NOTICE! A PUBLIC HEARING ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2014

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN: The Planning Commission of Eureka Township will hold a public hearing on Monday, November 24, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. in the Eureka Town Hall located at 25043 Cedar Avenue. The purpose of the hearing is to consider the following application:

A text amendment of Ordinance 6, Mining Ordinance to address only Level 3 Interim Mining Permits (new permits).
Ordinance 6, Chapter 3 Definitions, Principal Use
Second sentence, delete the words “or ready-mix concrete plant”

Ordinance 6, Chapter 7, Section 2. K, Accessory Uses
Third sentence, delete the words “or ready-mix concrete production plant”  

                                                        *******************
Ordinance 6, Sect. 3.C. Levels 3 Permit:

Level 3 Permit. This permit applies to operations that will exceed ten (10)
acres of excavated area to a maximum depth to be determined by the  approved site plan, but not to exceed 1 foot above the water table unless
the end use is to be a lake or a wetland.
                       **************
For additional information on Mining as it pertains to Eureka, see Ordinance 6 of the Eureka Ordinances on the Eureka Township web site.



THIS PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT WOULD ALLOW A READY-MIX CONCRETE PLANT AS THE PRINCIPLE USE. SHOULD THIS TYPE OF A COMMERCIAL USE BE ALLOWED IN AN AGRICULTURAL ZONE? HOW WOULD THIS OPERATION AFFECT ROADS ON HAUL ROUTES, "FLY ASH" THAT CAN CONTAIN MERCURY, LEAD, ARSENIC AND CADMIUM AS WELL AS OTHER POSSIBLE CONCERNS?

 PLEASE ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING TO WEIGH IN, EXPRESS YOUR OPINION OR JUST LISTEN TO THE PROS AND CONS WHICH WILL HELP DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF THE TEXT AMENDMENT REQUESTED BY MR. KENNY MILLER.
