June 12`h 2017 <br />Kittitas County Community Development <br />411 N Ruby St. Suite 2 <br />Ellensburg, WA, 98926 <br />Dear Dan Carlson, <br />Reading the Notice of Application from Ellensburg Cement for the vast expansion of the mining operation located at <br />930 Prater Road in Ellensburg, I see significant impacts to our neighborhood. <br />1. The increased traffic of semi -trucks on this country road of 50 mph creates a big safety concern for me and <br />my family. We occasionally ride our bikes on this quiet road like many others that also take walks. <br />2. The increased load of hauling crushed rock and other bi-products of a mine will create a lot of ware and tare <br />on this road and the County is already strapped for money to maintain its' right of ways. <br />3. The increase noise from the semi -trucks and their use of Jake -Brakes will most definitely be a disturbance to <br />our peaceful country life. <br />I'm proposing that the speed limit be reduced from 50mph to 35moh at the crest of Carroll Rd near 801 Carroll Rd. <br />I'm also proposing that a sign be put up not allowing semi -trucks the use of theirjake-brakes. "NO JAKE BRAKES" <br />I would appreciate a copy of your research behind issuing this project a 'Determination of non -significance' <br />Warm Regards, <br />Todd and Heather Forgey <br />591 Carroll Road <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />
