Mr. Beaugh will need to fly directly over our property in order to takeoff or land his aircraft. We believe Mr. Beaugh will eventually allow others to use his airstrip. We are concerned that the noise pollution created by his airstrip will interfere with our quiet enjoyment of this property. We intend to have a residence on our property and plan to raise poultry, hogs, and cattle. Additionally, there are several head of cattle that regularly winter graze on this land. Livestock, especially poultry, are affected by aircraft noise and we are concerned that this portion of our business will be negatively impacted. It is hard enough to make a living in the farming business without creating a situation where livestock, including poultry, are frightened by low flying aircraft. With airstrips located so close to Mr. Beaugh's residence we do not understand the need for an additional airstrip. Greeley Airport, a few miles to the North, and Easton Airport, not more than 2 miles West nn road 48, should be adequate. It is a well known fact that most accidents occur during the takeoff and landing phases of a flight. With power lines on the North end of his property, it is very possible that an airplane could catch its wheels on these lines causing a crash onto our property, endangering our lives and property directly. It is difficult to predict what type of failure could occur and where an aircraft would crash. There are at least seven families, not counting us, living directly north of Mr. Beaugh's property placing them in the flight pattern. We would like to go on record as being strongly opposed to an airstrip on Mr. Beaugh's property and formally request that you reject Mr. Beaugh's permit application. We feel there will be noise pollution and damage to our livestock which could affect our business and peaceful enjoyment and use of this property. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
