<br />Mr. John Leane <br />Ms. Doralyn Genova <br />Mr. Jim Spehar <br />Subject: Parkerson Construction Co. <br />DeVries Gravel Pit <br />Dear Board of Commissioners: <br />The part of ground being asked to make a gravel pit out of in <br />1992 as ground that is mostly gravel was worked as farmland in <br />the 1980's. <br />In late 1970 and early 1980 T.Z. ranch had gravel hauled out to <br />Orchard Mesa shopping center. The trucks went 31 Road to B 1/2 <br />Road to Hwy. 50. I do think that B 1/2 Road would be a lot safer <br />for the truck route, because at 32 and C Roads with DeVries <br />Market also at this corner eight months out of the year people <br />are stoppint at the market to buy plants and all kinds of farm <br />cropsarown in the vallev until around the first of the year. <br />April 6, 1992, 9:30 a.m. at my home, Parkerson trucks come off C <br />Road and turn on 31 3/4 Road east. They go to B 1/2 Road south <br />then west on B 1/2 Road. U turn in 1/2 mile that I feel we could <br />live without that smoke and dirt and breaking 31 3/4 road down. <br />WHO PAYS TO PUT OIL BACK? Parkerson should not the taxpayers: <br />Why are we not showed that this ground can be reclaimed as <br />Parkerson says? Show us that they can grow all the same plants, <br />after it seems they have some area mined out that this could be <br />started on before asking for more farm ground and upset our <br />plans. <br />Twenty five years ago when we were able to work on or move on are <br />old folks being taken not able to fight back. We did our <br />planning ey ars ago. NOT TODAY. <br />Our little farms and home are very peaceful with children <br />playing, farm animals and our home orchards, every house with a <br />yard and a flower bed. It is nice. With trucks all day and dirt <br />on our gardens and yards it is all gone. We are not able to sit <br />down to rest or nap in the middle of the day at all. <br />Where do we go to find peace? In 20 years here they come again, <br />move on. We want this as farmland as zoned, as it is the best <br />in the valley. I fell we are being raped by a few to make bid <br />dollars. We are left with a hole in the ground. Maybe a bond <br />put up by them to make it in a park or something people enjoy at <br />their cost is appropriate. <br />Chuck Hahn <br />31 1/2 & C Roads <br />
