BA 9-16-81 Purviance -7- District, 7-District, Bob Allen, George Kishida Trucking Company, Richard Corresco, and the adjoining property owner, Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller said he would vouch for the Don Merian operation on the Wilson property. Mr. Adams stressed the need to this County for this operation and the avail- ability of materials to the people in this County. He said the rehabilitated area will bring future agricultural growth to the County. Mr. Adams said it will be approximately two years before the excavation actually starts near the Sitkin residence . He said they will work with the Local Health District if noise is a problem for the. Sitkins . lie cormnented that most of the winds are blowing out of the northwest towards the southeast. Stockton Sand and Gravel will work most of the time during the day. He said that Stockton Sand and Gravel during the last three years has paid over one million dollars in wages ; the sales taxes paid were noted in the EIR hearing. Regarding access , they will work with the Department of Public Works ; the traffic impact will be less than on the previous operation. This project is being moved from one site to another. lie said this is the most appropriate site in the entire County for an excavation. . Mr. Hunter asked if any soil had been removed from the proposed site. Mr. Kovak said that there was an approved permit to excavate 2,000 yards for testing. Mr. Merian said in December, 1980 he called the Planning Department and was told he did not need a permit to mine. Mr. Hunter asked if the hole on the property was 2,000 yards worth of hole. Mr. Merian replied that it was. Mr. hunter asked for a brief discussion on the rationale of moving equipment and boxcars onto the property prior to any permits being issued. Don Merian, 4755 North Duncan Road, Linden, said that they hauled the boxcars onto the property to build a bridge on the Calaveras property and that is in process; they had no place to store the equipment and boxcars on the present site. The Planning Department said that as long as they do not move any material from the property a permit is not needed. However, the project stopped on this property since they were red-tagged by the Building Department. They will cut off the tops of the boxcars and use them for storage areas , or they will dispose of them as scrap metal; they will cut off the bottoms and use the boxcars for a bridge. Mr. Sherwin, County Counsel, suggested staff explain the requirement of a $30,000 bond for roadway servicing. Mr. Islas said that the bond estimates were compiled by the Department of Public Works. The sources were Bank of America Quarterly Report and the National Dodge Construction Annual. Mr. Blevins said that the $30,000 figure was based on the cost of repair work. It would be for an overlay as their proportionate share of the traffic attribu- ted tothe excavation. Larry Deimler commented on the noise factor; he said they may construct a berm 10' high to reflect the noise upward (along the Sitkin property line). Re- garding the driveway location, they are willing to work with Public Works to relocate a driveway. Dust control is one of the standard conditions for a quarry excavation and this will be taken care of. Public Works has the authority to require some paving. Bob Frickman, 407 N. Alpine Rd. , owner/operator of Yard-N-Gardn, said that
