Apparently, this "professional" appraisal company has made a written statement indicating that residential property values would not be affected if a gravel pit were to be developed in the area adjacent to and near property that people own and live on (in Negaunee township)! People have their residences on properties that are directly adjacent to the site and several homes are also within several hundred feet of the site (800'). The proposed site of the gravel pit is also currently zoned residiential. All of this information is publicly available from the Negaunee Township office. Feel free to agree with Swanson and Associates if you think the value of your home and property would not be affected if someone put in a gravel pit next door to you. "Poor-Fair" was the lowest rating choice allowed by this site.
