February 14, 2005 <br />R.EC~I~TEID <br />~A <br />FEB 1 6 2005 . <br />Deaz Delta Planners, <br />F3Y= <br />I want to start by saying I am very fond of Dwight and Kazen Benson. I appreciate that <br />they are hard workers and have created a successful business. <br />On the other hand, I oppose the proposed Coalby Canyon Rock Quarry. Although I <br />live slightly over 2 miles from the Benson's property, our home is on Ward Creek Road <br />and I am worried about the safety of my family. My children, ages 7 and 9, have recently <br />been riding bikes on the road in front of our home. Large trucks will not be able to stop or <br />even slow down quickly and I know their speed will not be controlled by anyone, <br />especially since there are no speed limit signs. <br />Some other issues include: (1) the use of generators instead of tapping into the nearby <br />electrical lines, (2) the noise from the crusher, (3) the dust in the air and (4) the <br />destruction of the gorgeous landscape (ironically to obtain landscaping material). <br />l want to ask you a huge favor. Before you make any decisions, please take some <br />"alone time" and go to the proposed site. Climb the hill to an area with a view, now sit <br />down and close your eyes. As you breathe in the sweet clean air, listen....The wings of <br />the nearby nesting hawks may surprise you but all you will hear is nothing. Now open <br />your eyes and take in the beauty... from the enormity of this 360 degree view down to <br />the simple delicate moss at your feet. Now imagine what your decision can do to this <br />area. <br />1 take pity on anyone who is responsible for ruining mother earth for our children. <br />Now throw this letter in the pile with all the others and disregard it ,just like you <br />planned. Sleep well. <br />Sincer y, <br />Kimberlee Eckhart <br />16869 Ward Creek Road <br />Cedaredge, Co 81413 <br />970-856-6164 <br />
