This proposed operation raises questions on imparts to the regional <br />drainage and transportation system, including: <br />1. This site is in ar near the 1° Creek Regonal Drainage Way floodway/channel. It is <br />extremely important that this channeUfloodway is available to convey storm water <br />drainage from the entire 1° Creek drainage basin to the South Platte River. <br />Therefore, we are concerned than this operation as requested may alter the ability <br />for the drainage to be conveyed through here and will negatively impact the <br />regional drainage system. <br />2. Since it appear that the Tanabe Pit borders both Brighton Road on the west side, <br />and East 112`" Avenue on the North side, it is important for the regional <br />transportation system that adequate right-of--way for these roadways be preserved. <br />Since both of these roads play an important part in the area transportation system, <br />they are classified as either ma}or collectors or minor arterials in the City's <br />roadway system and will require an ultimate right-of--way width of 80 to 120 feet. <br />If this operation does not account for this needed right-of--way, then the roadway <br />system will be harmed and the futwe operation of the transportation network will <br />be negatively impacted. <br />In addition to the long range concerns outlined above, the operation of this pit also <br />raises several other concerns for the azea, including: <br />1. The haul routes used in this operation will bring an abundance of heavy trucks to <br />either the intersection of Brighton Road and East 104th Avenue, or to East 112r° <br />Avenue and US highway 85. Neither of these intersections are ideal for this type <br />of traffic and will present a safety hazard to the genera! traveling public. <br />ZOO ~SOG'd SL?Z# $XKGM ~I75f1d nIL~ 2~tl F!•::~iG_ 53TBSBZEGE ?000 OGOZ,e:'h'a i~i <br />^ <br />
