Detailed description of the issue(s)* (') <br /> Please provide as much detail as possible. It is important to narrow down the issue(s). <br /> We received a letter from Mineral County on 5/04/2023 stating that Dianna Mouse is filing for a Conditional Use <br /> application for a commercial gravel processing plant.There is a public meeting regarding this on 5/10/23 at <br /> 5:30pm at the Mineral County Courthouse. Until we received the county's letter on 5/05/23 we have never been <br /> made aware of any request for permits,zoning or any legal actions that would allow a commercial gravel <br /> operation to conduct business in this pristine mountain area adjoining our property.We believed this to be an <br /> illegal operation.We submitted written objection to this application to the county(Janelle Kukuk)with photos <br /> and video on 5/08/23.We also contacted Janelle Kukuk at Mineral County on 5/08/23 and we were told that <br /> DMRS had already granted a permit in 2020 and that they had dropped the ball since 2020 and that this current <br /> application process and notification should have taken place at that time. <br /> We want to be very clear that if this is activity is allowed to proceed any longer it will continue to put our <br /> business in danger and may cause us to go out of business.We receive constant complaints from our guests <br /> that come here to enjoy a serene, restful vacation in the mountains of Wolf Creek, Colorado only to find that <br /> they'll be spending their vacation watching and listening to dump trucks pulling in and out of a gravel pit all day <br /> and breathing rock dust instead of fresh mountain air?The fact that a gravel pit could potentially be prioritized <br /> over a tourism business on Wolf Creek is a very bad sign for the future of this area.We have lived and been in <br /> business in this location since the 1960's and have gone out of our way to be good stewards of the beauty and <br /> serenity of this area.We could never have dreamed that we'd be discussing the possibility of a gravel pit <br /> operation being allowed in this location. <br /> We are not sure whether we should contact the property owners regarding this issue until the powers that be <br /> figure out how this oversight happened in the first place. <br /> We are willing to be reasonable but our business and the serenity of this area should not continue to be put in <br /> jeopardy due to government mistakes.We have already had to suffer through this nuisance for years. <br /> Have you contacted the operator or party conducting the operation? If yes, please provide details. <br /> Yes No <br /> If known, please provide the name of the operator or party conducting the operation. <br /> Dianna Mouse <br /> If known, please provide the Permit or NOI Number (le M1970111 or P1970111). <br /> Must be entered in the following format: M1970111 or P1970111 (No dashes allowed) <br /> M2020021 <br /> Have you contacted any other agencies or local governments related to this issue or issues?If so, <br /> please provide details. <br /> Yes No <br /> Details <br /> We've provided details regarding our communication with Mineral County in the"ISSUE"section above since a <br /> large part of our issue has to do with the county dropping the ball on this. <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> Are there supporting photos, maps, or documents you wish to upload? <br /> Yes No <br /> Attachments are accepted for informational purposes only.
