Once the grading - <br />plan is approved it should be valid until the operation is complete, <br />especially when you take into consideration that the permit can be revoked <br />by the city at any time for noncompliance.- Mr. Sauter stated that he also <br />does not agree with the export permit having to be applied for in <br />accordance with the city's mining ordinance and separate' from the grading <br />permit. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich replied that the reason for export permits is to address <br />environmental and transportation concerns that arise when moving material <br />off the property. Mr. Goodrich noted that when necessary', it is possible <br />that the export permit could be addressed along with the grading permit in <br />the platting process. Mr. Goodrich stated that the 3 year renewal <br />provision allows the city to review the status of the permit in <br />relationship to the changes that have taken place in the surrounding area <br />over that time period. <br /> <br />P & Z/Public Hearing/November 3, I987 <br /> <br />Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
