The 127 acres directly across the road from this proposed gravel pit is a family home that has been used for generations on two small lakes.  While the value of the property will be decidedly decreased if this is approved, the tragedy lies in the fact that additional generations will miss out on the beautiful setting that once was. We have enjoyed many activities on the lake, but the most enjoyment has come from seeing the moose, eagles, loons, muskrat and even lynx that have swam in the lake or visited us on the porch. I am all for commercial activities in commercial areas. This is a residential area with large lots and there is no place for this type of operation.
