Any owner, lessee or other person, firm or corporation having an interest in mineral lands in any district may file with the Commission an application for authorization to mine minerals therefrom; provided, however, that he or she shall comply with all requirements of the district in which said property is located, and with the following additional requirements.
(A) Distance from property lines. No quarrying operation shall be carried on or any stock pile placed closer than 50 feet to any property line unless a greater distance is specified by the Commission where such is deemed necessary for the protection of adjacent property; provided that this distance requirement may be reduced to 25 feet by written consent of the owner or owners of the abutting property.
(B) Distance from public right-of-way. In the event that the site of the mining or quarrying operations is adjacent to the right-of-way of any public street or road, no part of such operation shall take place closer than 25 feet to the nearest line of such right-of-way.
(C) Fencing. Fencing shall be erected and maintained around the entire site or portions thereof where in the opinion of the Commission such fencing is necessary for the protection of the public safety, and shall be of a type specified by the Commission.
(D) Equipment. All equipment and machinery shall be operated and maintained in such manner as to minimize dust, noise and vibration. Access roads shall be maintained in dust-free condition by surfacing or other treatment.
(E) Processing. The crushing, washing and refining or other similar processing may be authorized by the Commission as an accessory use; provided, however, that such accessory processing shall not be in conflict with the use regulations or the district in which the operation is located.
