San Joaquin County <br /> Community Development Department <br /> Development Services Division <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue JUN <br /> Stockton CA 95205 Gomm 0 0 2000 <br /> ugily u <br /> Steve and Linda Blain Nl <br /> 16134 W. Redondo Dr. va <br /> Tracy CA 95376 <br /> (209)832-5043 <br /> June 28,2000 <br /> Community Development Department: <br /> As residents of the Santos Ranch/Lammersville rural community we vehemently oppose the Mountain <br /> House Development for a number of reasons. <br /> 1) Traffic......We have seen our carpool commute time from Tracy to San Ramon TRIPLE in the <br /> last 6 years. With Patterson Pass as the only conveniently accessible on-ramp from the proposed <br /> Mountain House Community to I-205 and I-5,we suspect traffic congestion will become even <br /> more horrendous. <br /> 2) Taxes........We feel our tax money should be invested in revitalization of downtown Tracy,NOT <br /> subsidizing new roads,schools and utilities. We need to invest in quality,not quantity. <br /> 3) Quality of Life.......We moved to Santos Ranch because of the quiet,rural lifestyle. With the new <br /> development we will loose open spaces to ride our horses, irreplaceable farmland will disappear, <br /> wildlife will be driven further away, and the stars will disappear as the night sky remains bright. <br /> We feel this development will greatly diminish the quality of life in west Tracy. <br /> The bottom line should not always be money and profit. <br /> Thank you for taking our letter in consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Steve Blain <br /> Linda Blain <br />
