L1/l.i/iU1JL la:Y1L tu»valY.lL Jennifer Jolley San Joaquin County Community Development Dept. November 13, 2002 Page 2 County's criteria of an equestrian related operation, therefore the county granted the use permit years ago to maintain there operation. The wood shaving operation has been vacant from this site for quite some time, well over the advised 12 months per Mr. Herzick and Ferrano. On or about 10/28/02 you stated to me there was an exception in the code which allowed the use permit to remain valid as long as the subject property was for sale. I did not observe any for sale signs on this property until well after the 12 months from the time the wood shaving operation had vacated. Do you have written proof the subject property was for sale? The fact that the property had lost its use permit to operate a business and returning back to the residential zoning has impacted my family's decision not to sell our home. As you can see the information provided by Mr. Herzick and Ferran that the property would lose its use permit if no like business occupied the property within 12 months highly impacted our financial and qualify of life decision to remain and not to sell. There is a row of houses that encompass Locke road on the same side of the street concurrently starting from Hwy. 88 and traveling West to Treathway Road. The only other property that is not residential is the Locke property adjacent to the subject property. The Locke property is a walnut hulling operation that only operates seasonally. The remainder of the properties is residential on this side of the street with agriculture surrounding. I will list our concerns in detail regarding a business operation located on the subject property: Points of Concern Traffic from the business employees and delivery vehicles. This traffic causes additional noise and an eyesore. Noise from the forklifts occurs during the day and night. The operation of a carpet warehouse and employees dispatching is inconsistent with country living and a residential setting. Lighting from the lights at the current structure are consistent with a business operation and are a nuisance to the remaining residential property owners. The obvious increased traffic from the delivery and employee vehicles will cause dust and particulate matter when vehicles are moved about the property. The fact that there is an estimate of 5-20 employees working next door leaves me a little uncomfortable when I leave my family alone. The reason I moved to the country is to get my family out and away from the city life and not next to a functional business with varied traffic patterns.
