I live in the area called Red <br /> Rock Valley Estates, which is just north to the proposed quarry site. I've been a resident there <br /> for 24 years and I have a hard time believing a company as large as TM would stoop so low in <br /> upsetting a country side neighborhood with so many homes nearby. <br /> Their application jeopardizes the water resources in my neighborhoods If I can't get water then <br /> my property value will significantly drop. I don't know of anyone who would want that for the <br /> home they spent so much money,time,and effort working for. <br /> Their intent causes so many concerns for the neighbors here. The application violates <br /> easement rights of property owners along Little Turkey Creek Road, where my sister and <br /> brother in-law bought their home and land for horses. The quarry would also interrupt the <br /> natural wildlife habitat,which would be a crying shame to this vast beautiful mountain area, <br /> which is so close to the city. <br /> The increased traffic on 115 alone would be of greater harm to the wildlife crossing the road. <br /> Already I see at least two dead animals on a weekly basis along the highway. There was a <br /> deadly motorcycle accident near my home due to the dirt on the highway and the curves. <br /> More trucks will just create more rock on the highway. <br /> I am also upset over the noise this will create. The blasting,the truck traffic noise, and the <br /> potential for flying loose rock when blasting does occur.TM's plans were downsized; however, <br /> it would be easy for them to gain approval later to expand. <br /> I request the pre-hearing conference and MLRB bearing to be conducted in Colorado Springs. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Tamara S. McCullough <br /> 11815 Calle Corvo; Colorado Springs, CO 80926 <br /> 719-360-1704, McCuilough.Tamara@ymail.com <br />
