March 18, 2007 <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Attn: Jim Dupler <br />RE: Permit # M2007-009 <br />Denver Brick Company <br />`''~' /~ ~ ! 1 47'-!1 . <br />1'_ I ' 11 <br />MAR 71207 <br />Division w . ce. a ~:~;.cn, <br />Mining ena Safety <br />Deaz Sir, <br />I am writing to you my letter of objection regazding The Denver Brick Company's <br />proposed mining site, The Kiowa Clay Mine in Elbert County, Colorado. <br />I own 80 acres of land directly east from the proposed site at section 20, 9 South 61 <br />West. I am very disturbed about the proposed mining site. <br />I have owned this property for over 30 years. When I received notification of this <br />action, I inquired with the Elbert County Planning and Zoning Department with regards to <br />their application and discovered The Denver Brick Company's approval back in 1995. I was <br />appalled by this decision since I never received any notices regarding their intentions for <br />special planning and zoning. <br />I am concerned about the environmental impact, the heavy truck traffic and the <br />decline in property values that will be caused by the proposed site. We use this land for <br />grazing. With the stirring up of minerals and clay dust, this will affect the soil causing poor <br />grazing conditions and possible decline of acreage for grazing or any other agriculture. The <br />heavy truck traffic is also a concern regarding noise. A continual siege of movement from <br />lazge heavy equipment is less than conditional for the tranquility for which I purchased the <br />property for. When I bought this land it was intended to be an investment and be given to <br />my children and grand children to enjoy. The proposed 80 year site just directly across the <br />street diminishes both the opportunity for increased profits and the ability to pass along a <br />desired site for future building. No one wants to live or purchase property in the dust ridden <br />desert. <br />Your consideration to our objection is appreciated. <br />very truly yours; ~ 2I ~1 l~~s (~ ~e r <br />Helmut Spazer <br />4026 I,ee Circle. <br />Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 <br />303-420-0763 <br />
