M-1979-158 <br />Dear Mr. Oehler: <br />Thank you for your letter dated March 21, 2000, regarding the above. Please find attached our <br />"Party Status Request Form" propared and signed by me informing you [hat I be named as a party opposing <br />application to a new location regarding the above revision and proposal of the Mountain Shadows Pit <br />conversion application. <br />You stated in your letter that you are fully intbrmed of our primary concerns regarding the <br />District's application for renewal and that a revision is forthcoming removing Lot 14 from the application ,T", <br />Please know that ourLpiimary concerns revolve around the complete reloeation ojthe yuarry pit not t./ <br />nearing any residential properly rvitkin a 5-mile radius <br />While the original application over twenty years ago may have been appropriate and necessary at <br />that given time, i[ reasonably cannot be appropriate at this time with the rapid growth of family residences. <br />Rye and Colorado City are experiencing a tremendous growth and the majority of our community share my <br />opinion [hat the growth can only continue. As a subcontractor, I see this growth week after week. Those <br />people selecting our community are doing so because of its pristine beauty and openness. While we could i <br />not stop the quarry from existing in the years past, it is our opportunity now to speak openly in ob'ectin = ar(ir~ <br />relocation of the pit near our homes being a constant eye sore, as we a e roa s we travel on daily. <br />
