There are three factors which need to be <br />seriously considered before a permit is issued. They are: <br />1. Safety: If the gravel trucks take the proposed routes, they will either be <br />traveling on Road 21 or 124. If they use Road 21, they will be going through <br />the town of Carr to Road 126. They will be passing the Post Office where <br />traffic is the heaviest. The safety of the children in town should also be <br />considered. There is a bridge on 126 with a 15 ton weight limit. <br />If they take 124, they will be traveling over a very narrow road which can <br />become very muddy, sometimes impassable. This road also has a steep hill <br />which could become a safety hazard for oncoming traffic. <br />2. Dus[: No matter what time of the year it is in Carr, the wind blows. With <br />the anticipated number of trucks, the dust could be horrendous and road <br />maintenance would be continuous. You also must realize that approximately <br />1000 acres of grassland will be destroyed over a period of 30 years. With <br />the conservation efforts of the county, it seems that this would be in <br />direct opposition. <br />3. Noise: Carr has been a quiet community, but this will change if the gravel <br />pit is allowed. The noise from the trucks, in addition to the crusher, will <br />change our quality of life. Our property values will decrease. <br />We request that if you do issue this permit that you guarantee safety, that <br />dust be controlled, and that the noise be at an acceptable level. Perhaps the <br />land owner or Andesite Rock Company could provide a different route to Highway b5 <br />and I-25. <br />Sincerely, <br />7ITi~ . q 7~Z>xv. ~tfe~ 4~w~ <br />~crJr// 1 CD $'01011 <br />P.S. IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT WATER <br />COULD BE TAKEN FROPA LONE TREE CREEK AND OUR DOMESTIC WELLS. IF THIS <br />IS THE CASE, THE PEOPLE OF THE CARR COAIMUNITY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. <br />SCC /{E/•c PSG S%alG }~rre R'a4/f'lcNNL S . <br />~rj N/~tu iP~°S <br />
