The Price County Land Use/UW-Extension Committee voted June 18 to approve a Conditional Use Permit for Janak & Sons to operate a gravel pit on E. Solberg Lake Road, adopting a list of 16 conditions the committee amended during deliberations.
Committee discussion referenced communications with the Department of Natural Resources and an opposition email from the law firm Weld Riley S.C. The committee amended condition 7 to require, “This vegetative buffer shall be planted with a minimum of 3 rows of coniferous trees by the date of September 1, 2027,” and reduced the access road width requirement under that condition from 60 feet to 50 feet. Committee members also added condition 16 requiring that “The existing solid waste disposal sites shall be marked with some form of permanent markers with sign to deter encroachment. All DNR administrative rules shall be adhered to regarding the existing waste disposal sites.”
Motion text and roll call are recorded in the minutes: Motion by Doug Erickson, second Michelle Drobnik to approve the amended conditions, followed by a motion by Erickson/Drobnik to approve the CUP. The roll-call vote was Yes (4): Drobnik, Erickson, Kopisch, Ulrich; No (1): Jenifer Baratka. The minutes record the motion as carried.
