§ 190-119. Extraction of stone, sand and gravel.  


Latest version.
  • Extractive operations shall not be conducted closer than 300 feet to the adjacent property. A location map which shows land to be quarried or mined and the location of adjacent properties, roads and natural features shall be filed with the Building Inspector. A plan for the restoration of the land, including anticipated future use of the restored land, the proposed final topography indicated by contour lines of no greater interval than five feet, steps which will be taken to conserve the topsoil, and the location of future roads, drainage courses or other improvements contemplated shall be submitted to the Planning Board for approval. Upon approval of the plan, the Building Inspector shall issue a use permit for a period of two years. Application for renewal of the permit shall be made to the Planning Board. The Building Inspector shall extend the permit from year to year if the Planning Board finds that restoration of the landscape is proceeding at a pace commensurate with the earth-removal operations.
