The noise has disturbed our sleep, our meals, and generally our ability to enjoy our <br /> homes and property as we did before the quarry was in operation. <br /> WATER PROBLEMS <br /> We have all had water problems to some degree that seem to be related to the blasting. <br /> Some of us have had our water run "red" after blasting. Others have had problems <br /> with barn watering systems not working correctly due to sand in the system after <br /> blasting. <br /> WATER QUALITY ISSUES <br /> All of our homes are "downstream" from the quarry site. We are concerned that water <br /> will be entering our aquifers without the benefit of it percolating through the topsoil <br /> layers and being purified. We don't want our drinking water and water for our animals <br /> to become unfit for use. As the size and depth of the quarry increases so do our <br /> concerns. <br /> We are also concerned that if the quarry site is further expanded it will require larger <br /> amounts of fill material when it is reclaimed. The more material that is required the <br /> more likely it is that toxic materials may find their way into the site and then into our <br /> water. <br /> The current application for C.U.P. #1217 is for a duration of 15 years and is <br /> completely unacceptable to us. This operation started out as a small ag lime pit that <br /> was operated only a few weeks a year. It then grew to a cement plant site for the 18- <br /> 151 construction project. None of us complained about that since it seemed to be <br /> something to endure for the good of the community and the state. In the last year, it <br /> has become a large scale quarry operation that was used for the Verona bypass, again <br /> no one complained since it was for the 18-151 project. To have this large scale <br /> operation continue past the current permit that expires March 26, 1995, seems unfair to <br /> us. <br /> All of the above issues affect the uses, values, and enjoyment of our property. Since <br /> Dane County Ordinance 10.255 directs the Zoning Committee not to grant a <br /> conditional use permit if the uses, values and enjoyment of other property in the area <br /> are substantially impaired or diminished by the conditional use, we ask that the permit <br /> not be granted. <br /> (.)( ._ f,bkire.-- <br /> Y <br /> , ,v, 44, , 4/jez, 440,,,Q._ <br /> cyt,,,,,,T, 0.),:xs,...44 4Y 1/� <br /> j , ; r, <br />
