RECEIVeD <br /> June 21,2004 JUN 2 8 2004 <br /> 12493 West Ripon Road Community Development <br /> Ripon,CA 95366 Dept, <br /> Mr. Leroy Ornellas,Supervisor <br /> Courthouse,Room 701 <br /> Stockton,CA 95202 <br /> Dear Mr.Ornellas: <br /> This letter is to advise you regarding the ongoing situation with the VFW Post 1051 presently <br /> occupying the former Old German Baptist Brethren Church at 12455 West Ripon Road. <br /> I apprised you of the many problems associated with this group on the six month reporting <br /> agreement. At that time,I sent you a report detailing specific violations of their agreement. I <br /> documented the time of day and each incident. As of this date,the situation has deteriorated to the <br /> point where it has become intolerable for my husband and me to live next door. They have disrupted <br /> our quiet,interrupted our sleep patterns,and have subjected us to vile and reprehensible behavior <br /> which is unseemly for people claiming to be patriots of this great country. Futhermore,not only have <br /> they violated their agreements which the Supervisors stipulated,they have broken laws. I will try to <br /> briefly tell my side of the story. <br /> Under the conditions of approval,dated April 10,2003,Article d(1) PARKING: To this date,cars <br /> are parked at random,with no regard to dust and noise.The parking spaces are not all surfaced as <br /> stipulated and there are no designated spaces. There was to be no parking east of the building. This <br /> has been consistently disregarded. There is a large pile of dirt next to my property. This dirt pile is <br /> huge. For whatever reason,probably to harass me,they piled this huge pile of dirt right next to my <br /> \ property. The dirt pile is about four feet high,25 feet long and wide enough that guests(?)have <br /> driven four wheel drive vehicles on top of it. You can come out here and see the tire marks for <br /> yourself. My back yard is no longer my private refuge. These people have not only driven on top of <br /> the dirt pile,they have climbed to the top of the pile and peered into my yard. Not only have I lost <br /> my privacy,the dust comes into my pool,causing yellow algae. MORE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM <br /> LATER,and what I want done about this. <br /> Article i. (1) SCREENING: Trash bins are not screened. Debris has spilled over into my yard. <br /> Article i.(2) SCREENING: No masonry wall has been erected. I want at least a 10 foot stone wall <br /> erected. This wall MUST meet aesthetic standards. I do not want to feel like I am in a prison. This <br /> wall also MUST keep dust and noise to a minimum. I will not negotiate on this item. <br /> Article m: Overnight recreational vehicle parking. This has been violated several times,including <br /> people bringing their dogs which yip and bark at inappropriate times. <br /> Article d.(1&2)PARKING: Parking does not occur in designated spaces. Cars are parked <br /> randomly wherever they please. Areas of the property that are not used for parking are NOT kept <br /> free of traffic;Thus,the dust problem is continual. In the 20 years that I have had a pool,it has only <br /> been since the VFW has occupied this property that I have a CONTINUAL problem with yellow <br /> algae,which is caused by dust. <br /> Article n: Outdoor amplified music: The latest incident is illustrative of the VFW's violation of this <br /> agreement. On June 19,Saturday night,the facility was obviously rented out for a Mexican <br /> wedding. The music was amplified so that we were bombarded with this until 12:00 midnight. At <br /> 12:30 a.m. there were fireworks set off. WERE ANY PERMITS SECURED FOR THIS? Let me <br /> recount the preceding events of this VERY DISTRESSING DAY. About 3:30 in the afternoon,our <br />
