4. Dust- large aerator fans blow dust from the inside of the houses which in turn creates a fog of dust over the back portion of our property.This unhealthy dust has caused respiratory problemswithin our family.Valley Air District has been notified several times with our air quality concerns.There is no filter system on these fans. In conclusion;we feel that the poultry farm should remain as it stands today and should not be allowed ter-expand.The existing-farm should be maintained to the-best of their ability at it's present capacity.There are properties available that are-away from family homes that would be better suited for a poultry farm of the size that they wish to build.We purchased our property with the poultry farm's capacity as it is.Had the farm housed 700;000 birds, we would not have considered purchasing our parcel in which tobuild our faulty dream home.We are aware of San Joaquin County's right-to-farm policy, but an expansion of ANY size could result in health- risks to ourselves as well as neighboring families.The expansion would also decrease our land values.These are our family homes, homes where the elderly as well as small children live.We feel that we should be able to live comfortably and enjoy a life free of any additional inconveniences or discomforts.This project,if approved,would impact too many lives in our neighborhood.We ask that our homes and our health be taken into consideration by the San Joaquin County Community Development Department, as well as the by the property owner William Huang, and the applicant, Richard Jenkins.Our fate is in your hands to make the right decision on our behalf. Please ask yourselves, "Would I want to live by this poultry farm?" and be honest with your answer. Life is short and all we are asking is to be able to be neighborly with each other and live in peace.
