z. <br />Attachment #6 -Division of Wildlife. - "Consider leaving a portion as wetlands" <br />There is a large eagle nest in one of the dead trees next to the river that is usually <br />occupied in late Oct/Nov of each year. <br />Attachment #7 -Ms. Nan Bedau of the La Plata Planning Department has quite a <br />list of requirements that are to happen prior to Planning Commission <br />Consideration. One of which is for us to grant an additional right of way. This we <br />are not willing to do. <br />Attachment #8 -This is a copy of the newspaper article when we went to the <br />Planning Department & BOCC to ask to add only One residence to our 20 acres. <br />Attachment #9 -This is a list of requests by the County Planning Department most <br />of which have not been taken care of at this point. <br />We don't disagree with any of the attachments. They seem to point out that there is <br />a multitude of things against placing a gravel pit in this pristine agricultural area. <br />Just the name "Gravel Pit" has a demeaning ring. <br />My Wife and I worked for three years to clean up and remodel this home at the cost <br />of several thousands of dollars. We installed 21 large windows to take advantage of <br />the wonderful view of the valley and wildlife that feeds there. At age 70 we are not <br />looking forward to having to move to find something that allows the beauty and <br />quiet we are enjoying here. The land in question is choice irrigated land. The <br />neighbors on both sides (to the north and south) seem to do just fine. The <br />management of this property in the past seems to be in question. The previous <br />owners acknowledge that the area is agricultural and nothing more. To destroy this <br />property with a gravel pit would be an atrocity. To think of living next to a gravel <br />pit is unthinkable. <br />Other gravel pits in the area have had their problems with neighbors and lawsuiits. <br />Please understand that this project will be an extreme hardship on our family. <br />Respectfully, ~ _ <br />i _ _ <br />4 ~ ~L <br />C.M.
