6 . A new traffic study should be required, in view of the fact that the last one is many years old. 7 . Farming operations of established vineyards are in place on both east and west sides of the proposed subdivision, assuring that this group of houses will be isolated and not compatible with existing usage of the land. 8 . These farming operations require the application of pesticides and herbicides ; such applications will soon be complained about . (As in the case of the subdivision built under the approach to an existing airport runway which, upon occupancy, immediately starts to complain about the noise! ) 9 . These same farming operations require the use of noisy and large equipment, and the use of Locke Road, which would be incompatible with the large number of automobiles envisioned, traveling in this speed-limitless area. At harvest, large, slow-moving trucks and heavy equipment will be used in close proximity to the proposed homes . 10 . The influx of small children will require the secure fencing of the project to avoid possible accidents in the farming operations . This will also present a burden to the farmers who will have to assure the security of their property, particularly during actual operations . This may well require an expensive fencing outlay which would otherwise not be required. At the very least, a high sound wall will be necessary. 11 . The old Lockeford Winery, while under new ownership, still has many toxic waste problems, presenting another safety and attractive nuisance hazard within a few hundred feet of the proposed subdivision. 12 . The proposed "retention pond" will be nothing more than a mosquito breeding facility, and can hardly be considered an "amenity" . 13 . Present sewage facilities in the Lockeford area are unlikely to be adequate for a development of the size envisioned. Will the present residents of the are be required to pay for the increase required? Will present users of septic tanks near to the proposed subdivision be required to "hook up" to a sewage facility at considerable expense? If so, the developers of the property in question should bear all such expenses if this proposal were to be granted. 14 . The heavy industry right across the street from the proposed subdivision is an 18 to 24 hour operation, very brightly lit at night, and again, a safety hazard for small children. 15 . It is highly unlikely that this project will ever be economically viable. The result will be a number (and
