We the undersigned reside adjacent on the Town Line Road hereby <br />petition the appropriate governmental officials to impose load <br />restrictions along with the reduction of speed limitations on <br />the Town Line Road. In recent months the use of the said <br />on a <br />road by heavy construction trucksA daily basis often as early <br />as 5:00 a.m. have caused excessive noise and other nuisances <br />including the creation of dust that seriously interferes with <br />our daily livelyhood-rights to quietly enjoy our property <br />as we have paid taxes over the years to protect. In addition, <br />the intense use of the said road beyond its d ;igned capabilities <br />is causing excessive wear and tear on the road. Consequently, <br />this results in our having to use a sub -standard road to get <br />to and from our property's. Considering the lenient position <br />taken by our local government, concerning the intimidation <br />of big business to adversly affect our private A velyhood, we are <br />not only being taxed for the routine maintenance activities+but <br />�e are also pr iding a subsidy to the developer which probably <br />has the capability more than us, the the common tax payer+to <br />compensate for the deteriorated conditions of the said road. <br />Thus, in a sense, we as tax payers are obligated to pay for the <br />routine maintenance tax per local tax structure which only accounts <br />for the road being used in a minor sense for residential vehicles <br />and some "light" hobby farm users and then being subjected to the <br />cost of repairing a road due to the utilization by heavy equipment <br />for corporate development purposes, and it simply translates to <br />"taxation without representation". Therefore, it seems unreasonable <br />that in this time and era that we have to plead for the attention of <br />our local representatives d con1,�oiqulea;tli�ayers who voted you people <br />into office based upon your "ground roots" ideology, we request that. <br />you prioritze our concerns as well as livelyhood. <br />Therefore, we respectfully request that the same road limitations that <br />are imposed in the spring of the year be imposed and enforced immediately <br />throughout at least the construction season. Furthermore, based upon <br />available engineering research and studies, it demonstrates that an increase <br />rate of speed also affects the duration of a road. PIUS, in terms of <br />prudently economizing the tax dollar in terms of prioritizing the concerns <br />
