Mr. James Dillie - 2 - May 12, 2003 bought from the Estate of Maurine Clevenger who passed away in August of 2000, The land stretched almost to Hardscrabble Creek, where our property has been referred to as being near. The purchaser stated "he'd like ~o see some of the land added to the recreation area west of.Lake Pueblo State Park, and we assumed that would be done with that property.. The Chair was not interested and said one cannot believe what is in the news- paper and implied it had nothing to do with our meeting. I showed an article where a Retired FBI Agent and his wife were planning to develop a community in the northeast portion of Pueblo West; and suggested that would be an ideal project for. the area.involved instead of spoiling it by start- ing a gravel mining project. That, too, had no bearing at the Hearing. Since there were some homes in that area-when we checked bh`this:land some time ago, the question was asked if the homes were still. there and, if not, what happened to them? -There was no response. The Chair gave the Floor to Mr. Mangone who: 1. placed a.ma"p on the wall and showed where the activity was taking place and-how far down it would reach our property; t2_ that the°mining~:project=was starte8'in 1.992`(so this~~may`not'be-the same property as described in the newspaper clipping.j'-Mr`,"°Billy'~ Peetz purchased the property in April, 2001. - 3. Stated':the gravel ^.^,IiRing"eper~fion mey"last oiiTy"1O~years"; 4. stated a cement plant mpy!~be~aonsidered'Rn'ahe"fu~tnre°so,iTf-.arid~ivhen a cement plant is started,.it also may pollute the air with toxins. 5. stated they would rehabilitate the land after the mining operation ceased. No reference was made to the DEFINITIONS mentioned in your Packet; however, comments on this subject are mentiohed in my Summary on Page 4. CANON CITY PLANNING & ZONING: 1. You stated that-Canon City Planning & Zoning returned my mail because it should have been addressed to Fremont County Planning & Zoning. 2. lbu then .questioned me that if I received mail that was addressed to someone else;_wou]d I open it. Naturally I would not if it was addressed to someone else and not me. 3. TKe letter-was correctly addressed to Canon City Planning & Zoning and they should have opened it. 4. Why would they state it should have been sent to Fremont County Planning &'Zoning when they did not know the contents of the letter? It is possible it could have contained information regarding the City.
