Depot Master Dr. Tracy, CA 95304 August 17, 2005 San Joaquin County Community Development Department Development Services Division 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Below are my requests concerning Application Number PA-0500468 (SA), a small winery located at 8338 W.Linne Road,Tracy, California. Please note that I do not oppose the proposal of a winery being located at the above site, providing that close consideration be given to the fact that a middle school and a neighborhood are located down the road. A winery could be a positive contribution to the area if social and environmental responsibilities are appropriately practiced. • Smell is a concern during fermentation,production, and at the end of harvest. All measures must be taken to eliminate unpleasant odors during these processes(i.e., closed vats/containment during fermentation, immediate removal of waste, etc.) • Notification and/or reduction of toxic chemicals being sprayed is requested to reduce the negative impact on children located in the nearby neighborhoods and school. • If a tasting room is on the premises, limited amounts of alcohol shall be served per person to eliminate the possibility of intoxicated drivers leaving the premises. All legal measures must be taken to ensure that individuals are not served enough alcohol to become intoxicated beyond the legal limits and that they are not served if they arrive on the premises in an intoxicated state. (Please remember that there is a school and a neighborhood nearby.) • I request that the winery will not be granted permission to hold events until further review (i.e., weddings, social gatherings,parties, and functions). The venue must be able to contain all vehicles and persons within their property limits. Increased traffic,noise, drunk drivers, and pollution are a few concerns associated with a venue that hosts social events. This must be given close consideration to ensure that the infrastructure can handle the increased flow of traffic and that neighborhoods are not negatively impacted by events that occur. All activities must occur during reasonable hours of the day. Noise must be held to a minimum and all measures must be taken to ensure that this is practiced. Please notify me of the staff determination of this project. Thank you for the opportunity to express my concerns. �1 Sincerely, Sherene Shanke)
