Mining operations shall not be conducted closer than 100 feet to the boundary of any zone where such operations are not permitted, or closer than 100 feet to the boundary of an adjoining property line, unless the written consent of the owner of the adjoining property is first secured in writing. Mining operations shall not be conducted closer than 100 feet to the right-of-way line of an existing or platted street, road or highway; except that, excavating may be conducted closer to the right-of-way line in order to match the contour of the existing or platted street, road or highway. The city may impose greater setbacks as a condition of the mining or interim use permit when there is a finding that this is required to protect adjoining property from negative impact and in order to protect health, safety or welfare of the general public. Additional setback requirements for bluff areas are contained in §§ 162.085 through 162.108 of this code of ordinances.
