October 7 , 1987 <br /> San Joaquin County Planning Commission <br /> 1830 E. Hazelton <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> RE: SITE APPROVAL APPLICATION NO. SA-88-7 <br /> Pauline Nguyen c/o Khan Van Bui , Hollenbeck Rd <br /> Custom Slaughterhouse <br /> I would like to express my opposition to the application. <br /> First of all , it is not the type of operation that I would <br /> like to have as a neighbor and feel that the opertion of a <br /> slaughterhouse is not compatible with other farming operations <br /> in our neighborhood. My husband is part of a cattle ranching <br /> family, however animals are not kept at our location. Many <br /> years ago, the family wanted to put in a feedlot on part of this <br /> location, but decided that it would be offensive, not only to us , <br /> but to our neighbors , and so it was not done. <br /> Since them, some other types of operations have gone in under <br /> the ag zoning that have made changes in this area. These sites <br /> produce strong odors , and when the wind is right, there are <br /> nights that we can ' t even open our windows due to the odors , <br /> and I would have additional concerns about this operation <br /> adding to the current problem. <br /> Hollenbeck Road wasn ' t built for a lot of heavy travel . . . there <br /> have been manyyears that we have "slided from mud puddle to <br /> puddle"to navigate it. The increased heavy travel of this <br /> proposed operation would add to the continued breakdown of <br /> the road. <br /> Knowing the condition ofthe current buildings on this land, <br /> there are also concerns of sanition and health standards being <br /> established and monitored. <br /> I have heard that in addition the operation would not be <br /> conducted by the property owner, but leased to someone else. <br /> If this is so, it makes the operation even more of a commercial <br /> venture not compatible to our area. <br /> I urge the Planning Commission to not approve this application <br /> for a slaughterhouse. <br /> Laura Tower <br /> 17265 E.
