indicated that the blasting shakes the walls. Also, his fish pond leaks from <br />the repeated blasting. <br />Mr. Erwin Danziger, a local property owner, spoke against this proposal. <br />He indicated that the noise and the blasting causes great difficulties and stress <br />to property owners. <br />Ms. Ann Parrish, a local resident, spoke in opposition to this proposal. <br />She asked for clarification about what the County would do if the blasting in <br />some way caused their water to become contaminated. <br />Ms. Madeline Levine, a local resident, spoke in opposition to this <br />proposal. She felt that insufficient environmental data had been supplied by <br />the staff in their analysis of the proposal. She stated that this information <br />should be provided before the governing boards take action on the request. <br />Mr. Daniel Valero, a local resident, spoke in opposition to this proposal. <br />County staff was asked to address the following concerns when these items <br />are brought back to the Boards: <br />-How many people are going to be adversely effected by the moving <br />of the quarry and asphalt operations? <br />-would approval of this Land Use Plan change set a precedent for the <br />Rural Buffer? If so, what precedent would it set? <br />-Is there legal recourse for property owners for damages if the <br />quarry were to become a permitted use or an industrial node? <br />-How might some of the concerns which were raised concerning ground <br />water and damage to structures be addressed? <br />Mayor Kinnaird asked what just compensation for property damage is being <br />considered. <br />Commissioner Willhoit asked for clarification on the history of this quarry <br />and the difficulties that neighbors have experienced as a result of the blasting. <br />Has American Stone been notified of these problems and what kind of satisfaction <br />was received in response to any complaints? <br />Mr. Belon, a local landowner, spoke in opposition to this proposal. <br />Mr. Allen Spalt, a local landowner, spoke in opposition to this proposal. <br />He indicated that the choices are difficult, since a sizable reservoir would be <br />available after the quarry is mined out. However, the environmental affects have <br />not been adequately addressed in order to support the request. <br />G. JOINT PLANNING PUBLIC REARING <br />D.
