Mr. Marshall Green, lawyer representing Cotton property, expressed that
although not opposed to these proposed amendments, there was concern
that Council should consider that the two aggregate operations be able to
compliment one another, i.e. sharing construction water, the haul route
issue, etc.
Concerns were expressed by Mr. Ted Duncan with respect to water
recharging, the protection of the land and returning it back to its natural
state, the entrances to the pits and the haul route, etc.

Mr. Bill Fitzgerald, representing Truax Aggregates commented with regard
to the expansion, that there will be no tonnage increase, the haul route will
not change, monitoring the wells on site, etc. He made note that Mr.
Truax will not change the entrances, and that Mr. Truax paid for the road
improvements himself. The area is heavily wooded and forested, and the
property will be returned to its natural condition in the future. He assured
the audience that there are no conflicting uses with this proposal.
There being no further questions and/or comments, this public meeting
adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
