TOHN HALL
7:30 P.M.
George Oleason, 9138 Zimmerman Road: I would like to submit i
petition witn one hundred-tnirty-tive (135) signatures on it.
The petition read as follows:
To: Members of the Boston Town Board
Re: Proposal to allow a mining operation on Pfarner Road
The undersigned residents of Boston request that the
Hembers of the Boston Town Board DENY the application oi
Carol Seamon to rezone 18 acres of land on Pfarner Road to
the M-2 classification in order to allow a mining
operation at that site.
George Gleason: In regards to the property up there. I helped
build Mr. Boasberg's home and if I didn't apeak up I'm sure ne
would be not to happy with me. I have taken care of the place
tor many years. O.i that particular section of land there is no
water whatsoever. The watershed area on that runs normally bacx
onto Mr. Boasberg's property. When we put the place in, there
was one (1) little spring in the back. Then we put in
approximately an acre lake for him back there, but took nothing
out. All the dike was from the material that was used to ma.le
the property the way it is now. Mr. Buyers, whose property is
right below there, when he built, there was no water down there.
So where the building was there, there was a little dug well on
Mr. Boasberg's property there, but in the summertime it was
always dry. So from the Meyers Farm when Henry Miller and Boo
Boasberg bougnt it there was a dug well down in the woods down
there that Mr. Buyers got permission to use. He always wanted
to buy tnat piece of property but they wouldn't sell. However,
they gave him a permanent easement. When these people bought
this they right away as far as I understand went down and tried
to shut him off rrom using that well. Hbich was the only water
he had that he could use. Rs tar as the watershed according to
Nussbaumer & Clarke it takes fifty (50) acre feet watershed for
two (2) acres, it I am not mistaken in their report. There vx^i
be no where near that much. There is not much run-off there at
all, it all goes to tne rear.- - The water from the other side
goes down the other side of Pfarner Road. So it is basically,
a dry piece of property. Hhen they say that they had made plans
already to ouild on tne seventeen (17) acres, that is raise.
That property when young Boasberg vfho jiist past away, tnat
property just finally became available. If they have any plaiis
drawn up, because he promised me two (2) years in a row that he
Has going to build on the other side of the land v)here this hole
in the ground is going in. The first year he said, well, I
can't do it, I don't have time. Next year I'll have that built
and my kids will be in Eden School. My gripe about this is it's
going to depreciate the property around. Like the well up there
that they are talking about on Mr. Skopinski's, that was Henry
Hiller's and that was one lucky place on that hill that has an
artesian well on it, that flovis all year round. One blast in
there and you know what happens to an artesian well. It goes
the weakest way out. Right at the present time it is up tne
pipe. One crack and it goes the other way. This vuli be deep a <
enough that it will cause that. Hhen they came up through with
trie expressway people on Zimmerman Road viere losing their wells
one right atter the other. On my property I drilled three (3)
wells. On the property of my father-in-laH they drilled five
(:>) wells before they got one ana v/hen the expressway went
through they lost that and ended up naving to drill another vieii
ana people all the v;ay down the line. Even just moving a rocc
you can lose your v/ater. For all tne people on that hili ovei
tnere it is reaiiy = =aa case tor uatSi a^ it is. i£ y-ju lose
one 111 tnen v;nat do you dor i rest my ease.
