PLANNING:
CONSIDER PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING FOR USR #874 - CAMENISH:
Bruce Barker, County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Shani Eastin,
Planning Department, explained the original USR #874 had been approved on
April 26, 1989. On December 9, 1992, a Show Cause Hearing was conducted
to consider revocation of USR #874 because use had not commenced. At said
hearing, the Board extended the vested property right until December 9, 1993.
Since that time, the use has not commenced. Mr. Barker stated the Board
needs to determine whether USR #874 has been abandoned, in which case the
applicant would be required to reapply. Mr. Barker said if the Board finds the
permit is active, action to extend it would be appropriate. In response to
Commissioner Hall, Ms. Eastin read from Section 24.1.5 of the Zoning
Ordinance explaining a USR is only effective for 3 years. Gary Tuttle,
representative for Phillip Camenish, gave a brief description of actions taken by
Mr. Camenish to gain a lease with a mining company, and stated a current
lease agreement exists with Andesite Rock Company. In response to
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Tuttle stated Mr. Camenish has begun applying
for permits and realizes they will need Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards updated to current standards. He added no action was taken in
previous years because Mr. Camenish was unable to find a stable company to
lease the site. Ms. Eastin stated upon approval, staff update the Conditions and
Development Standards to meet current regulations and requirements. In
response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Tuttle requested a period of at least
six months because of possible inclement weather. Commissioner Harbert
stated she would like to see a good road agreement and Chair Baxter added he
would rather agree to a one year extension to be sure they had time to begin
mining. Ms. Eastin requested clarification for staff if the resolution approved
April 26, 1989, requires amendment, since this does not follow the normal
amendment process for Use by Special Review Permits. Mr. Barker stated the
Board may direct staff to review those Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards and address the amendment of said resolution in a board meeting.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to grant an extension of one year to allow the
applicant to complete all permits, update Conditions of Approval and
Development Standards, and begin mining on the site; and if, at the end on one
year, mining had not commenced, a Show Cause Hearing be set since there is
Probable Cause to show the use to be inactive. Commissioner Webster
seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously..
RESOLUTIONS AND
ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda.
No Ordinances were approved.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to
and respectfully submitted by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
