Dec.19.2000 <br /> To: Tina Wehrmeister <br /> 209.468.3163 <br /> re: application number UP-00-22 <br /> proposed soccer complex <br /> Dear Tina. <br /> Having just learned of the above mentioned project proposal, we must voice our <br /> concern to it's implementation. <br /> Our concerns involve not only the potential degradation of our rural and <br /> agriculturally based community,but the safety of the participants and spectators involved <br /> in the sports at the proposed complex.. <br /> The complex is to be situated on very busy state highway 120, with limited access <br /> from the highway and what seems to be insufficient parking on the property. This can only <br /> lead to traffic congestion,illegal parking, people running across the highway, and <br /> eventually injuries and deaths. Many of us who have lived in this area for any period of <br /> time have experienced or witnessed tragic accidents on highway 120. The surrounding <br /> roads are not designed to handle overflow parking, and property damage to orchards, <br /> fences,vehicles and pastures is likely. <br /> Another potential area of concern is the need to apply agricultural chemicals for <br /> pest and weed management. The facility borders on orchards and vineyards, both of which <br /> need several applications per season of various products to protect and enhance the crops. <br /> Almond and walnut harvests occur during soccer season and are a source of large <br /> amounts of dust,irritants, and the presence of heavy harvesting equipment. <br /> We are not opposed to a soccer facility, in fact we have participated in the sport <br /> and have family members who currently compete. We are opposed to the location of the <br /> proposed complex for the reasons mentioned above_ A complex in a more appropriate <br /> area would be an asset to Escalon and it's residents, and further enhance the quality of life <br /> in our town. <br /> Please place us on the mailing list for future information about this project. <br /> Glenn Graham and Jane Ayers <br /> 30835 Rossier Rd. <br /> Escalon, CA. 95320 <br /> 209.838.8005 <br /> Td Wtl0Z:60 0002 OZ '0a(I £9S6 92S 602 'ON Xtfd x 'ONI 831N30 kfd3WH0 : WOH-d <br />
