No Alternatives. <br /> Residents in close proximity to the proposed quarry have no other alternatives but their status quo. They have but <br /> one source of water,their individual wells. They have but one route of ingress and egress to their properties,Little <br /> Turkey Creek Road. They have but one transportation corridor into and out of the community,Highway 115. <br /> Even routine operations of a Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry will have a significant impact on residents. <br /> For example, blasting operations,which Transit Mix proposes to conduct two or three times each week,will <br /> require closing Little Turkey Creek Road,precluding the owners and residents of 43 lots from leaving or <br /> returning to their properties. <br /> More severe occurences run the risk of closing the only highway and/or effectively sealing off access to properties <br /> in the area. <br /> While we understand the importance of aggregate to a growing Colorado Springs community,we feel our unique <br /> community is already sufficiently burdened with three quarries operating in our midst,not to mention the constant <br /> training activities of our Fort Carson neighbors.We accept our current state of affairs.Bringing another large- <br /> scale quarry operation to our community is a bridge too far. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Lisa Pecoraro <br /> 16230 Cala Rojo Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80926 <br /> The Pinons of Turkey Canon Ranch <br /> 4 <br />
