Page 2 (cont.) <br /> 7) Should the trucks and trailers be used for the hauling and storage of hazardous <br /> materials,this would pose a potential for harm to not only the immediate <br /> neighborhood but also an extended area, including Micke Grove Park. <br /> 8) Ammonium nitrate, which is the active ingredient in most fertilizers used in <br /> the surrounding agricultural area,mixed with diesel fuel from leaking or <br /> ruptured tanks, creates a violent,explosive mixture. <br /> 9) The area is zoned I-T(Truck Terminal) and the General Plan designation is <br /> I/T(Truck Terminal). Section 9-500.1(e)of the County Ordinance defines an <br /> I-T zone in part"...to provide a location for truck terminals outside urban <br /> communities..." The continuing residential construction that is occurring in <br /> the area just south of Eight Mile Road certainly changes the surrounding area <br /> to an urban community. The truck terminal will no longer be"outside"of this <br /> expanding urban community when the residential construction is completed. <br /> 10) The proposed entrance to the truck terminal is Eight Mile Road. Large trucks <br /> entering and exiting from the facility will add to an already congested traffic <br /> area at Eight Mile Road and State Route 99. A lack of traffic control signals <br /> adds to the traffic hazard that will be created by these large trucks. A better- <br /> suited entrance would be from the West 99 Frontage, north of Eight Mile. <br /> The application referral notice indicated that a Negative Declaration is being proposed for <br /> adoption. Based on the comments stated above, I would disagree strongly that this <br /> project should have a Negative Declaration. I would recommend that the Community <br /> Development Department deny this project application. Please consider this to also be a <br /> request to be notified of the staff determination of this project and for copies of the initial <br /> study and proposed Negative Declaration. Should this project be referred to the Planning <br /> Commission for a public hearing, it is my intent to attend and speak in opposition. <br /> Thank you very much for your thoughtful consideration of this matter. <br /> Please feel free to contact me at any time. <br /> Sincerely: <br /> �CSerA-stopher <br /> pa <br /> 11272 N.
