requiring a ground sign. Mr. Scott f'elt 30' would be ideal.

The Planning Director said that he had no cbjection to the
use itself; it is legitimate in this Zone, provid.ed that
standard provisions to clean up the area after abandonment
of the operation, etc., are adhered to. HoWever, the
operation creates a traffic problem in Stevens Canyon Road
and Foothill Blvd. It should be investigated, �r:.��hzr an
operator of a gravel pit can be rnade to contribute to the
cost for necessary road improveme�ts, as other developers
are required to. We discussed sucn condif,ions in connec-
tion with a similar application within the City limits,
but the problem was not solved, as the �pplicant withdrew.
The Planning Commission decided to instruct the Planning
Staff to appear before the County P�anning Commission and
present these views.
