I am opposed to the proposed project for several reasons. First, we <br />built our house in Independence Valley seeking privacy and quietness. I can not imagine <br />a gravel cnuhing op«ation not adding a substantial amount of noise to the surrounding <br />area. Second, the proposed project does nothing to support or increase existing property <br />value. If anything it would be looked at as a negative iafluenoe on the surrounding area. <br />Third, I don't know how Grand Junction and/or Mesa County could overlook the <br />potential traffic problem. Broadway is a two-lane road and already the traffic on this <br />road is a problem. It will only get worse with the amount of growth our area is <br />experiencing. A commercial project with ducks cazrying gravel on Broadway will in all <br />likely hood make the traffic situation near unbearable. <br />I was very shocked to hear that a commercial enterprise could be located in this area. <br />There are numerous areas in Mesa Courtty that commercial businesses could be together <br />leaving residential areas alone. <br />lino«cly, P~~Lf~~~, ®FF~CE <br />~'ilE, <br />1 ~ ~-rE; <br />George D.
