,~ <br />May 28, 1992 <br />Mr. John Leane <br />Ms. Doralyn Genova <br />Mr. Jim Spehar <br />Subject: Parkerson Construction <br />DeVries and 32 & C 1/2 Road Gravel Pits <br />Dear Commissioners: <br />I am writing this letter to urge you to reject both proposals <br />that Parkerson Construction has submitted for conditional use <br />permits (C33-92, 32 Road gravel pit and C34-92, 31 Road gravel <br />pit). <br />I object to these proposals for the following reasons: <br />1. These areas are zcned AFT. These operations are not <br />compatible with existing uses in this area, i.e., this is <br />prime agricultural farmland that the applicant is wanting to <br />mine and all lands surrounding these pits are being farmed. <br />2. These operations are detrimental to our safety, health and <br />welfare, i.e., our children wait for school buses on C Road <br />and it is very dangerous for them especially in winter when <br />the roads are icy; our children can't ride their bicycles to <br />the market because of truck traffic; children are out and <br />about during the summer months going to and from their <br />friends houses; there are elderly people who have lived in <br />their homes for years that are affected by the dust and <br />noise. <br />3. We live in a rural environment and it is being destroyed by <br />these operations. <br />4. 32 Road at the intersections of C and C 1/2 Roads is very <br />dangerous. There are no accel/decel lanes and these trucks <br />impede oncoming traffic greatly. <br />5. There has been NO reclamation done <br />they want new permits so they won't <br />pits, i.e., using existing pits as <br />Thank you for your consideration in <br />homeowner with acreage I appreciate <br />neighborhood. <br />Sincerely, <br />ap ice Hayd n <br />312 31 1/2 Road <br />at either pit. It seems <br />have to reclaim existing <br />staging areas. <br />these matters. As a <br />your attention to our <br />
