Whenever an owner/operator succeeds to the interest of another owner/operator by sale, assignment, lease, or other means, the Planning Commission may release the first owner/operator from his, her, or their responsibilities under his, her, or their approved plans as described above, including surety, provided the successor owner/operator assumes all of the responsibilities of the former owner/operator to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission under the approved conditional use permit and the posting of surety. Upon satisfactory assumption of such responsibilities by the successor owner/operator, under conditions approved by the Planning Commission, the responsibility of the total excavation site and permit shall be transferred to the successor owner/operator. Any owner/operator succeeding to the interest of another owner/operator by sale, assignment, lease or other means, in a legally existing non-conforming use as referenced in § 155.356, above, shall enjoy the same privileges and be bound by the same restrictions as the transferring owner/operator.
