Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> I am a resident of the Dos Rios subdivision that will be directly impacted by the proposed development by Varra <br /> Companies'Two Rivers Sand,Gravel and Reservoir Project, File#M2022013. <br /> I have several concerns with the application submitted for review. <br /> Our Dos Rios neighbors—whose property is approximately thirty feet across the road from the proposed <br /> property development—were not notified directly but learned about it by happenstance.Once our neighbors <br /> alerted us,we contacted Mr.Janes who kindly provided my husband with a copy of the application. Mr.Varra <br /> responded to our calls and plans to meet with us—after the deadline date. I am at a loss as to why they did not <br /> contact us before submitting the proposal to the Division of Reclamation or include us directly in the notification <br /> process so that we could all reach an understanding of the needs of Mr.Varra and the people who live here. <br /> Ever since Weld County decided to pave the road in the flood plain of the Big Thompson and South Platte <br /> Rivers,our quiet roadway has become a raceway.There is one posted notice by Mr.Varra on the south side of <br /> 54th Street Road where anyone driving eastbound would be focused on the upcoming curves in the road, <br /> oncoming vehicles,and impatient vehicles passing—across the double-yellow line—those of us who drive the <br /> 30-mph posted speed limit. Driving westbound,an upcoming hill keeps the attention of the driver on the road for <br /> the same reasons noted above.The notice is set at the entry to the silage pits where unwanted trash and <br /> furniture are periodically left at night-time by residents not from this area.What neighbor would have thought <br /> this notice was anything other than a"no dumping"notice?Other than pulling into the private property's <br /> entryway where vehicle tires are piled,there is no safe place to pull over along the roadside to read a notice as <br /> the road drops off steeply on both sides.Several notices were posted along unpaved WCR 396 where few <br /> drivers go.These notices are bound by a zip-tie around property posts.A relatively flimsy single white piece of <br /> paper with black text is insufficient to capture the attention of those of us who live here and drive frequently <br /> along this road.There is no posting date or deadline date noted on this notice. <br /> The Legal Notices section of the Greeley Tribune had posted four notices.Although they specify the location by <br /> legal description,there is no common language to indicate that it would be on the south side of 54th Street <br /> Road between 65th Avenue and WCR 396 across from our Dos Rios subdivision.What would have alerted any <br /> of our few neighborhood readers of the often-undelivered Tribune paper to understand that this proposed <br /> development was either pending or was to be right next door? <br /> I ask that the permit process be delayed until all the impacted neighbors—over forty homes in the only <br /> neighborhood in the area—be notified by and meet with Mr.Varra and have a chance to express our concerns <br /> over the projected placement of this industrial processing area that will no doubt create problems that the <br /> Division of Reclamation says is beyond the scope of the application. <br /> Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br /> Sincerely, Catherine M.Olmsted <br /> Permit Number* <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M1977999, M1999777UG or C1981201. <br /> M2022013 <br /> Permitting Action Type <br /> Select revision type or leave blank if comment pertains to a new permit application or NOI <br /> Permit Type <br /> County <br /> Weld <br /> Enter one county only <br /> Site Name <br /> Two Rivers Sand,Gravel and Reservoir Project <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> Garrett C.Varra <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> Are there supporting photos, maps, or documents you wish to upload? <br /> Yes • No <br />
