The applicant in this case, Edwin Deluz Trucking and Gravel LLC, is requesting a time extension, a 10-year time extension to Condition 5, which is the life of the permit for Special Permit No. 956. Special Permit 956 was originally approved on February 6, 1997. Condition 5 had a life deadline of December 31, 2007. The applicant is requesting that the permit be extended to December 31, 2017. The reason for the request is that several large developments in the area had halted because of the economy, and the soil, the quarry soil had created a surplus in this particular quarry. The applicant would like to continue quarrying this particular site, as there is still ample cinder to be quarried here. Looking at the conditions within the recommendation, the Planning Department has revised several conditions. One of them is Condition No. 3, which is the standard Final Plan Approval condition; that has been amended to just state that the applicant comply with the conditions of the Plan Approval that was secured in October 2002. Additionally we’ve made the amendment to Condition 5 stating that the life of the permit would be till December 31, 2017. And lastly, Condition No. 12, once an applicant receives an administrative time extension, we end up, or if there is a condition requiring that a particular applicant come back before the Planning Commission for a time extension rather than receive an administrative time extension, we would delete the administrative time extension portion of that condition, and just state that any further time extensions in the future need to come back before the Planning Commission. There is one correction in the recommendation, and that is the number “12” is crossed out, that should remain uncrossed out; we’ll make that correction. We have received several late comments from agencies. One of them, they are from the Department of Water Supply, the Fire Department and the Department of Transportation. These were received after the background and recommendation were submitted to the Planning Commission. The Planning Director is recommending that this amendment request be approved by the Planning Commission. Are there any questions? SIRACUSA: Yes. WATANABE: Yes, Ms. Siracusa. SIRACUSA: Since you brought to our attention the correction to Condition No. 12, I would like to draw your attention to Condition No. 3, which you mentioned, which does need a minor correction. The ramsayered sentence at the bottom is not a compete sentence. You should preface it with “The applicant shall.” Because right now it just says, “Comply with the conditions of Final Plan Approval ….” DARROW: We can make that change. Thank you. WATANABE: Any other questions? Then may I call the applicant up, please? Can I swear you in? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning Commission? APPLICANTS: I do. EXHIBIT A 2
