PLANNING:
CONSIDER VACATION OF PORTIONS OF USRS #489 AND #636 WHICH
ARE OVERLAPPED BY USR #999: Todd Hodges, Department of Planning
Services, displayed an overhead showing how USR #999 overlaps both USR
#489 and #636. Mr. Hodges stated through the purchase agreement when the
County acquired property included in USR #999, Siegrist Construction Company
was required to amend its USR to vacate these portions. In response to
Commissioner Hall, Mr. Hodges stated currently USR #636 is owned by Varra
Companies, and USR #489 is owned by Siegrist Construction Company, with
portions of each overlapped by USR #999. Don Carroll, Department of Public
Works, gave a brief history of the case and reiterated item #13 in the original
agreement states the seller is to amend USRs #636 and 489; however, this was
never completed. Mr. Carroll stated he applied with the State and was
approved for USR #999 not knowing the old USRs were still in place. Mr.
Carroll referred to a letter to Carl Mount, State Division of Minerals and Geology,
from Mr. Siegrist, indicating that the USRs need to be corrected. In response
to Commissioner Hall, Mr. Hodges stated the County is not amending the USRs
because the property is owned by the County. In response to Mr. Barker, Mr.
Carroll stated Mr. Siegrist and Varra Companies were notified of the vacation
and voiced no objections. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Barker
explained the vacation does not reduce Mr. Siegrist's requirements because the
intent of the original agreement was for the purchased property to be taken out
of the USR; and a vacation meets that requirement. Mr. Hodges added he was
not sure if the original conditions differed from those of USR #999; however,
similar requirements are used for all mining pits. Mr. Carroll stated he was
required to do extensive prairie dog, eagle and tree studies before USR #999
was acquired, and feels the conditions were more stringent than those of the
original Conditions of Approval and Development Standards. There was no
public input on this matter. Commissioner Hall moved to approve said vacation.
Commissioner Harbert seconded the motion, which 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.
