NOTICE OF HEARING CANCELLATION
You may have recently received notice or are aware of the fact that at the last City Council
Y Y �'
' meeting, the Council continued the request by Moon Valley Aggregates to mine clay at a site
south of Pioneer Trail to the September 14, 1992, meeting. I want to inform you that, as the
Planning Director, I have taken action to temporarily withdraw this item from the City Council
' agenda. I have taken this action since we were presented with a copy of soil boring data taken
for this site by the applicant's engineer on Wednesday, September 9th. This data was collected
by the contractor for the clay operation during August and was not in the possession of the
' applicant until this time. The data indicates the presence of the sand layer at an elevation that
is actually closer to the surface than had been anticipated. This information resolves the
significant questions that have been raised regarding the potential functioning of the infiltration
basins. However, it also will result in the need to revise the excavation and drainage plans to
account for subsurface conditions. A result of this revision is likely to be a decrease in the
amount of clay material that would be proposed for mining at this site.
Staff expects to have revised plans from the applicant next week so that the item can be heard
at the September 28, 1992, City Council meeting.
' If you have any questions or desire additional information, please feel free to contact me at City
Hall.
Sincerely,
Y
Paul Krauss, AICP
Planning Director
