We petition the Mills County Board of
Supervisor to set forth ordinances for dirt extraction pits to include but not be
limited to: times and days of operation, covering loads, spacing of trucks, and
a means of directing traffic.
We petition the Board of Supervisors to establish
a means of enforcing these regulations and set fines to be paid for violating the regulations.
We call for the collection of fees to cover the cost of
primary roads as well as secondary roads.
We request that the Board of Supervisors hold
a public meeting during evening hours to entertain concerns from citizens and that ads be placed in the area newspapers with time, place
and date of said meeting. We request this date be set prior to January 1, 2015.
We insist that the Board of Adjusters adhere to the zoning
regulations when approving special use permits. We ask that permits
be reviewed every six months.
This dirt removal operation, to include supporting operations, is cause health issues for my family and a reduced quality of life for us. It is also diminishing my property value, causing me lost in investment and limiting my ability to sale the property and relocate. At minimum the county should reassess our property taxes and reinvest some of the money being made back into the affected neighborhoods, such as paving the roads, adding safety and sound deadening features around the property, etc.
