<br />Larimer County Planning Department <br />', ' April 6, 1988 <br />Page 2 <br />' level and our pastures. In 1985 we were told by both Sterling Sand and <br />Gravel Company and the planning department that this would not happen. <br />' However, it certainly has and we are outraged because no one wants to accept <br />the Cact that the water level has dropped due to that mining project and it:o <br />associated dewatering procedure. As we understand it, that is the same <br />procedure that will be done at the proposed mining site. <br />1 would also like to remind you and everyone concerned with this spe~:ial <br />review that the land Cor this mining site does not lie in the 100 year flood <br />plane, only a very small portion lies in the 500 year flood plane. So there <br />are other uses for this land. 1 do not think that tearing up our environment <br />in a residential area is justified just for the sake of mining gravel when so <br />much other unusable land has been designated for mining. <br />In conclusion I would like to say that I feel that the Larimer County <br />Planning Board was justified in denying the approval of this request Cor <br />' mining this parcel of land at the February 24 hearing. I feel that they <br />understand that our quality of life, health, livelihood and property values are <br />in jeopardy. We as property owners and tax payers hope they will again <br />' recommend denial of this request by Sterling Sand and Gravel Company an~i <br />not allow a gravel mining operation in our front yard. <br />Sincerely, <br />' n <br />Bill R. Martin, DVM <br />BRM:mam <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
