Box 830 <br /> Lockeford, CA 95237-0830 <br /> 209-727-5504 <br /> FAX 209-727-5820 <br /> March 17, 1998 <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Community Development Department <br /> Development Services Division <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> RE: Application #SU-98-1 by JSA Properties and RLC Associates <br /> Dear W. Gau, <br /> I am writing this letter to express our strong opposition to the application for the residential subdivision <br /> named above. Star Building Systems and our parent company, the Robertson-Ceco Corporation, object <br /> to the development of a residential subdivision directly behind our property. <br /> Star Building Systems manufactures pre-engineered metal buildings and employs approximately 150 <br /> people from the surrounding area. Our twenty-four acre operation generates industrial noise, light, and <br /> dust. We operate twenty hours per day, six days per week, and fifty-two weeks per year. This <br /> operation was established in 1975 and has operated in this manner without resistance from our sparse <br /> neighbors. Our industrial facility is not compatible with a residential subdivision with eighty-eight <br /> homes. As you are well aware, a residential neighborhood will lead to significant number of complaints <br /> and will likely result in restrictions in the manner in which we conduct our business. Ultimately, such <br /> complaints may cause the relocation of Star Building Systems' Lockeford Facility. <br /> In addition, we are concerned that the County and State governments will increase our current <br /> regulations, making it more difficult to operate our business. Our air pollution and storm water pollution <br /> permits will impose further restrictions, as our Hazardous Materials Management Plan becomes more <br /> difficult to implement. This project would also significantly increase our Proposition 65 liability because <br /> of the increased population living in such a close proximity to our operation. <br /> Please recognize and bear in mind these issues in your analysis of this application. Thank you for your <br /> consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Paul Hodnett <br /> Plant Manager MAR 1 8 ic3 <br /> Western Region <br /> �;;;,,m�nri� ue�;ei��:me Lehr. <br /> lCER ryt,,, <br /> p � <br /> 2 <br /> 12101 East Brandt Road, Lockeford, CA 95237 <br />
