6/12/2017 <br />To the Kittitas Planning Department: <br />My name is Joe Roberto and I live at 801 Carroll Rd. I have come to understand <br />there is an application for a conditional use permit for the Clerf Mine to expand. I <br />want to go on record as in opposition to this permit. My reasons are listed below: <br />The rock trucks run at all hours of the day and night are horribly loud and <br />fast. The drivers show now respect for the road and people who live on it that <br />may be carrying out their daily lives. I live at the top of a hill that no one can see <br />traffic coming from either side and these trucks are very dangerous. They often <br />speed over the hill and the other day my dog was run over when I went across the <br />road to get my mail. If they were going slowly and carefully, they would have <br />seen my dog and not killed him. I think the speed limit should be lowered and <br />there should be no exhaust brakes allowed. <br />I do not think Carroll Rd. was built for this type of traffic. These trucks are <br />heavy and are going to ruin our road. They have already had to do extra work to <br />maintain it. <br />The application says they do not believe there is any impact to the <br />surrounding neighborhood, but this is not true. We live here and put up with the <br />noise and the danger every day. A rock pit is a big operation with a lot of <br />environmental effects and this needs to be taken into consideration. <br />I am also requesting that I be notified of any further action or hearings scheduled <br />on this project. <br />Sincerely, <br />
