bike clubs and individual "bikers" who use the 115 Southwestern Corridor as a major <br />thoroughfare due to the area's geographic and aesthetic appeal. <br />• Currently there are four existing quarries within a 5 mile radius; these quarries are currently <br />operating at roughly half their capacity. A better plan; and a plan that would have less impact to <br />the community and surrounding area would be to expand the existing quarries. This would also <br />be consistent with the Master Plan — Southwestern/Highway 115 Comprehensive Plan. <br />• Wildlife, wildlife habitats, wildlife migratory paths and biodiversity will be impacted. An <br />objective environmental study needs to be completed, rather than take the word of the <br />applicant, that there are no endangered species located on the land or nearby lands. The <br />proposed quarry site is likely in violation of the federal and State Endangered Species Act. The <br />Mexican Spotted Owl is state listed in the Southwestern/Highway 115 Corridor. <br />• Moving dirt and extracting rock from the ground alters the flow of water runoff The abutting <br />neighborhoods depend strictly on well water supplies for all their water needs. There is <br />potential for well contamination and/or damage, or complete loss from nearby blasting, <br />contamination from blowing dust, and water runoff. <br />Quarrying requires heavy equipment, blasting, drilling, earthmoving, all of which create noise and dust, <br />and, would certainly diminish the quality of life and well-being of the adjacent landowners and <br />surrounding area. Southwestern/Highway 115 Corridor's unparalleled natural beauty will be <br />compromised and the landscape densely populated with quarries and their side effects. The 115 <br />Southwestern Highway area is currently taxed by the activities and traffic associated with Fort Carson, <br />Cheyenne Mountain State Park, RV Parks, and privately owned parks opened to the public, within the <br />surrounding area. <br />Protection of the land, environment, and public health, safety, and wellbeing is consistent with our <br />constitutional rights. The Highlands, in alliance with the "Highway 115 Citizen's Advisory Committee", <br />the citizens and the fellow neighborhoods along the corridor, is strongly opposed to the proposed quarry <br />development. <br />On behalf of the twenty three properties within the Highlands and its Board of Directors, I submit this <br />protest to the potential granting of Permit 2016010 to Transmit Mix. <br />Highlands of Turkey Canon Ranch Homeowners Association <br />15795 Phantom Canyon View <br />Colorado Springs, CO 80926 <br />
