e/Z We the undersigned reside adjacent on the Town Line Road hereby Pu-b Il L. petition the appropriate governmental officials to impose load C O(WVAS restrictions along with the reduction of speed limitations on-.,, . T1'4�, the Town Line Road. In recent months the use of the said on a road by heavy construction trucks4daily basis often as early r'.U6 ;; 117 1925 as 5:00 a.m. have caused excessive noise and other nuisances including the creation of dust that seriously interferes with !.!fe our daily livelyhood rights to quietly enjoy our property as we have paid taxes over the years to protect.
