LAIOP . <br /> Continued from At ^� <br /> lives just two houses away from <br /> the site. "The chemicals, the smell. <br /> ... What its going to do is create <br /> some lawsuits." <br /> Lynda Stagno said she and her <br /> husband hope to begin operating <br /> the business neat month. She said <br /> it will include a 25,000-square-foot <br /> barn, a 2,400-square-foot mobile <br /> home for office use and a 3,200- <br /> square-foot agricultural storage <br /> buikrmg. <br /> But the business isn't a go until <br /> the Regional Water Quality <br /> Control Board approves the oper- <br /> ation. <br /> Lathrop city officials tried to <br /> intervene during Tuesday's meet- <br /> ing, saying the city should have <br /> some influence on the decision <br /> because the site is near city Urn- <br /> its. <br /> Cltv Manager Pam Carder said <br /> the city chose to get involved <br /> because many residents have <br /> called city offices upset over the <br /> animals already being held on the <br /> property- <br /> "it"It still hasn't been pe <br /> yet animals are there, and a prob- <br /> lem still etdsts," she said. <br /> Lathrop's involvement irritated <br /> Supervisor Robert Cabral, who <br /> spent 20 years in the slaughter- <br /> house <br /> laughterhouse business and said he made <br /> the motion to approve the permit <br /> because the land is zoned for <br /> agricultural purposes. <br /> "We who are in the agriculture business either have to stick <br /> together or we'll be fiat out on <br /> our faces" he said. <br /> Simas, on the other hand, said <br /> he believed the board rushed into <br /> the decision. He said a revised <br /> proposal should have been <br /> brought back to the Planning <br /> Commission for approval before <br /> Tuesday's public hearing. <br /> "It's something I believe will <br /> come back and create a problem," <br /> he said. <br />
