Don Moyer, P.O. Box 207, Ripon, spoke in favor of homesite parcels. He submitted an informal "poll" which he and Mr. Mike Quartaroli conducted concerning the "rights" of property owners to have homesite parcels. He also 'stated that he felt that the text amendment was inadequate with respect to providing homesite parcels to elderly farmers for retirement purposes. John Eilers, Linden, said he preferred the version of the Text ASmendment considered in August to the one being considered at this time. He said this proposal conflicts with general plan policies and it creates an elite group of farmers and then subsidizes them by allowing them to create homesite parcels. Bob Lauchland, 3855 Turner Rd. , Lodi, spoke in favor of homesite parcels for family members of farmers. He stated that the text amendment would not allow him to create a homesite parcel which could be sold separately because the parent parcel, which was owned by his father, was less than 40 acres in size. Leroy Ornellas, 20749 Lammers Rd. , Tracy, asked for clarification of some of the provisions, and said he supported this with some reservation. He was in favor of homesites for financing for the farmer and the long-time landowner who wants to live on his land. In answer to a question, Mr. Factor said the amendment had been reviewed by title companies and the financing option was acceptable and would not cause any undue problems for them.
