<br />/ I tend to agree with the principles of "Grandfathered Rights", but they should be <br />limited to the original property, without expansion to additional property for <br />which the rights were not intended. The current situation related to the proposed <br />Quarry expansion, as I understand it, is: It was recently determined that no person <br />legally secured the Mineral Rights of properties adjoining the currently existing <br />Quarry. The Lookonen Brothers took action to secure the Mineral Rights and <br />now feel entitled to expand the Quarry. If the Quarry were limited to only the <br />original property boundaries, at least there would be a finite impact in terms of <br />- - -time and area. - - - ~-- - -- _ - ---- - - -- - -- <br />/ If expansion of the Quarry is permitted, the scenic quality of the property around <br />my property will be diminished. The value of my property will decrease or in the <br />best case, retain its current value -but not increase in value. The same can be <br />said for other property owners within eyesight of the proposed Quarry expansion. <br />Stated another way: A small handful of people financially gain at the expense of a <br />significant number of other property owners. <br />If a simultaneous quanying/reclamationprocws can be implemented that concurrently <br />restores the land to its current elevation, contour and appeazance at the same rate the <br />stone is being removed; does not increase the noise level of the area; does not increase <br />the traffic going past the entrance to my residence; and, does not negatively impact the <br />value of my properly, then I withdraw my objection to the proposed Quarry expansion. <br />Otherwise, I vigorously object to the proposed Quarry expansion! <br />Sincerely, <br />William Taylor ~ '- -' - -- - <br />Cc: R.
