F w <br />Mine Land <br />Room 723, <br />Denver, Co <br />Gentlemen: <br />• III III IIIIIIIIII III • <br />March 20, 1980 <br />and Reclamation Board <br />1313 Sherman St. <br />. 80203 <br />Recently I received notice that application has been made for <br />I believe a gravel pit on Glen Chambers' property in Section 14 <br />and Section 11, North of the Colorado River. I am the property <br />owner immediately to the east of this proposed project. <br />With this letter, I would like to officially object to such a <br />proposal. I have contacted the applicants and asked them to send <br />me a plan or map of what they intend to do, however, they have not <br />sent me any such master plan. Additionally, I have visited the <br />site and seen the condition that it is in. Enclosed are some <br />photographs of what I saw. To date the work has been done with <br />no apparent master plan or effort to restore the land to any <br />particular natural state. Additionally the way in which some <br />of the gravel is piled up I believe is a liability. Any children <br />playing around there could hurt themselves seriously by falling <br />off these piles. <br />I question the need for such a gravel pit, as it was only a few <br />years ago that the county sold land back to me that they had been <br />holding for a gravel operation. One of the reasons they sold it <br />back to me was that they claimed that there was no need in that <br />area for additional gravel mining. <br />Finally since I am immediately to the east and since the wind is <br />predominantly from the west, I would like to object as I feel we <br />will suffer some dust from this operation. <br />In the future probably at some point, the county will need additional <br />gravel, however, I don't think any approval should be granted without <br />showing all the neighbors as well as satisfying appropriate city and <br />county boards that a proper master plan will be implemented and that <br />the land will be restored in an attractive fashion. To date what <br />has happened is not exemplary of such an approach or attitude. <br />Consequently as the neighbor to the east I would like to object to <br />this approval. Thank you for your time. <br />c~o r <br />Il// G <br />ohn P. McB i e <br />JPMcB:jmr <br />AIRPORT BUSINESS CENTER • 105 PACIFIC AVE. ASPEN COLORAD081611 •30925-2102 <br />
