January 1, 2010 <br />Community Development Services <br />304 04 tial; <br />NJ�c;`I i <br />In regarding to the proposal of a conditional use permit for the extension of the Clerf <br />Quarry units on 45 acres in the Ag 20 zone. <br />I have 160 acres on Carroll Road that my family farms timothy hay. I also do custom <br />farming in areas in and around Carroll Road which means I need to transport <br />harrowbeds, tractors and 15 -foot swather or disc up and down the road which was not <br />designed for large equipment and a lot of traffic. Now I have to contend with large <br />gravel trucks and trailers on a very small road, with two under -sided bridges which do <br />not even hold two cars passing let along two gravel trucks, or a gravel truck and a 15 - <br />foot swather. I have.witnessed the near head on collision of two gravel trucks traveling <br />at over the listed speed at this bridge --still not knowing how they prevented this <br />disaster from happening. <br />The trucks start running before sunup and do not finished until well after sundown and <br />they also work weekends. This is not a road that is maintained or has the facility to <br />handling the amount of large farm equipment that it has been used for along with the <br />additional traffic of new homes built recently and therefore, I do not support this <br />additional truck traffic or conditional use permit. In other words 3 gravel pits in a farm <br />area with old narrow roads makes for a dangerous condition. <br />Thank you, <br />tI <br />Philip G.
