I <br />CONCRETE /NC. <br />Exhibit D: Mining Man <br />See also Exhibit C "Mining Plan Map." <br />The future use of the existing land is for residential development. The City of Florence is the <br />closest municipal district in the area and has seen limited growth in the last several years. It is <br />our intention to create a development of the modern age with newer high-end homes not <br />commonly found in the local area. The property is "off the beaten path" and secluded enough to <br />make one feel like they are deep in the country -side, yet only a few minutes away from a historic <br />shopping district, a great school district, emergency services, sustainable jobs, and a neat little <br />community. <br />As of 2020 the only access into the property is from County Road 79. Since the majority of the <br />prime building locations are on top of an elevated mesa, it is necessary to cut an access road into <br />the property for adequate egress. The initial plan was to simply cut a switch back into the side of <br />the mesa, in an East to West fashion, to gain access to the upper mesa. However, after studying <br />the contour of the land and how mother nature responds to the area, it was decided an access <br />road into the North side of a plateau not a good idea and would cause access issues in the winter <br />months. The grade is too steep within the confinements of the property boundaries and the snow <br />will not melt off it in the winter months. And, since the easement trench is already slicing the <br />development property in half, it made more sense to utilize it as a road. Also, the majority of <br />subdivisions have utilities located in the roads anyway for maintenance access. <br />It was also recently decided that potential development of the land might yield less resistance <br />from adjacent property owners if newly developed homes were built in a manner as to not block <br />the views of the existing residences located in the High Meadows subdivision adjacent to the <br />Southern border of the property. In order to achieve this, excavating the entire site down will <br />allow the future homes to be located at an elevation lower than that of the existing residences in <br />the area. Thereby allowing existing homes to "look over" the newly developed home sites. <br />This will also bring the new developments closer to a water feature in the area. The Minnequa <br />Canal runs parallel to the property on the North East boundary. The canal flows West to East. If <br />the area is excavated out and the new homes are placed at an elevation closer to the canal, the <br />value of the properties has the potential to increase in value. History has shown that "water <br />front" property can fetch a better dollar value per acre than that of non. <br />Langston Concrete Inc. Plans on removing material from the East side of the existing sanitary <br />sewer right-of-way to begin with. This activity will foster an access road into the area where the <br />rest of the material removal activity will occur. The operation will occur from North to South. <br />And be just wide enough to gain access with a road. <br />Once the East side is complete, we plan on moving the material removal operation to the West <br />side of the existing sanitary sewer right-of-way. This operation will also occur in a North to <br />902 South Union Street Florence, Co. 81226 (719) 784-3878 Office (719) 784-1158 Fax <br />
