We are Peter and Cindy Baurer and we own and reside on the the 90 acres immediately south of this proposed gravel mine and water storage project. Although we are generally in favor of approval we have some concerns regarding the visual, noise, dust and liability impact of this project. Although we will not be able to attend your meeting of Feb. 15th, we will be represented by our son Jonathan who has full authority to act on our behalf. We thank you for your consideration.

I own property within 500-hundred (500) feet of the above mentioned case: otherwise known as the Aggregate Industries Wattenberg Lakes Project. The property I own is to the South of the aforementioned, and some of my concerns are with quite enjoyment and noise, visual impacts, the generation of dust, and other aspects of mining due to the project. Many of these concerns could be mitigated with the installation of a 10 foot high wooden—break away fence. Mr. Mike Reefer, who works with Aggregate Industries, has always been a good neighbor, but with the recent sale of Aggregate Industries to a Swiss company, we now do not know our neighbors. I will be attending the Public Hearing before the Weld County Planning Commission on Tuesday, February 15`h, 2005. Thank you for your assistance in advance. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 303 880-4001. .-.

I believe this satisfies proposed Condition K for USR-1350. I have one other question regarding a proposed pre-recording condition. Condition 3.J. requires evidence that the facility has adequate water supply,i.e. bottled water. I appreciate your understanding with regard to using bottled water, however, I am not sure how we would provide evidence of bottled water prior to recording the plat Could this be added as a development standard, stating that bottled water shall be provided for employees?
