During the forty-five day review period the public is invited to submit in writing any comments or questions concerning the draft E.I.R. to the City. The purpose of this public hearing is to offer an addi- tional opportunity for public input. Mayor Brandes presented a letter from Rhodes-Jamieson dated March 11, 1980, stating the report achieves a good degree of obJectivity and presents an ambitious examination of the subject at hand but there are some omissions that should be discussed later. The basic problem lies in the traffic volumes used by the con- sultants that are at considerable variance with those compiled by the industry and therefore magnify all other impacts under consideration. Further comments will be presented later. Mayor Brandes declared the public hearing open. Hr, Lowell Beezley, 3673 Cambridge Court, stated the gravel industries had been here for many years, before some homeowners, and that the ban may not be desirable, He stated that enforcing tMs ban is like forcing ind/ans onto a reservation.
