South Hinsdale Response to Objections <br /> 12 July 2022 <br /> (3)Objection: will destroy"natural beauty and many adventure paths that Pagosa Springs <br /> has to offer." See Section 5.4.2. We are unaware of any "adventure paths"that exist in the <br /> 9.4 acre area proposed to be affected, which is private property. <br /> 3.29 Jim and Kathy Tubbesing <br /> List of two (2) claims and two (2) objections. <br /> Claims: <br /> (1) Claim: location - no other towns/areas that have great scenic drives have gravel pits <br /> right on those roads See Section 5.1.2 and 5.4.2 This is not correct. <br /> (2) Claim: viewshed/traffic -gravel pit will completely destroy "the charm and character of <br /> the Piedra Road" See Section 5.1, 5.2, and 5.4.2. Other commenters characterize the <br /> "charm and character"as being dangerous, unsafe, and in need of rebuilding and constant <br /> repair. <br /> Objections <br /> (1) Objection: traffic—"tremendous amount'—more congested than it is today See Section <br /> 5.3 <br /> (2) Objection: viewshed — completely change the look of Piedra Road for the worse See <br /> Section 5.4.2 The proposed pit has about 700 feet of frontage on Piedra Road and may <br /> probably be seen from up to 1-2 miles of the 25+ miles of road from Pagosa to Williams <br /> Reservoir. <br /> 3.30 James Tubbesing Ryter <br /> Repeated the comments of Section 3.29 Jim and Kathy Tubbesing virtually word for word. <br /> See item 3.29 above for responses. <br /> 3.31 Jason Smith <br /> Repeated the comments of Section 3.29 Jim and Kathy Tubbesing virtually word for word. <br /> See item 3.29 above for responses. <br /> 3.32 Daniel Shaeffer <br /> List of two (2) suggestions and two (2)objections. <br /> Suggestions: <br /> (1) Suggestion: limit all noisy operations to'off-season" with no activity between Memorial <br /> Day and Labor Day See Sections 5.3 and 5.7. Thank you for this suggestion, which <br /> unfortunately is not workable. First, mining is not feasible nor safe during the peak winter <br /> months (Jan/Feb/Mar/early Apr) so this would limit operations to less than % the year. <br /> Second, the construction projects and maintenance and repair of roads and other surfaces <br /> is generally done during the summer months. Third, equipment and personnel(operators) <br /> are tight and expected to be so for the life of this operation and therefore it may not be <br /> possible to schedule in the short periods. As much as possible, the operation WILL try <br /> and schedule the few weeks of actual crushing and screening to either May or <br /> September/October; but loading and hauling cannot be so tightly scheduled. <br /> (2) Suggestion: no truck traffic between Memorial Day and Labor Day or at minimum, limit <br /> number of days per week and hours of operation Again, thank you for the suggestions. <br /> 5182-22-003 WAST£LINE, INC.
