03/24/10 <br /> San Joaquin County Community Development Dept. <br /> R.E.Application QX-89-0002 <br /> We have lived and worked on River Rd.in Escalon for the past 43 years. During this <br /> time we have had a good relationship with the Munn&Perkins gravel facility however in <br /> recent years we have become very concerned with the unregulated expansion of the plant <br /> and all of the related nuisances that come with it. We feel that Munn&Perkins should <br /> not be allowed any further expansion of the capacity of their plant or hours of operation. <br /> As a result of continually putting more trucks and material thm their plant they have <br /> simply outgrown their current location- They are taking away our ability to use and <br /> enjoy our homes and farms,and we are worried about our land values as our area of <br /> River Rd. seems to have become an industrial tract. <br /> We realize that the gravel plant provides essential elements to the county to build and <br /> maintain roads and infrastructure and that they have the right to use their property to their <br /> desires just as we should be allowed to have that right. We have never opposed any of <br /> their operations or projects, however,now the noise,dust,truck traffic,and now often <br /> times the smell of burning rubber are no longer contained on their property and have <br /> become too much for us to overlook any longer. We can no longer stand quietly by and <br /> feel that we must oppose this application for expanded hours of operation <br /> One of the most troubling areas of concern for nice operations is that many of the <br /> timees they run at nite they seem to use rubberized asphalt,the stench of which permeates <br /> the area irritating our eyes and lungs. Last summers rite run is a prime example,there <br /> was little or no air movement when they were mixing in the rubber and we were forced to <br /> endure close to seven weeks of the smoke and smell on a project that was originally only <br /> to run ten days. <br /> In closing, the plant is allowed to run 7 days a week 16 hours per day please,allow us <br /> to have the last 8 hours to enjoy our homes and yards without the noise smell and dust of <br /> this constantly growing monster in our back yards. <br /> Thank-you, <br /> Phil and Mary Adrian <br />
