Director of Planning Costa
DATE: September 17, 1984 Coin l y
SUBJECT: Knox La Rue-Land Use Permit 2203-75
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
On August 28, 1984, a hearing before the County Planning Commission was scheduled
to determine whether cause exists to revoke the land use permit held by Mr. Knox La Rue
for communication facilities on Mt. Diablo (see attached July 17th letter). This
hearing was rescheduled to September 11th.
On September llth , the Planning Commission hearing was continued to October 9th (see
attached letter of September 12th).
The outstanding concerns remaining on the subject permit are limited to the acceptance
of the biotic inventory, the undergrounding of the power line between Sites 4 and
5 and removal of old power lines and some miscellaneous painting and clean up.
The required biotic inventory/report has been received and circulated to interested
parties including representatives of Save Mt. Diablo for review and comment. Written
and oral comments have been received and indicate basic acceptance of what was sub-
mitted.
The applicant contacted the State Park Department regarding the method and timing of
the clean up of the spill at Site 3 and submitted a letter to Mr. William Beat,
Superintendent of Mt. Diablo State Park, confirming the method of clean up proposed
which Mr. Beat has subsequently said has been taken care of satisfactorily. In
addition, the applicant has made the alterations necessary to prevent any further
spills. The new power line and transformer were installed the week of September 4th
and old power lines are to be removed as soon as final clearance by P.G. and E. are
given on the new one. As a result of the staff field trip, additional requests were
made of the applicant including painting of some mechanical equipment, shielding of
a building light and the need to install a vehicle barricade at Site 6.
We are attaching copies of the following correspondence for your further information:
two letters from Knox La Rue dated July 20th and one dated August 21st; letter from
Save Mt. Diablo dated August 9th.
Following the scheduled October 9th hearing before the County Planning Commission
we will further report to the Board of Supervisors.
Please place this item before the Board for their information.
