8 While it has good I-90 access the streets are residential in nature and not set up <br />for large trucks. Also a residential area with kids around. Lots of <br />groundwater/flooding in area with spring melts and then irrigation. As traffic <br />exits off I-90 first thing they will see is dump which is eyesore. That whole <br />Tjossem region is either farmland or residential. Tjossem Road drains traffic out <br />of the whole Badger Pocket area and traffic mix really would need to be <br />mitigated. Curious what zoning is at that site compared to cement plant. <br />9 My first choice. It is clearly near the population center and access from all parts of <br />the area, mostly without increasing town traffic and dragging big trucks through <br />town or a long detour around town. This site may be met with less resistance <br />than the airport and if people understood it does not have to be an eyesore and <br />can be a neutral impact on the view it would help. <br />10 Dont use this site. My family farms near by and this will only give us more <br />problems trying to move crops and so forth. Plus theres no freeway enterance <br />really near it. And its more expensive. <br />12 Really...take a huge beautiful agricultural piece of land and turn it into a dump. <br />That STINKS!!! Okay, I live on Tjossem Rd and I don't really want it in my <br />backyard or front yard which would be the case. Who wants to look at an <br />industrial site 24/7 from their home that was purchased 40 years ago because of <br />its beautiful location surrounded by farmland but still close to town. I haven't <br />even finished my first paragraph and I'm crying. Not sure if it's because of what <br />we'll lose or what we'll be saddled with for the rest of our lives. The traffic alone <br />would be insane with trucks coming and going all day long and probably <br />exceeding the speed limit to meet their work quotas. Not to mention wear and <br />tear on the road. When I said it stinks I meant that literally because my property is <br />down wind of this proposed dump. Have you been to the Transfer Station on a <br />hot day? I have and I just about gag from the stench. I can't image having to be <br />subjected to this daily not to mention what it will do to property values of the <br />homes surrounding this choice. Next, have you consider how this will greet <br />visitors coming from the east as the first impression of Ellensburg...a dump!!! <br />Pretty unsightly!!! How close to town does the dump need to be? I can't believe <br />people wouldn't drive 5 extra minutes so that it doesn't have to be in someone <br />else's backyard. I would! PLEASE do not select this site! <br />14 This site also has potential surface and ground water issues, with proximity to <br />existing ponds/lakes, the Yakima River and irrigation return flow channel(s). <br />ResponseID Response <br />10
