Robert D. Ney <br /> 20843 S. Carrolton Rd. <br /> Ripon, CA 95366 -�: �' '• ' IQ <br /> April 13, 1998 <br /> Kerry Sullivan <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Community Development Department <br /> 1810 E. Hazelton Ave. <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> I <br /> RE: Application Number UP-98-5 <br /> Dear Mr. Sullivan, <br /> I <br /> Regarding the above application for a use permit for horse boarding, breeding, and <br /> training stables for a maximum of 64 horses, I have several concerns. <br /> Carrolton Road is a high traffic roadway which is accompanied by high speeds. The fact <br /> that horses will be hauled in and out on this road with trailers at slow speeds could be <br /> very hazardous. Almond trees are on either side of the entrance creating a blind spot at <br /> times to the on coming traffic. <br /> Parking would also present a problem as there doesn't appear to be adequate space. <br /> Parking would have to be along the roadway also presenting a danger to entering and <br /> exiting vehicles especially where children were present. <br /> There is already a fly problem in the area due to a local chicken ranch. Sixty-four horses <br /> on this small a parcel are too many to clean up after. It would create a repulsive odor and <br /> could eventually contaminate the water table. <br /> Since the facility is so close to the road the added dust from the movement of the horses <br /> could cause an auto accident. I have noticed that at times horses have been ridden in the <br /> area orchards. These horses make holes in the dirt which then costs the farmer extra time <br /> and money to re-Ievel the ground for harvest. <br /> Besides all the above concerns, I am also concerned about the loud public address system <br /> that would be used and the probability of several portable toilets for the people attending. <br /> These are unsightly and can also create a repulsive odor. <br /> I strongly recommend that the application by denied. <br /> ' 0 ert D.
