r � z FROM: Floyd- S. & John E. Foppiano D (9 TO: San Joaquin County Planning Division 'ov 1992 1810 East Hazelton Stockton, CA 95205 vUMMlJ141 i Y i1CYCL`JTIVIL14I k}ty[. PLANNING DIVISION My brother and I oim 28 acres of farm land located directly east of the James T. Carroll, et al Major Subdivision Project to divide 43.15 acres into 37 lots. Our property abuts the Project for 1785 feet in a northerly direction from Foppiano Lane. Our family has been engaged in farming in the area for approximately 100 years. In the past several years we removed about 20 acres of diseased cherries and walnuts, levelled over 20 acres, and installed 1300 feet of irrigation pipe line. It is obvious that we invested considerable time and money to continue our 28 acres of prime agricultural soil as a farming operation. We have discussed replanting trees to increase monetary yields per acre; however the change in zoning will influence plans due to the consider- able potential of land use conflicts of a subdivision adjacent to our agricultural operations. From the Final Supplemental EIR Nov. 1988, Section III Summary Table pp. 8-11 some of these are -- conflicts from noise, dust and spray drift, trespassing, theft, vandalism, etc. Mitigation Measures Cited: Create buffer areas and setbacks for lots that abut agricultural operations. At the Board of Supervisors meeting of July 20, 1989, I brought up the need for a fence for the Project east boundary northerly from Foppiano Lane to Canepa Road. Trespassing incidents have been increasing by service trucks, agricultural equipment, farm workers, etc. using our private road from Foppiano Lane as a "short-cut" or more direct or convenient route to their point of delivery. There have also been an increasing number of vehicles, farm equipment, etc. taking a "short-cut" from Canepa Road through our land and private road to Foppiano Lane. With a large number of lots in the proposed subdivision, the potential is certain to increase significantly. For these reasons, I feel strongly that a fence provided by the Subdivision Project is a necessity to help decrease the trespassing problem. I invite members of the Planning Division Office and the Planning Commission to come out to our property to get a first-hand look at the potential problems this subdivision has the potential to create! I hope some of you will call me and come out to get a clear picture of this setting. (6363 E. Foppiano Lane) Sincerely, q `? Floyd S. Foppiano - 1110 W.
