciated your time in meeting with me yesterday regarding the procedure necessary to enable our
operations under the above-referenced USR to incorporate a materials quality control testing lab into the
overall use on the permit site. In accordance with your advice, this letter is submitted for Planning
Department staff review in this matter.
AmUSR-897 is an approved special use permit for gravel mining and concrete and asphalt batch plants.
The subject property is located south of"O" Street between 83rd and 71'Avenues. As noted in Exhibit D
of the Division of Minerals and Geology Permit, referenced in and submitted with the USR application, a
number of facilities are associated with these uses. We have been working with the County Building
Department and obtaining appropriate building and electrical permits for these facilities as they are
moved to the site.
The lab facility is a 12-foot by 32-foot temporary structure that will be removed from the site upon
completion of operations under the USR. It is not set on a foundation, and the only utility associated with
its use will be electricity. Based on that information, we were under the impression that only an electrical
permit was needed, and the structure was delivered to the site and anchored earlier this week. While
attempting to obtain a permit to proceed with the electrical work, we were advised that our USR does not
specifically provide for inclusion of the lab facility in our operations.
The lab facility is an integral part of operations under the approved uses of AmUSR-897. It is used
strictly for materials testing and documentation by one quality control testing employee and is not an
added impact. As such, we respectfully request the Planning Department's acceptance of this letter for
filing with the approved Special Review Permit and a favorable determination that incorporation of this
facility into AmUSR-897 does not represent a significant change to the approved use.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Very truly yours,
Connie Nickle Davis
