CJ TO: San Joaquin County Community Development Department Development Services Division 1810 East Hazelton. Ave. Stockton, ` CA 95205 From: Carroll D. Smith APR 17 1998 21042 S . Carrolton Rd. Ripon, CA .95366 r-,0,m r uniPaeve1oQMent DeDt Attn: Kerry Sullivan To Whom It May Concern: Yes , I do have a lot to say about this lady getting a permit to board horses . First of all there is a problem with the flies around here. This woman doesn' t pick up the manure and turn it under ground because she has no tractor, manure spreader, or disc :'She says'' she abides' by rules , `you sure can' t if you don' t have the proper equipment . With that many horses around there will be a problem with dust . This will cause a serious mite and spider problem to surrounding almond orchards . She says the noise from spray rigs bothers her horses . This isn' t the place to have a horse ranch in the first place. She needs a more open area. After seeing the map plans (site area) there isn' t going to be much room left to ride horse back. This woman has been riding on private property for the last 5 years with her horses . This is stopping as of now or she will be subject to arrest for polluting the area with horse manure and leaving tracks on the ground in my orchard. We have talked to her and she refuses to listen. Further more, the other neighbors feel the same way. She wants to have a horse arena on her property . This will surely cause a lot of accidents at the intersection of Carrolton and Mello . It ' s like an 80% blind corner . To the north there is a dip where cars are not easily seen and that is her entrance to one arena. She is planning on weekend horse shows and will have more vehicles than there is parking space. This will encourage people to park along side the road where there are almond trees . With people crossing the road there is a high risk of cars not slowing down and some one is going to get run over . You just don' t allow situations like this to be brought into the area. I can see a large problem with human sanitation. She had one port-a-potty for about 100 people. She should provide for both women and men as a lot of people aren't very careful .
