Sand and gravel mining or extraction, similar removal operations,
quarry excavating and land stripping may be permitted as a special
land use only in the A-1 district. When passing upon the application
for the location of a mining and/or extractive operation, the planning
commission must be satisfied that sufficient material to be mined
or extracted exists on the site in question to justify such operation
and that such use would not be detrimental to other permitted land
uses in the A-1 and adjoining zoning district as provided by the standards
set forth in this article. This section concerns only the location
of mining and extractive industry operations, licensing and operational
regulations being controlled by Ordinance No. 17 of the township.
