6(b) APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE FOR WERNER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY 4600 GUENTHER ROAD FOR A SAND AND GRAVEL PUMPING OPERATION — Carstensen stated she had some concerns regarding the terms being the same as they were 10 years ago, she read some of the regulations from contract. Carstensen stated that one thing she finds odd about this in the past and in today is after speaking with Terry and going through this is Part G regarding their recycled materials and storing them on location and the volume of materials, Carstensen stated she doesn't know what that volume is? She stated if they want to modify or add something in agreement to regulate amount of material being stored. Lancaster-stated she can clearly remember that when they discussed this conditional use permit she noted the Board room was full of parents that were concerned because of the school being very close to this area, and they originally had in mind the asphalt melt as well, Lancaster stated this was awful and these are some of the parameters that the parents really wanted listed in there. Quandt-stated he believed they had asphalt melting and that is what they were worried about, they put it in there to make sure it was a gravel operation and not tearing up highways and brining it there and grinding it, he stated that was reason why they left that in the contract. Mr. Quandt stated that when the Board gave them that conditional use permit someplace there was an estimate of how many tons were in that pile. Carstensen then stated that holding off for two weeks for more information and can issue in two weeks and can always back date the permit to March 17, 2020 which is when the other one expired, if that would be beneficial for everyone to have this out there and to clean up that little portion of it so everybody knows what the expectation is moving forward both Werner and Hall County. Lancaster-stated that was a great idea to hold up for two weeks and do a little more research on it. Quandt stated to Carstensen that it was his understanding that there was a question rather the board can regulate the number of vehicles Carstensen stated that she had some concerns, but does understand how and why they did it in the past, she had some documentation from Werner about them paying into Hall County, she stated that their operation has changed over the years, and at the time of agreement they did have vehicles that were in this area or housed here, and that may have been part of that agreement. Carstensen stated that her concern is these trucks are housed in other counties as well primarily Adams county, she stated the state statue as to where you pay your registration as to do with where you vehicles are primarily located, she thinks it would be odd to try and have them pay taxes in our county where we get a part of the proceeds, but deprive Adams county or some other county part of proceeds they would receive by way of a conditional use permit, she stated she had some real concerns with that.
