RECEIVED <br /> 23 June 2016 <br /> JUL 0 62016 <br /> DIVISION OF RECLAMATION <br /> Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety MINING&SAFETY <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Dear CDRMS: <br /> This letter is in response to the"Notice to Land Owners" letter dated June 16"', 2016 regarding proposed <br /> Reclamation and Mining development at Hitch Rack Ranch,submitted by Transit Mix Concrete <br /> Company, Permit No. M2016010. I own property within the Eagles Nest development,which is located <br /> on Little Turkey Creek Road to the west of the proposed quarry. While I do not have an address <br /> assigned, my property schedule#'s with El Paso County are 7600000286, 7600000287, and 7600000288. <br /> 1 object to the application as currently written for the following reasons. I have highlighted the first two <br /> as I believe they make the intended operation of the quarry an illegal infringement on the easement <br /> rights I (and all owners in the Eagles Nest subdivision)own on Little Turkey Creek Road: <br /> 1) Quarry operations will block Little Turkey Creek Road,which is my ingress/egress easement road <br /> and provides the only means I have to access our property. <br /> 2) Quarry operations will cause more frequent and more severe flooding and landslides within the <br /> Little Turkey Creek watershed,which will obstruct access on Little Turkey Creek Road and place <br /> a financial burden on affected landowners to repair the road. <br /> 3) Quarry operations may have an adverse impact on nearby water wells and may impact water <br /> rights within the Little Turkey Creek watershed <br /> 4) Quarry operations will adversely affect the safety and security of Eagles Nest landowners and <br /> their guests <br /> 5) Quarry operations will adversely impact the environment and quality of life within Little Turkey <br /> Creek canyon <br /> 6) Quarry operations within Little Turkey Creek canyon will adversely impact property values <br /> within Eagles Nest. <br /> Please notify me of any scheduled meetings concerning the quarry application. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Matthew D Cook <br /> .V <br /> z <br /> 355 Oakhurst Ln,Colorado Springs,CO 80906 <br /> 708-287-2037 // mdc_sjc@yahoo.com <br />
