<br /> <br />Why would Ron Tipping want to hand this land to the County? The sand & gravel shown as a <br />reserve on their financial statement is just as valuable in the ground as in a pile or in a truck. <br />As you can see in the Daily Sentinel article of 4-11-99, Mr.Tipping, Mr. Settle and Grand <br />Junction Pipe & Supply aze doing the exact same thing on Redlands Mesa. Another gravel pit in <br />a residential neighborhood. I seriously doubt if this company will let anything stand in the way <br />of another dividend check, although I see Mesa County has told them to limit hours of operation <br />from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, as well as paving their haul road and preserving <br />some mature cottonwood trees. You'll notice they didn't have enough nerve to suggest an <br />asphalt plant to the Mesa County Planning Commission. <br />Delta Sand & Gravel recently sold out for millions of dollazs to some conglomerate from Ireland. <br />In the not too distant future, Ron Tipping will be offered 50 million dollars for his empire ---and <br />he'll retire to the golf course. But the Gunnison River neighborhood will still be holding the bag. <br />Mr. Tipping's Delta Paving Gravel Pit isn't a Confluence Park in the making. It's along-term <br />industrial site in a residential neighborhood. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Thomas E.
