No Alternatives.Residents in close proximity to the proposed quarry have no other alternatives <br /> but their status quo.They have but one source of water,their individual wells.They have but one <br /> route of ingress and egress to their properties,Little Turkey Creek Road.They have but one <br /> transportation corridor into and out of the community,Highway 115.Even routine operations of a <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry will have a significant impact on residents.For example,blasting <br /> operations,which Transit Mix proposes to conduct two or three times each week,will require <br /> closing Little Turkey Creek Road,precluding the owners and residents of 43 lots from leaving or <br /> returning to their properties.More severe occurences run the risk of closing the only highway <br /> and/or effectively sealing off access to properties in the area. <br /> While we understand the importance of aggregate to a growing Colorado Springs community,we <br /> feel our unique community is already sufficiently burdened with three quarries operating in our <br /> midst,not to mention the constant training activities of our Fort Carson neighbors.We accept our <br /> current state of affairs.Bringing another large-scale quarry operation to our community is a <br /> bridge too far. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Anita Sickels <br /> 16299 Cala Rojo Dr <br /> Colorado Springs,CO 80926 <br /> The Pinons of Turkey Canon Ranch <br /> r-- <br /> �-� G 5 JjU 01 D12 e 1 <br /> 4 <br />
