4) On page 62 the application states "Eagle Rocks has committed with <br /> the town to build acceleration and deceleration lanes for the new <br /> access."We request that the approval of this application also include a <br /> requirement that Eagle Rocks constructs appropriate left turn lanes as <br /> well as part of this traffic design. This will also be part of their access <br /> permit with Gypsum. <br /> 5) On page 17 regarding revegetation we request that this seed mix is <br /> chosen based upon their drought tolerances. This mix may be <br /> comparable to a Dryland Pasture mix, but if not we request this <br /> consideration so that it provides the durability and resistance to our <br /> mountain desert climate. Additionally, revegetation does quite poorly <br /> in Gypsum unless it has some temporary irrigation to get the seeds <br /> well germinated and established. <br /> 6) Holy Cross has provided a letter to serve the site. We request that any <br /> permanent services provided to the property be located underground. <br /> 7) Unfortunately this type of activity incurs a tremendous amount of dust <br /> from excavation, processing, and truck driving not to mention the <br /> extreme winds that occur here. We request that the county require a <br /> very aggressive dust control plan to minimize dust from this site 24/7. <br /> The site is immediately adjacent to Highway 6, the Eagle County <br /> Regional Airport, the High Altitude Aviation Training Site, and close <br /> to existing residents and future high-density residential sites. We want <br /> to avoid traffic accidents due to poor visibility (such as the fatality that <br /> occurred years ago caused by dust from a project much further away <br /> than this site). <br /> Again, we appreciate the opportunity to review land use applications submitted to <br /> your office. Please let me know if you have any questions. <br /> ZSincerel , <br /> L ryce, MPA, AICP <br /> Community Development Director <br /> 5o Lundgren Blvd. PHONE 970-524-1729 <br /> PO Box 130 FAX 970524-7679 <br /> 1440 <br /> wn of Gypsum,CO 81637 EMAIL lana@townofgypsum.com <br /> Psum <br /> EST I911 <br /> USA WEBSITE www.townofgypsum.com <br /> 2 <br />
