JUL 15 1991 COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENI DEPT. PIANNING DIVISION July 9, 1991 San Joaquin County Planning Division 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, California 95205 Re : Application: SA-91-39 Applicant: Ken Silveira 15966 No Linn Rd Lodi, Ca 95290 Description: Site approval for a kennel and 25 dogs . Purpose : Letter of protest from the residents of Linn Road . Dear Mr . Chandler T. Martin, This letter is in response to the application for a dog kennel permit at 15966 No Linn Road by Mr . Ken Silveira . There are many reasons why the residents of this community do not want this dog kennel to be approved . I hope you and the Commission will agree to what our grievances are and can be helpful in allowing us to maintain a peaceful existence . After reviewing the application, it is obvious to us that irregularities already exist, that you in particular, have over looked. First of all, the applicant Earleen Guroos, no longer resides in the area . She has sold the property to Ken Silveira several months ago and has nothing to loose by allowing another dog kennel into this area . Did I mention another dog kennel; we already have one legal kennel and one illegal kennel in our area . These kennels are all within 1/2 mile of one another . With approval of this kennel, we have the potential of having in excess of over 75 dogs in a one-half mile radius, and we think that is outrageous . It is not unusual for local bureaucracies to overlook the real needs of the public in order to facilitate an over burdened work load and just pass the paper through in order to get it off your desk . But, we have a serious crises here that needs to be addressed in a serious manner . Other problems that exist are that of agriculture, safety, and health. First of all, this area that is zoned agriculture, is not your standard rural area . Though the zoning has never changed, the area has changed . The town of Lockford, which is 1 1/2 miles away, is one of the fastest growing areas around .
