Subject: EXTERNAL - Sargent Ranch Quarry Proposal
Dear Madam Mayor and Members of the Gilroy City Council:
I request that the City Council of the City of Gilroy adopt a resolution opposing the proposed
development of a sand and gravel mining operation in southern
Santa Clara County.
The City of Gilroy would be joining the Cities of Morgan HIl, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Sunnyvale
along with a host of other organizations and institutions, and individuals like me, who recognize the
damaging impacts upon the environment, wildlife and cultural resources if the Sargent Ranch Quarry
development application is allowed to move forward.
I have submitted a comment letter to the County of Santa Clara Planning Dept.
addressing the shortcomings of the Quarry Project in the context of Hydrology and Water Quality.
While there are numerous regional concerns, the development site is within the 'sphere of influence'
for the City of Gilroy, so it is important that City voice its opposition to Sargent Ranch Quarry.
Thank you for your consideration.
