Park County, Colorado To Whomever It May Concern, JJ~~''he owners of the Gumaer Placer property have been invited to /comment on the above-noted Permit Amendment. We are most appre- ciative of this opportunity. The Gumaer Placer (140 acres) contiguous to and east of the Alma Placer has had a number of physical inter-relationships with the Alma Placer. Differ_sn*_ial topographic features and geology have at various times in the very long history of the two properties tended to create issues of simple access to the Gumaer to become somewhat complicated as mining activity, pri- marily at the Alma Placer, either advanced or retreated. The Gumaer, being the smaller property, was also locked-in between the behemoth Alma Placer and a very large hillside created the inevitablg issue of access. Today, new pressures of impending real estate development will only exacerbate access issues to the Gumaer co-incident with the old and familiar activities of mining/reclamation, water sourcing and the impending real property development with its necessary property lines and fences and formally platted land parcels. The owners of the Gumaer Placer have studied the Alma Placer's submittal to the Board. The submittal is a bold and a good plan with time notwithstanding in that the Gumaer will remain fully integrated, developmentally, with the Alma. This communication to the Board is for the purpose of expressing this owner's thoughts on three particular issues surrounding both properties at this time and for the near future in that decisions made today will profoundly affect actions tomorrow in the attempted seamless transition from an essentially des- tructive (mining) activity to an essentially constructive ac- tivity - real estate development.
