i� <br /> BALLATORE RANCH <br /> Bert & Jackie Ballatore <br /> 19988 S. Carrolton Road <br /> Ripon, CA 95366 <br /> March 16, 2001 <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health Dept. <br /> 222 E. Weber Ave. <br /> Stockton, CA 95202 <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> This letter is regarding the site approval application for a commercial poultry farm <br /> submitted by Johnzeb Kahn at 19171 E. Mello Ave., Ripon (#SA-99-53). <br /> Our home and farm, at 19988 S. Carrolton Rd., are less than `/2 mile Northeast of <br /> the proposed site. We strongly object to the development of this property as a poultry <br /> farm for 90,000 chickens. <br /> About 6 years ago, we met with representatives of the San Joaquin County Health <br /> Department, because of an uncontrollable number of flies which had infested our <br /> neighborhood. These flies could be easily traced to open, and untreated, ponds of poultry <br /> waste which Mr. Kahn had on the said property. <br /> At the time of our meeting, Mr. Kahn made many verbal promises to our <br /> community as to what his plans were for the property. In fact, all these years have gone <br /> by, and until recently when construction was begun on a house, none of these promises <br /> have been kept. Therefore, Mr. Kahn's credibility with us is not very reliable. <br /> For the reasons of environmental health, as well as neighborhood preservation, we <br /> ask that this application be denied. <br /> Rfully/3-&-A-r� <br /> e13 rt & Jackie Ballater ore, <br /> Ballatore Ranch <br />
