UNSCHEDULED ITEMNO, 4: RBCOIM8NDATION FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION RE: PRESERVATION OF KAISER RIDGE FROM FURTHER DESTRUCTION FROM MINING OPERATIONS. `' Staff noted that at the Planning Commission meeting of March 27th possible actions were discussed that might be taken to control the mining operation on the Kaiser Ridge, so that it is not lowered any more. It was noted that Kaiser representatives have indicated that their next 5 -year plan calls for lowering 1500' of the ridge line by 150' in elevation. They say this would be the last change made in the ridge line as this would open up the balance Of their limestone deposits to continue mining for approximately 20-25 years. The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council take appropriate steps to preserve the Kaiser Ridge through exerting pressure on the Board of Supervisors, the County Planning Commission, the Bay Area Air Pollution Control Board, and any other association or agency that could bring pressure on the Kaiser operation. Council reaffirmed previous action to request a public hearing before the Board of Supervisors to reopen the Kaiser Permanente Use Permit to consider air pollution, destruction of the Ridge, and the rehabilitation of the land mined.
