.~~ <br />May 11, 1992 <br />Mesa County Commissioners <br />P. 0. Box 20000-5022 <br />Grand Junction, CO 81502 <br />Dear Ms. Genova: <br /> <br />I am writing in regard to the proposed expansion of the gravel pits owed by <br />Parkenaon Construction located at 31'~ and C!1 Roads and at 32 and C'~ Ronda. <br />I oppose the expansion for the following reasons: <br />1. Pazkenson Construction Company has violated the conditions of their <br />current agre®ent by failure to atop at the stop saga at the inter- - <br />aectian of C Road repeatedly. - -- - - - - ---"--- - -- - <br />2. Their agreement outlines that tzucks are to travel east to 32 Road. <br />I have vitaesaed them traveling vent to 31 Road. _= - <br />3, It is my understanding that their agreement calls for sprinkling <br />to keep the dust at a minimum at the pits. Thin has not been done. <br />4. Their current application for expansion viii enlarge the area mined <br />and will increase traffic on a road that has poor visability due to <br />inclines and valleys. Trucks travel at a speed that is a hazazd to <br />school children sad those property occupants entering the road from <br />residences along the vay. <br />5. Damage to fruit trees and crops have occurred at both sites vhich <br />indicates unacceptable pollution sad environmental cooditions. <br />6. I believe expansion of the project will have a detrimental effect <br />on the agriculture of the area vhich is the zoning of record. - <br />7. It will also have the effect of decreasing property values due to <br />increased pollution sad increased traffic (100+ trucks per day). <br />I request that you turn dow this upcoming request for expansion. <br />Sincerely, <br />,; l~.w t~ Q LL~~J?.. <br /> <br />
