"II I <br />EC18 1009 12/18/09 /� n <br />KITTITAs COUNTY <br />cos 1To whom it may concern: { j' <br />This letter is regarding the conditional use permit application filed by Larry Morrison, agent for Howard <br />Clerf to extend the Clerf Quarry. <br />My husband and I live on Carroll Rd., the path that most of the gravel trucks take when going to or <br />leaving the pit. We have no objection to the pit itself, but we think this might be a good time to address <br />a few issues. Number one, Carroll Rd. has a steep hill that is blind as you are traveling to the top of it <br />going either direction. Most of the trucks that travel this road pay no caution to the speed limit and the <br />fact that you can't see what traffic (or pedestrian) maybe oncoming. There are many people who walk, <br />run, ride bikes, and never mind the slow farm traffic in the area, people pulling out of their driveways, <br />ECT. There is noway these drivers can see a person on the other side of the hill When they travel west <br />they come flying down the hill and invariably hit their lake brake all the way to the stop sign (about''/. <br />mile). We live between the hill and the stop sign and we hear all this noise all day long every day until <br />6:00 at night. Many Saturdays this starts as early as 6:30 in the morning, but always no later than 7:30. <br />1 understand that with those heavy loads they need to use their jake brakes, but I can't help but think <br />that if they were going a little slower they wouldn't need to do such a dramatic slowdown. When they <br />round the corner onto Carrol I Rd. heading east and they are empty they aren't going very slow either. <br />The one other problem I think needs to be addressed is that many times these trucks leave huge rocks in <br />the middle of the road. 1 mean big enough to do damage to a small car if it hit one. I think there must <br />be some way to avoid this. I have stopped to move rocks off the road and have seen others do the <br />same. The same trucks that drop them drive past them several more times that day and no one seems <br />to care. <br />Thank you for taking the time to review this letter and the opportunity to comment. <br />y and Co rtney W gner �_ 77 <br />jfi-t- `r�-f t_ To ya <br />Z -Z <br />� 5 �Sd�P ��,• Ti�� � <br />(�\ <br />
