SEWELL 2670 West Union NATURAL PRODUCTION USE Gravel Excavation CASE #14-66 Mrs. Romans stated that Mr. Sewell had been referred to the Commission by the Building Depart ment for approval of a proposed gravel excavation at 2670 West Union Avenue. The property is zoned for light industry. Mr. Rice asked if the excavation would be operated on Mr. Sewell's prope~ty only? ~r. Sewell replied it would be in the northeast corner of his property. He has a person interes ~ed in buying the gravel and is considering, at this time, a contract for two acres to be e xcavated no deeper than water level. Mr. Parkinson asked what safe-gua r ds were imposed on gravel arrl sand excavation operations? Mrs. Romans stated there were no g ravel excavations within the City limits, but there were in the area just north of Union in the county. She stated she would have to recommend adequate fencing and posting of the si t e as a safety measure fo r children. Another factor for consideration is the use of the p r oper ty after the gravel ex- cavation ceases. In some instances, if a lake has been created, the site has been considered as a recreational facility. It was pointed out that this site is adjacent to property bein g acquired by the City for a park; it was suggested that the request should possibly be refer r ed to the Park Commission for their consideration, and the residents of the surrounding area be given an opportunity to voice an opinirn. Mr. Parkinson asked if possibly it should also be referred to the City of Littleton, which adjoins the property on the south.
