vacations or winter skiing, adds to the problem. To have soccer traffic <br /> slowing to make a left turn, or even a right turn if approaching the facility <br /> from the east, would severely complicate the matter. We see no allowance in <br /> the application for turn lanes. In fact, what appears to be permanent fencing <br /> has already been installed. Obviously the owner has no plans to allow any of <br /> his land to be used for slow traffic which is approaching or leaving the soccer <br /> complex. <br /> 3. It places on undue burden on the San Joaquin County Sheriff's <br /> Department to handle problems that may arise in this remote corner of the <br /> county. At present we rarely need a Sheriffs deputy out here,but we would <br /> hope that the soccer complex would be closely watched by the Sheriffs <br /> Department for the presence of drug trafficking or other illegal activities that <br /> so often occur where there is a crowd. We certainly don't want this going on <br /> at a facility that is for the benefit of the youth. If this project is for the youth <br /> of the community of Escalon, it should be in Escalon itself where the majority <br /> of the children reside. The Escalon police force would then have jurisdiction <br /> and it is already is place to patrol and monitor. It would take a while for a <br /> Sheriff deputy who is patrolling in the southeastern portion of the county to <br /> arrive to diffuse any problems. Time is usually of the essence when <br /> authorities are needed. <br /> As mentioned earlier;it appears that construction has already been <br /> commenced. Fencing is in, curbing for the driveway is in place, pavement is <br /> being laid and foundations for buildings have been formed - perhaps even <br /> poured by now. Has this been done without the benefit of a public hearing? <br /> Is the owner proceeding with no regard for going through proper procedures <br /> or has he been granted consideration prior to the public hearing? Is the <br /> public hearing merely perfunctory? <br /> Please consider our comments in opposition to the project. We feel a soccer <br /> complex is not compatible with the proposed location. <br /> Thank you. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> Wallace D. Heard <br /> Pauline E.
