25 This appears to be the most desirable site and meets all the criteria. <br />26 When I think of wind and smells, I think if those are our only choices, it would be <br />Tjossem Rd, downwind from Ellensburg with easy and quick access to the <br />freeway. <br />27 Please keep the existing transfer station and build a similar one elsewhere. We <br />do not have the funds to build a brand new whole transfer station! <br />28 Our vote is NO, NO, NO! Horrible site choice. For one thing it would be a huge <br />eye sore to the community. Our vote would be for Bowers Field. Thank you for <br />considering our opinion. Bruce & Judy Montgomery <br />29 The water table is shallow in this area. Just look at the cattails adjacent to this <br />sight. Why build in areas prone to flooding or high water tables? The wind will <br />blow garbage and the smell towards town. Why not consider a site east of <br />Ellensburg where the land is more arid, less impact on landowners, and leave the <br />areas close in (and on the way North on 97) with a clean and pleasant view. <br />Consider the population density of this area v. the density further east. <br />Regarding people having to drive a little further, "If you build it they will come." <br />30 Hello. I do have some concerns on the US 97/Old Highway 10 site. My name is <br />Cristy "Cris" Ellingson-Jett and I own property a ways down and along US 97 <br />myself. For seven years I also served as a planning commissioner in the City of <br />Black Diamond, WA. Having reviewed the plans I have a few concerns I would like <br />to see addressed. This location, besides the potential flooding impact which has <br />been reviewed by your staff, has it appears, four separate routes of ingress and <br />egress along US 97. Reducing that number to only one or two seems prudent if <br />this site is seriously considered as it would be safer.. It is also close to the <br />intersection of the two highways a well as close to the Iron Wayne/John Wayne <br />trail. The "grinder" location should be sited elsewhere, further from US 97, both <br />for noise asthetics as well as potential impact to motorists if the grinder is <br />suddenly started up. Also what kind of lighting abatement is planned and what <br />mitigation steps are considered to minimize light and glare offsite as well as <br />minimize chances for debris to travel offsite due to strong winds often found in <br />the area. The relocation to this site would significantly increase industrial noise <br />levels in the area, which is currently relatively quiet and residential in nature. I <br />would also like to suggested another site, that being along the roadway east of <br />the truck repair and University Auto (the dealership address being 1817 North Sr <br />97.) The zoning and roadway at that point is industrial and four lanes, much <br />better for placement of the transfer station. It is also easier to travel to with the <br />interstate nearby, for the removal of the full containers to offsite destinations. <br />Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Cris Ellingson, 120 Cross Creek <br />Drive, Ellensburg, WA 98926 Ph: 509-925-9499 <br />ResponseID Response <br />5
