With the widening of the road this habitat will be destroyed. <br />fn addition, I am very concerned about the traffic this subdivision will generate and <br />ability for vehicles to safely access Nine Gates from Jones Ferry and visa versa. Also, <br />I am extremely concerned about the future construction of Nine Gates as a connector <br />road. if this should occur, what is now a quiet and beautiful, pastoral gravel road will <br />become a major cut through for traffic wishing to got to Highway 54 or the northern part <br />of the county from 15 -501. It is my understanding that the Irvin property will be donated <br />to the Nature Conservancy which would not be compatible with a high traffic artery. <br />cutting through it. Finally, T am concerned about my ability to access my home while the <br />road is being constructed and emergency vehicles' ability to access my property at any <br />time. 1 do not work regular nine to rive hours so it is important to have this road open at <br />all times to accommodate my work schedule and for safety. <br />Two weeks ago, I requested that the PWming staff send me the updated pertinent <br />information about this subdivision; however, l have not received it. Thanks you for your <br />attention. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Lynn`trgvin Cox <br />May 4, 2000 <br />34 <br />
