Plus numerous other concerned citizens.
Commissioner Young made a statement concerning his stance on this issue. He
stated that since he did vote for the plan and that he did not recognize the
plan as having been legally adopted and therefore would abstain from any motions
made. Chairman Shepard stated that it had come to the Board's attention that
there were some concerns on the part of the surface miners concerning the plan.
Chairman Shepard then turned the meeting over to Tom Throop. Representative
Throop said there were some ordinances in the plan which the surface miners were
not able to operate under. Rep. Throop said that the most burdensome issue
to them is having to have their operations within a conditional use setting.
Mr. Bob Coates then spoke as chairman of the surface miners group. He stated
that the miners had 4 or 5 problems that they would like to express.
Rep. Throop said that he would like to lay out the specific problems so that
they would be easier to deal with. The first concern was that of the miners
being in a conditional use setting. The second concern was some question
if you're in an undeveloped SM and you want to move that site to a developed
SM, that requires a public hearing. Thirdly, if a SM zone is contiguous
to a SMR zone, the SMR zone would be changed to SM. The miners would like
the SMR zones out completely.
