Our premises are immediately north of the proposed <br /> Islamic Center on Lower Sacramento Road. We have two concerns with this application. <br /> First, traffic. As more houses are built in Lodi, the traffic count on Lower Sacramento Road is <br /> increasing. Southbound motorists leaving the stop sign at Harney Lane often pass slower cars, <br /> right in front of our property, and the proposed center. The Application for a Use Permit lists an <br /> expected 20 vehicle trips per shift, yet the Notice of Public Hearing says the plan is for a worship <br /> ball for up to 400 worshippers_ If you use 3 people per vehicle, that works out to 133 vehicles on <br /> whatever day worship is to be held. Already a berm has been built along the road, with a fence <br /> along the top. This fence partially obscures the line of vision of anyone exiting our property onto <br /> Lower Sacramento Road, and creates an additional traffic hazard. We urge your department to <br /> consider the impact of over 100 additional vehicles turning off and onto Lower Sacramento <br /> Road. There is also the secondary question of adequate parking for all these vehicles. The <br /> Application states that there will be 203 parking spaces. Will this parking area, including any <br /> driving areas between the parking area and Lower Sacramento Road, be paved to mitigate dust? <br /> Our second concern is water and septic systems. We fear that an additional well and septic <br /> system will negatively affect our existing well, and want to know that procedures are followed to <br /> avoid this. <br /> We appreciate your attention to our concerns_ <br /> Sine e <br /> Va ey Landsctzping, Inc. <br /> IDonald Oliver <br /> I'resident <br />
