-304- Mr. 3W__tke Rolfe, 634t - 172nd Lane N'.W., stated that a mining permit will mean that there will be a gravel pit. He asked for assurance that there will be no production of crushed rock material, bituminous or ready mix materia/s. Nit, Thompson stated that he is not setting up asphalt production. I-lis proposal is to level the hill. The elevation is currently at 899, and he proposes to cut 2 down to 874.
