SUN-22-1994 93:37PM FROM W.G. Darsie Consulting iu 14bb.51b.5 William G. Darsie P.O. Box 458 19250 Desiree Lane Woodbridge, CA 95258 (209) 369-3933 June 20, 1994 Mr. Chandler Martin San Joaquin Co. Community Development Department Development Services Division 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Re: Environmental and Planning comments relative to Application No.: UP - 94- 9 (Woodbridge Community Church) Dear Mr. Martin: As a homeowner in the immediate area of the proposed church, I am deeply concerned from both an environmental and planning standpoint The proposed project would have a severe impact on the local environment from its immediate proximity to the Mokelumne river. The impacts would include, but are not limited to: 1. By providing a parking area near the river, many more people will be using the river, thus impacting the rivers natural habitat area and wildlife. The area would become a littered eroded over used area prone to crime, araffiti fires, dumping illegal fishing and the disturbance of native species. 2. Considering the above mentioned increase in usage of the river, I would suspect that there would be Impacts on any endangered spedes Present in the immediate area such as Swainsons hawk and the local Sermon and Steelhead spawning nuns. 3. Increased noise caused by having a large parking area would certainly be an environmental impact_ The impact would be created not only from church activities, but also from the publics use (legally or illegally) for a tum around spot, a river take out point, a gathering point for late night revelers etc. If this project is allowed, 1 would suggest that either the project applicant or the County build a sound wall to insulate the Country Club Vista Development, and in particular, the Desiree Lane residents from the increased noise levels that will be caused by the project
