From your message it sounds like Jim told you what happened with the tape and all. Not a good day for minutes I guess. My conversation with Jim was that I wouldn't start on the minutes until I 90t a copy of your notes, which he , agreed would be fine. I haven't received a copy as of yet, so I haven't started to fix what I have. I took very cryptic notes, because I new I had the tape to fill in all the blanks (not). So my apologize's for the mess and the miss communication, . Date Received: . 5 ~J 9 -[fq Planner.

'. ~_.~,.'. , 5 Letter 2: "As homeowners in the area of the proposed MountaloGate park site reclamation we wish to be listed with those opposed to this request. It appears to us that the proposal for blasting, rock crushing and a stockpile area all within 500 feet of our home presents a safety hazard, as well as belog an invasion of our right to a reasonable noise level in a residential neighborhood. We believe this to be a strictly commercial venture on the part of the applicant that has no regard for our neighborhood.'" '- Gerald and Darlene Spencer 5996 Lilac Lane, Springfield, OR 97478 Staff Response 2: The proposed use is a temporary in nature dnd is limited only to the operations necessary for reclam'ation of the quarry site. The applicant has proposed methods of mitigation for noise and other impacts. Staff has endeavored to reduce the affects on neighbors and recommends additional and! or expanded mitigations to reduce potential affects of the proposed use to those of other uses allowed by code on the same property. For example, pre-blast notice and surveying procedures will be implemented and expanded. blasting will be controlled to contain physical impacts on site. the schedule for blasting and crushing is limited. and no rock will leave the site for commercial purposes. (See Criterion 1 a. at page 10 of this report arid Attachment A _ Blasting and Operations Plans or Attachment B-Recommended Conditions of Approval). Letter 3: "Twenty or so years ago, blasting in that quarry caused extensive damage to the plaster ceilings in my home. The insurance adjuster told me that the fact that the cracks 10 the ceillogs came from the corners of the ceilings towards the center of the rooms indicated that the frame of the house was twisted and jolted. I am concerned that the underlying strata of rock at the quarry may run under my house also. Needless to say I am very much opposed to the any more blastlog in this quarry." Vonda Brooks, 812 S. 57"' Street, Springfield, OR 97478 Staff Response 3: In accordance with the proposed blasting and operations plans. as conditioned herein, seismic and sound monitors will be placed at or near the property lines of the quarry site to evaluate ground response to blasting and minimize impacts to abutting properties. There will be no physical impacts whatsoever to properties along S. 5th Street. (For more information refer to Attachment A of this report.) MountainGate Quarry/Park Discretional)' Use lON2004.0006 6
