`1'ltc:nk you for- your intcr,•ut in Chu plight of our neighbor-
hood, PleaLictnt View.
Llriefly , the problem is this: F1,--3tiron Company of Boulder
has applied to Weld County Cummissioncr:-, to locate an asphalt
bitch and ready mix concrete plant in the middle of our rural
residontiril neighborhood on 'igric.ulturolly zoned land. They
have a permit to mine gravel on this leased land along Boulder
Crcel•: and we did not contest this, knowing that gravel mining
is a nccessa.ry evil in this part of Colorado. But mining is a
three or four month-a-year uperation rind their desire to locate
heavy industry here null.ilics our ro ,aons for living, in the
country . We have beautiful homes in beautiful area and wonder-
ful nt_il;hborz who ,,ro unii'icd in u; uunitiun to this horrible
