§ 113.02 STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE PURPOSE.
   The Board of Commissioners, having duly considered the effect of the operation, the economic benefit, and all relevant factors, finds that the operation of facilities for the loading and unloading of coal, sand, gravel, or a combination thereof, tends to cause environmental and atmospheric pollution, promotes the destruction of public roads, bridges, and other public ways, creates excessive noise and traffic congestion, and adversely affects the aesthetic appearance of the city. The Board further finds that the imposition of the minimum license fee set forth in § 113.04 is reasonable in view of the stated adverse effects these particular facilities have upon the city.
