~~~ II~I~~~~~I~~~I~~ <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />April 4, 1999 <br />1313 Sherman <br />Room 215 <br />Denver. CO 80203 <br />Dear Division of Minerals and Geology: <br />:~.~ <br />~ m~i~~' <br />DECEIVED <br />APR 0 7 1999 <br />.:,,,:a or Minerals 8 Ge010QY <br />I am writing in regards to a proposed gravel crushing operation at Soaring Eagle Ranch, <br />1972 Broadway in Grand Junction . <br />I own a house in the Independence Valley subdivision not far from the proposed gravel <br />crushing operation. 1 am opposed to the proposed project for several reasons. First, we <br />built our house in Independence Valley seeking privacy and quietness. I can not imagine <br />a gravel crushing operation not adding a substantial amount of noise to the surrounding <br />area. Second, the proposed project does nothing to support or increase existing property <br />value. If anything it would be looked at as a negative influence on the surrounding area. <br />Third, 1 don't know how Grand Junction and/or Mesa County could overlook the <br />potential traffic problem. Broadway is a two-lane road and already the traffic on this <br />road is a problem. It will only get worse with the amount of growth our area is <br />experiencing. A commercial project with trucks carrying gravel on Broadway will in all <br />likely hood make the traffic situation near unbearable. <br />I was very shocked to hear that a commercial enterprise could be located in this area. <br />There are numerous areas in Mesa County that commercial businesses could be together <br />leaving residential areas alone. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />George D. Gromke, D.O. <br />Cc. <br />Linda Laycock <br />2027 Baseline Drive <br />Grand Junction, CO 81503 <br />
