A Board Member Responds About Dumping

Mike Cooper called tonight to answer the questions we posed  two days ago about the dumping of dirt, asphalt and rocks at the end of Peppertree.

Cooper says that he brings in dirt from other construction jobs on which he works, and uses it for the work he does in Portuguese Bend on the roads. He said that when he finishes his current work on Limetree, the dirt and asphalt chunks will be gone from the end of Peppertree.

As for the very large rocks that are piled up there, he said that he uses them to block access to areas where people should not go, such as the area commonly known as "The Bean Field," or the area at the end of Narcissa Drive.

Cooper said there is nowhere else to stockpile these supplies in Portuguese Bend, because the Board does not own any property except the gate lots, which are not large enough to hold this material.

Does anyone want to donate some less visible space where he could store these materials?
