Princeton Mobile Home and RV. Park are asking that you denied the application fora "open <br />miaing and subsequent crushing and transportation of sand, gravel and quarry aggregate' permit by Hard Rock <br />Paving and Redi Mix Comparry for the following reasons. <br />l . There are approximately 180 full time Residence that live within a one block radius of the proposed <br />gravel pit. Most of these people are retired end or over the age of 55. Mast wuld not afford to <br />relocate if this permit is approved. Marry suffer from chronic breathing problems that would be greatly <br />aggravated from the dust and fumes created during the operation of this gravel pit and crusher.. <br />2. Our water wells are 90 to 100 feet below the surface of the ground and our water comes from a large <br />aquifer.

There has been no activity for two years in the gravel pit and very little for ] 0 years before that. <br />5. The surrounding population has increased greatly in the last few years as have Buena Yista N General <br />as have the traffic on County Road 383 and Hwy 24. The addition of heavy equipment and Trucks to <br />these Roads would be a Safety hazard to the local Residence and the people using Hwy 24. <br />6. We feel that the highest and best use of this property would be to put in10 Home sites with a County <br />road through the middle of it. <br />We are owners and residence of the area and feel that the issue of this permit would great harm our business end <br />devalue our home. <br />N ~, <br />,~, ~S ~ <br />Kenneth and verly <br />
