53 j WILDWOOD MANUFACTURING CORPORATION • Furnishings Beyond the Ordinary P.O. BOX 1268 LODI, CA 95241-1268 (209) 333-8058 September 30, 1986 San Joaquin County Planning Div . 1810 E . Hazelton Ave . Stockton , CA 95205 Ref : Application for site approval The proposed use of this site is for temporary storage of grape- vines only . There are to be no employees at the site except those who accompany a truck either dumping or loading vines . All employees work out of Wildwood ' s Lodi factory . During the period when vines are being taken out of production ( usually right after harvest in September ) , the farmers are anxious to get their land cleared as fast as possible . In order to expedite the process , Wildwood hauls the grapevines out by tractor-trailor and temporarily dumps them at the Pine Street site . After the rush is over , we haul them away at a more liesure- ly pace . Our plan is to stack them on pallets and take them to the factory on a flat-bed truck . Depending on how far we are hauling in-coming vines , we could bring in as many as 10 loads in a day , for a period of perhaps 6 weeks out of the year . We will normally have no more than one load going out in a day . The process of loading a truck will involve as many as three people for an hour . A front-end loader may be used to pick up a ' bucket ' of vines and spread them out . Then they must be stacked on pallets by hand . Finally , the loader is used to set the pallets on the flat-bed . Wildwood is making no modifications to the land . Drainage will not be affected by Wildwood ' s use , and access will be no more than if the property were used for purely agricultural purposes. This use of grapevines reduces air pollution and fire hazard , as the alternative is to burn them s they are removed from P�-vduc tion. � Regards , j Nd'rri`s S . Goff v ' President i
