USE PERMIT NO.UP-99-22 OF RICHARD& LYNDA STAGNO for a wholesale slaughterhouse to include a 6,700-square-foot abattoir(slaughterhouse),a 2,400-square-footnon-residential mobile home to be used as an office building,a 3,200-square-footagricultural storage building, a 25,000- square-foot barn,and a 4,000-square-foot freezer to be completed in two phases over five years. The freezer will be constructed as Phase 2. The project site is located on the south side of Frewert Road,4600 feet west of Interstate 5,west of Lathrop(Supervisorial District 3). Kai Luoma,Associate Planner,introduced the staff report into the record. Commissioner Morri said that the project description states that the facility will operate five to seven days a week,from 5:00 a.m.to 7:00 p.m. However,Regional Water Quality Control states in one of their paragraphs that it is only going to be operational five days per week. Kai Luoma said that that staff report contained a typographical error, and the hours should read 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: PROPONENTS: Richard Stagno said he did not know what to say about all the people who showed up for his item. He told the Commissioners that he did not buy the property to cause any problems with anybody in the neighborhood. He informed the Commissioners that the barns are cleaned every day and that 500 animals slaughtered a day is not a lot. He also added that the animals to be slaughtered would be pigs, Iambs, and goats. CommissionerCarter asked if he would have any cattle. Mr. Stagno said no, maybe veal. Commissioner Eley asked about the number of trucks per day. Mr. Stagno said there may be three trucks per day-wholesale only, no retail. Mike Huggins,Environmental Health,explained the Waste Management Plan. Commissioner Solari asked what conditions were not met that resulted in the original Use Permit expiring. Ben Hulse,Director,said that none of the conditions of the Waste Management Plan were met. Georgianna Reichelt (3605 E. Louise Avenue, Manteca) said the slaughterhouse was an acceptable agricultural use in an agricultural area, but once again, farming and farming businesses are facing another attack from residences. Robin Stagno said that her husband works for Mr. Stagno and feels that that this is a personal issue between the opposing neighbors. OPPONENTS: Jerry Ogden (Manteca Unified School District)asked the Planning Commissioners to consider possible long term repercussions because the State might balk at allowing the school district to build a new school in the area. He said that the presence of a slaughterhouse next to a proposed school site was not a good idea. PC MINUTES -4- PC: 1-6-2000
