<br />Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Zachry <br />324 31 ll2 Road <br />Grand Junction, CO 81503 <br />April 25, 1992 <br />To the Members of the Planning Commission: <br />We, Nellie and Abner Zachry, owners of a ten-acre property at the above address, do wholeheartedly <br />protest the expansion of the grave! pit operation known as "DeYries Gravel Pit" and or " 31 Road Gravel Pit" <br />and proposed by the Parkerson Construction Co. <br />Our vehement objections are: <br />1. We don't think a gravel pit should be placed near two existing orchards. <br />2. We feel that the type of activity proposed will depreciate both the quality of our <br />neighborhood and the values of our property. <br />3. We detest and deplore the necessity to fend the right to have a quiet existence without <br />sustained noise and air pollution which damages growing and planned vegetation. <br />4. We resent the Fact that we bought our property when it was caned AFT and people keep <br />trying to get this caning designation changed and expanded. To edify and clarify for future <br />proposal presenters, <br />WE DO NOT WANT A COlVIlVIERCIAL <br />VENTURE WHICH WILL DISRUP'T' OUR QUIET <br />NEIGHBORHOOD TO EXPAND THEIR <br />OPERATION. <br />5. As taxpayers, wfiy are our taxes spent to maintain C Road for truck traffic since it was never <br />designed to handle the heavy wck traffic. The number of times these trucks go back and <br />forth puts an unneeded burden on a road built for automobiles. <br />6. It has been proposed by the developers that they reclaim the area after the gravel has been <br />removed. These reclamation plans are to plant the slopes in native grrsses (WEEDS) which <br />should spread to adjoining property "like wildfire". These rerlamation plans have not been <br />proved and the surrounding property owners have not been able to view any successful <br />reclamation projects of this type. <br />Si~nce/r~ely,f~/J~~/ ~} ~~ <br />Nellie L.
