Murray County approves two interim permits for Muecke Sand & Gravel with special conditions on wetlands and traffic
Summary
The board approved two interim use permits for Muecke Sand & Gravel in Belfast Township (NE1/4 and NW1/4 of Section 1), adding conditions including cooperation with Murray County Soil & Water after wetland concerns were raised.
After a Planning Commission public hearing on March 19, the Murray County Board of Commissioners on April 7 approved two interim use permits for Muecke Sand & Gravel, Inc. to operate gravel mining on parcels in Belfast Township.
Interim Use Permit #1434 lets the company open and operate in the Agriculture District on part of the NE1/4 of Section 1, subject to eight special conditions recommended by the Planning Commission; board members noted traffic to the site is limited to required uses and that landowners will be asked to contact the company directly if concerns arise.
Interim Use Permit #1436 grants similar authorization for part of the NW1/4 of Section 1, which lies in the Agriculture, Shoreland Overlay and Floodplain Overlay Districts. Murray County Soil & Water submitted written comments raising concerns about wetlands; the Planning Commission added a ninth special condition requiring Muecke Sand & Gravel to work with Soil & Water to resolve any outstanding wetland issues. The planning record indicates an agreement has already been signed by both parties.
Both permits passed on motions recorded by the board; the approvals incorporate the findings and conditions recommended by the Planning Commission. The board did not record further mitigation details beyond the special conditions and the Soil & Water agreement noted in the Planning Commission materials.
