•ry <br />L <br />CONCRETE INC. <br />South pattern. Again, just wide enough for a road. The removal of material in this area is <br />necessary for the protection of the existing facility structure already in place. The existing right- <br />of-way trench left over from the initial installation of the sanitary sewer line is currently failing <br />and eroding. It is also rather narrow. The existing earthen material is beginning to cover the <br />manholes. <br />We realize this issue is not our problem. However, in an effort to build a strong relationship, we <br />have offered to perform this service free of charge to the local sanitation district. It is a fair trade <br />as we are gaining better access to the mesa and they are gaining a clean right-of-way with less <br />maintenance liability. <br />There also exists an overhead utility line that runs across the property in a South East to North <br />West manner. This overhead utility line runs parallel with the sanitary sewer. This overhead <br />utility is what we would like to utilize as the majority of the Western boundary of the excavation. <br />After much consideration and cost association, we have come to the conclusion that attempting <br />to lower/move this utility will come at too high of a cost to outweigh the benefit. <br />Also, since homes cannot be built in the overhead utility right-of-way, there makes little <br />economic sense to alter the land as it is; only to not be able to build on it. Therefore, the area <br />within the overhead utility right-of-way will remain untouched and will become the remaining <br />feature of the mesa in the area for the newly developed homes to be built on. This will obviously <br />block the view of a few High Meadows subdivision residences on the Western edge of the <br />subdivision. However, as is the norm in reality, we have `given' a little by offering to lower the <br />homes on the Eastern edge of the property and will ask to `take' the grace and favor of the <br />neighboring subdivision to look the other way on the Western half. We believe this will not be <br />too much to ask for as the Western half of the High Meadows subdivision is currently <br />undeveloped and has remained that way for some time now. We all must give a little, as well as <br />take a little every now and then. It will also allow us the option to offer future home sites of <br />different value and character within the subdivision. We will have the "water -front" property on <br />the East available as well as the "mesa" building sites to the West. <br />Once the access road is developed and wide enough to be used, material removal operations will <br />work to the East to finish out the over -lot excavation of the "water -front" property. The <br />excavation will continue to the Eastern most boundary and should plateau out. <br />There will be no need for sloping for reclamation of any kind on the East side of the excavation. <br />A berm will be necessary for the duration of material extraction for safety compliance, but will <br />be removed once development activities commence. This will also apply to the Northern <br />boundary as the existing Minnequa Canal excavation. Since the majority of the property is on a <br />mesa, there is no sloping or shaping that will be necessary. The material will be pulled back into <br />the excavation and loaded on trucks and exported. Tandem axle dump trucks, semi -tractor <br />trailers, loaders and excavators will be utilized for the primary material removal activity. <br />On the Western and Southern boundary there will exist a need to back slope and reclaim these <br />borders. Some of the material excavated as overburden, and/or topsoil, on the property will be <br />902 South Union Street Florence, Co. 81226 (719) 784-3878 Office (719) 784-1158 Fax <br />
