April 13,2016 <br /> Subject: Resident opposition to the Hitch Ranch Quarry Project(application M-2016-10) <br /> Dear Ms.Eschberger, 4. 11„ � C h 50ki <br /> My name is Brian Gardiner and my wife, Betty,and I live at 2010 Roca Roja Circle,Colorado Springs,CO, <br /> 80926 in the Red Rock Valley subdivision. My telephone number is 719 337 9088. <br /> We have lived in Red Rock Valley since 1992 and I have been a firefighter on the Highway 115 Volunteer <br /> Fire Department for nearly twenty years. One of our duties in the Fire Department is to respond to <br /> traffic accidents and I have been witness to many serious and fatal accidents on the highway during my <br /> years of service. <br /> I have serious safety concerns about increasing the already heavy truck traffic on the highway. As you <br /> know,there are already several quarries to the south of us and there is a never ending stream of gravel <br /> trucks on the road. In addition to the safety aspect,noise pollution coming from the trucks has already <br /> seriously deteriorated our quality of life. <br /> I won't go into all of the other negative impacts to us that would occur if a large quarry is allowed in <br /> close proximity to a residential neighborhood. These would include noise,dust,water quality, <br /> diminished property values,etc.,etc. I'm sure my neighbors will all give you an earful. There is <br /> universal opposition to the project with the residents along the highway. <br /> Thank you, <br /> ; 9 <br /> Brian Gardiner <br /> f/ � <br /> Betty Gardiner <br />
