The filing of an application for a zoning change by Grinnell Industries to allow a quarry in our area of Sparta is imminent. The effect of such a change is staggering and will have a dramatic impact on the health, water, air, traffic, noise and property values of everyone.
 
We have begun an aggressive challenge to the impending attempt by Grinnell Industries to secure a zone change from the existing R-3 Residential Zone to an Economic Development Zone for the area from West Mountain Road, along Houses Corner Road to the existing Grinnell plant, then north along the railroad to along the east shore of Lake Grinnell to West Mountain Road. The proposed use for the area involved is a gravel quarrying operation, with a life of 20 years.
 
John Ursin, Esq., a prominent Sparta attorney has been retained to represent the interests of the CCAQ and the Lake Grinnell Association. In addition, Peter Dorram Associates, planners with years of successful experience in combating spot zoning changes, have been retained in the effort to prohibit any zone change.
 
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!!! The fight to stop a zoning change, thus preserving the fabric of our lives, is expensive. To sustain our efforts until the end of 2007 we estimate approximately $10,000 is required.
 
PLEASE HELP. Our properties are being threatened by a zoning change that will destroy our way of life.. Please consider this defense of your health, welfare and property values worthy of your giving at any level to which you are able. Please send your contribution, payable to Concerned Citizens Against the Quarry, to:
 
Mary Donnelly, Treasurer
6 Helen Street
Stanhope, NJ 07874
