Chris Toebe , . <br />Land Use Department <br />2045 13th Street <br />Boulder, CO 80302 ` "" __ ~"~- J <br />Re: Docket SU-99-04 Sprague Quarry <br />Dear Chris, <br />This letter is to register my interest in the Special Use Review referenced above. As owner of <br />several pazcels near this proposed quarry expansion I_oppose any attempt to expand the existing <br />operations~r rights to quarry. <br />Contrary to the position taken by the Sprague Quarry operation I do not think quarry's are <br />beautiful. There is obviously economic value in extracting rock from the land, just as there is in <br />preserving it. I would strongly prefer the economic value of preserved land and support any <br />restriction on this or other quarry operations that can legally be imposed. <br />The reclamation efforts of the Lyons quarry operations are historically very poor as is evident by <br />a quick visual inspection of the ongoing damage being done to the area. While the negative <br />economic impact on surrounding properties is difficult to measure it is substantial, taking into <br />account the noise, dust, truck traffic, wear on roads and scarring of the land. <br />Sirtperely, <br />~ ! ~_ <br />Jentiife Cleary <br />Box 2245 <br />Boulder, CO 80306 <br />
