October 4, 2004 San Joaquin County Reo'elve® Community Development Department Development Services Division 1810 E.Hazelton Ave. OCT 0 6 2004 Stockton, CA 95205 Co Bu Id ng DeIrIsvelop,hent L) PL ATTN: Kevin Swanson pectiOn Div RE: Application Number PA-0400498(UP) Roxanne Kalend &Howard Seligman P. O. Box 455 Seligman& Willet, Inc. Victor,CA 95253 7540 Shoreline Drive, Suite G Stockton, CA 95219 Dear Mr. Swanson: Please accept this as a letter in opposition to the above noted application referral notice recently received from your department. The concerns supporting the opposition are as follows: 1) Eight Mile Road,although heavily traveled, is not adequate for heavy truck traffic. The roadway is a standard rural roadway of only 24 feet wide. The area is not conducive to truck traffic and approval of this application would encourage heavy truck traffic in the area. This will cause damage in the form of wear and tear to the roadway. 2) There is a concern of future expansion by the applicants. The project description notes two phases of construction currently. There is a likelihood that there could be additional phases in the future. 3) Repair and servicing of the trucks on the property will cause oil to penetrate into the ground and contaminate the underground aquifer. All residences in the area are on separate wells and water contamination is of great concern. 4) A potential fire hazard already exists due to the current lack of maintenance of surrounding property. Dry grass and weeds cover the adjoining areas and allowing trucks only increases the fire hazard that already exists. 5) Truck traffic will cause dust and other debris to be circulated in the air,aside from the pollution from diesel engines. 6) Noise is another concern in that trucks generally run both day and night. Additionally, if the trailers are refrigeration units, noise will be constantly present from the refrigerators running.
