STOKES WEST SUBDIVISION AMENDED, AMENDSS12-006, LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 7445 WEST 8800 NORTH IN THE TREMONTON AREA OF BOX ELDER COUNTY.

This applicant was requesting a conditional use permit to establish a butcher shop, taxidermy facility and veterinary clinic at an existing commercial site in the South Willard area of Box Elder County. This request meets the current zone of the area which is SW-NC and is subject to a CUP. No comments were received and the hearing was closed with a Motion by Commissioner Michael Udy, seconded by Commissioner Jay Christensen, unanimous. SNIPER COUNTRY/MIKE DAVIS, TEMPORARY (CONDITIONAL) USE PERMIT TEMP12-004; FOR A FIREARMS TRAINING FACILITY, TO CONDUCT TRAINING, HOST TRAINING, AND HOST EVENTS.

No comments were received and the hearing was closed with a Motion by Commissioner Desiray Larsen, seconded by Commissioner Kevin McGaha, unanimous. GARY GILLESPIE/CENTURY MINING, RE-ZONE Z12-004, TO REZONE THE FOLLOWING PARCELS 07-119-0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005, 0006, 0007, 0008, 0009, 0010, 0011, 0012, 0013, AND 0014 NORTHWEST OF PARK VALLEY IN UNINCORPORATED BOX ELDER COUNTY FROM THE CURRENT MU-160 ZONE TO MG-EX FOR THE PURPOSE OF A MINING OPERATION TO EXCAVATE AND PROCESS MATERIALS This applicant was requesting a re-zone of property located northwest of Park Valley that is currently zoned MU160. Several parcels are included in the proposed re-zone and the purpose for the change is to zone to MG-EX that allows for quarry, sand & gravel excavation. The rezone includes approximately 235 acres. Gary Gillespie (the petitioner) told the commissioners that this area has been the location of a historically producing mine and he is interested in bringing it back to life. He has had numerous geologists at the site to do sampling, mapping and drilling and the prospect was good. He has had all of the health and safety issues taken care of and now needs to re-zone the area in order to move forward with his mining operation. David Morris said that he had no objection to this mining operation, but did ask what the current zone was and exacting what was allowed under that zone. (Staff said that the MU-160 zone was mostly used for agricultural, grazing purposes, but if someone was interested in building a home in the area, they would need a minimum of 160 acres in order to do so.) Mr. Morris also said that there are others that may be interested in mining in the area and asked if they could be included with this application. An amendment to this application could be applied for in the future, but only the parcels that are included in this application would be considered for the rezone at this time. He is also working with the Forest Service to obtain an easement agreement for other areas, but said that he would come back sometime to request a re-zone for the other Planning Commission Minutes 9-20-2012 APPROVED Page 2
areas and that the Commission should move forward with Mr. Gillespie’s request at this time. At the conclusion of the comments a Motion was made by Commissioner Bonnie Robinson to close the hearing, seconded by Commissioner Michael Udy and was unanimous.

SNIPER COUNTRY/MIKE DAVIS, TEMPORARY (CONDITIONAL) USE PERMIT TEMP12-004; FOR A FIREARMS TRAINING FACILITY, TO CONDUCT TRAINING, HOST TRAINING, AND HOST EVENTS. LOCATED IN THE PLYMOUTH AREA OF BOX ELDER COUNTY FROM BROAD TO PORTAGE CANYONS. Upon review of the application and materials submitted, Staff recommended Tabling this application until the petitioner had sufficient time to meet with the various county departments, i.e. county health department, county road department, county fire marshal, etc. These departments have reviewed the application and have some requirements that they would like to see met before approval is given. The applicant is aware of those requirements. Mr. Mike Davis then talked with the Commissioners regarding this request and said that he is not necessarily looking for approval of the entire site, but would like to have approval of the Broad Canyon area in order for him to move forward with scheduling events. Staff did say that most of the concerns from the various departments did deal with the site of the lodge as it does not meet the requirements for the health department. The septic system and the water for the lodge need to be addressed and that is being worked on at this time. There was an event held in July 2012 (that brought in participants from around the country and Canada) and some of the concerns from the fire marshal had been dealt with because of that event. Mr. Davis said that there is nothing scheduled for the remainder of the year, but he would like to be able to at least say that approval had been given for the canyon [range] sites. Temporary access to the range sites has been granted to the petitioner [through the courts]. An approval of the temporary use permit would be valid for up to two years and would need approval from the County Commission as well. The commissioners continued to discuss their concerns regarding the lodge with the petitioner; at the conclusion the following motion was made. MOTION:
A Motion was made by Commissioner Jay Christensen to grant approval to the Broad Canyon [site range] portion of this application with the conditions as outlined by Staff (and also the stipulations as outlined in the previous application from the July event). The Motion was seconded by Commissioner Desiray Larsen to forward to the County Commission for their review and approval. An amendment was then made to this Motion by Commissioner Kevin McGaha to bifurcate this application, thus granting approval to the Broad Canyon range site as previously stated, and splitting off the lodge portion of the application to be Tabled until further review and the completion of the necessary improvements/requirements are met by the petitioner with the approval of the various county departments as discussed. The Amendment to the Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bonnie Robinson and passed unanimously. Conditions of Approval: (as outlined in the July 2012 TEMP Permit) 1. Compliance with Article 5 of the Box Elder County Land Use Management & Development Code. 2. Compliance with Article 2-2-160, Temporary Use Permit, of the Box Elder County Land Use Management & Development Code. 3. Compliance with Section 65A-8-212 of the Utah State Code, specifically the Utah State Forester’s Fire Restriction Order effective July 10, 2012. This order prohibits of the use of any steel jacketed or steel core ammunition of any caliber. 4. Proof of insurance for the event/time period the permit is valid.

(c) Take pre-emptive public education steps, such communicating the details of the event to the cities of Plymouth and Portage and home or property owners who live on the route. Although we can’t require a newspaper to do anything, the local newspaper should be contacted to see if they deem the event newsworthy. (d) Fire Prevention Warnings /safety rules will be posted on the dash of company vehicles and on the range firing lines as follows: Fire Prevention Rules: No open flames on ranges. No smoking except in designated smoking area, and no matches (lighters only) and cigarette butts must be disposed of designated disposal units.

Targets that reactively explode, or burn or cause any other fire or safety hazard as a result of being shot are strictly prohibited on the range. Some examples are; Tannerite, dynamite, TNT automobiles, gasoline, oil, etc.. Fire Extinguishers and shovels are located in all company vehicles and located on range firing line and are clearly marked. All large sponsored events must have a Type 6 Engine with two Red Carded firefighters on scene. An inspection by the Box Elder County Fire Marshal twice a year may be done for compliance. Instructor Requirements: Class briefings will include a review of the fire prevention rules that students must adhere to and their role they would play in a safety/fire response situation.
