From the transcript
Nick Staller, Wasilla, um, representing Kolasca QAP. Um, so the reason why we're requesting the variance is, as this was intended to be a, a gravel resource, um, through the auction, our main goal is to maximize the gravel that we can get out of the locations. And going to the typical code of, I believe it's 150 and 200 depending on property line versus right-of-way and easements, it substantially reduces, I want to say like 40%. It's not— it's a lot of reduction in the obtainable gravel that we can get. And our goal is is if this area is deemed as a viable location to have gravel pits, and they're coming harder and harder to, you know, acquire a permit, we'd like to stay in one as long as we can and get as much gravel out as we can without having to move around and, you know, buy other pieces of property down the road.
