October 29, 2006 <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />REEF ~~I~D <br />OCT 312005 <br />pivision of Reolamatlon, <br />Niinmg and 5afery <br />Denver, CO 80203 )tE: Proposed Glade Co. Building Materials Site Permit <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />The purpose of this letter is to address the proposal of the Glade Co. to put in a `building <br />materials' site on the east side of Highway 287 just north of Ft. Collins. <br />We are residents in Livermore (Glacier View) and travel Highway 287 on a daily basis <br />on out commutes to/from our work. The natural environment in the azea is beautiful and <br />one that we believe needs to be preserved. There is already one `building materials' site <br />just north of this azea; and, the visual impact on the environment is becoming more and <br />more visible as time goes on as they remove more `building materials' from the ridge. <br />Even though there is a sense that there will be `reclamation' of the land, it seems <br />ludicrous to think that the land would be reclaimed when so much of it is being removed. <br />We don't believe the Glade Co. project would be any different and would just add to the <br />environmental impact of the azea. Therefore, we are highly opposed to the Glade Co. <br />being issued a permit for their project. <br />In addition, we have recently driven the Masonville Road between Masonville and <br />Highway 34; in Loveland. The company that is taking slate and rock from the ridge has <br />completely altered the natural environment. From discussions with residents in that azea, <br />it has been very distressing to them that this occurring because the visual impact has been <br />so negative. And, from personal experience, it has saddened us to see such a negative <br />impact on what was once a beautiful natural environment of the ridges along that valley. <br />Therefore, we are asking that the permit of the Glade Co. for this project be denied. If <br />you have any questions regazding this, please feel free to contact us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mary Lo Evans <br />79 El Diente Ct., Livermore, CO 80536 <br />970-482-1214 <br />Gv~2 <br />Will Evans <br />
