This plan shall include the surrounding area within 500 feet of the property boundary line, drawn to an appropriate scale with contour lines at intervals of five feet or less.
   (B)   Development standards.
      (1)   No mining of sand and gravel shall be carried on, or any stock pile placed closer than 50 feet to any property line, or such greater distance as specified by the Board of Zoning Appeals, where such is deemed necessary for the protection of adjacent property, except that this distance requirement may be reduced by the written consent of the owner or owners of abutting property, but in any event, adequate lateral support shall be provided for the abutting property.

      (1)   All excavation shall be made either to a water-producing depth, such depth to be not less than five feet below the water mark, or shall be graded or backfilled with non-noxious, non-combustible, and non-flammable solids, to secure:
         (a)   That the excavated area shall not collect, and permit to remain therein, stagnant water; or,
         (b)   That the surface of the area which is not permanently submerged is graded or backfilled as necessary so as to reduce the peaks and depressions thereof so as to produce a gently rolling surface that will minimize erosion due to rainfall and which will be in substantial conformity to the adjoining land area.
      (2)   The banks of all sand and gravel excavations in a water-producing excavation, and to the pit bottom in a dry operation, shall be sloped to the water line, at a slope which will not be less than three feet horizontal to one foot vertical, and the banks shall be restored with vegetation in a manner set forth in § 152.197(C)(3).

      (4)   Proper drainage shall be provided for the mined-out area.
      (5)   All equipment and structures shall be removed from the mined-out area within six months of the completion of the mining therefrom.
      (6)   The Board of Zoning Appeals may impose such other reasonable conditions and restrictions as it may deem necessary for the protection of the public and to encourage the mining and processing of the sand and gravel from the authorized area.
      (7)   Due to the inherent difficulties in reclaiming and rehabilitating areas from which stone has been quarried, the Board of Zoning Appeals is hereby empowered, in the issuance of a conditional use permit for quarrying operations, to impose such reasonable standards for reclamation as may be necessary to protect the public interest, without unduly restricting the operations of the mine owner.

      (1)   Identification of similar facilities presently existing within the village and contiguous jurisdictions and confirmation that the siting of the facility is compatible with the Residential Care Opportunities Guide for Montgomery County;
      (2)   A license or evidence of ability to obtain a license, if such is required, from the pertinent governmental unit prior to operation. Prior to the issuance of a final certificate of occupancy, the operator or agency shall provide evidence that a valid license has been issued or is obtainable for the proposed conditional use on the subject property. If licensing is not required, an affidavit from the applicant so stating shall be presented;
      (3)   A copy of the sponsoring agency's operational and occupancy standards and a detailed plan for services and programs; and
      (4)   A site plan for the proposed home indicating home structure outline and floor plan, off-street parking provisions, driveway access, landscaping and screening provisions, recreational and open space facilities as well as other pertinent information which the Board of Zoning Appeals may require. Such plan shall include sufficient information to indicate that the proposed site will be compatible with the character of the neighborhood.
   (B)   Facility requirements.
      (1)   Every room occupied for sleeping purposes within the home shall contain a minimum of 80 square feet of habitable room area for one occupant, and when occupied by more than one person, shall contain at least 60 square feet of habitable room area for each occupant.

         (a)   Common indoor area shall consist of at least 25 square feet per individual.

         (f)   No facility shall be permitted within 1,500 feet of another community-oriented residential social service facility or halfway house. The Board of Zoning Appeals may reduce this standard if the applicant can show that, due to unique conditions, a reduction of the separation requirement will not contribute to the concentration of such facilities. (For example, the proposed site is located in a distinctly different neighborhood which is separated from an existing site by a freeway or the site is in an area that does not constitute a typical residential neighborhood due to a diversity of land uses.)
         (g)   The facility must be reviewed by the Fire Chief or a certified fire safety inspector.

      (1)   Complies with all the applicable facilities requirements;
      (2)   Is in fact a community-based residential social service facility or halfway house licensed by an agency of the state (and respective jurisdiction). If such licensing is not required, an affidavit so stating has been presented to document this statement;
      (3)   Is approved by the local agency responsible for providing support services and/or programs to the facility;
      (4)   Will be designed, constructed, and maintained so that such use will not change the general character of the area and operated in compliance with relevant licensing or certification standards;
      (5)   Will not be within 1,500 feet of another community-oriented residential social service facility or halfway house, unless this standard is varied by the Board of Zoning Appeals to a lesser distance based upon stated findings of fact;
      (6)   Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer, and schools; or that the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use shall be able to provide adequately any such services; and
      (7)   Will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be designed to prevent any undo interference with traffic on surrounding public streets.
