May 28,1999 <br /> S. J. County Development Departmant <br /> Development Services Division <br /> Attention: Kerry Sullivan <br /> 1810 E. Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> I am writing regarding the proposed labor camp that is again being considered on Harney <br /> Lane. I have many of the same concerns that have already been expressed by our community. ( <br /> IE. Environmental impact, public services like Sheriff and Fire Dept., public utilities, open sewage <br /> pits and traffic). In addition to these I would like to express a couple of concerns which may not <br /> have been previously raised. <br /> I live on Tokay Colony Rd.,just South of Harney Lane. My concern is the amount of <br /> bypass traffic that already occurs on a daily basis. Every weekend I watch vehicles loaded with <br /> trash headed for the land fill, and I wonder why they use this road to travel. Tokay Colony Rd. <br /> runs East to Tully Rd. and it is there that these vehicles unload items that are not taken at the land <br /> fill without paying an extra fee. Items such as tires, railroad ties, dead farm animals, mattresses <br /> and whole bags of trash are what is dumped. <br /> I understand that a road survey was previously completed on Harney Lane to determine <br /> it's ability to handle the increased traffic should the labor camp be built. But I don't think that <br /> anyone has taken into consideration what happens when the traffic is backed up leaving the labor <br /> camp. <br /> Logic will tell us that if the road out of the labor camp is backed up drivers will find an <br /> alternate route to reach their destination. The first street off Harney leaving the camp would be <br /> Tully Rd. That is where my concern is, because Tokay Colony Rd. is the first road which runs <br /> between Tully and Jack Tone. The second road is Live Oak Rd.. It also runs East and West and <br /> is accessed from Tully Rd.. At the corner of Live Oak Rd. and Jack Tone Rd. is an elementary <br /> school. I am concerned with the increased traffic and potential accidents around the elementary <br /> school and surrounding side roads where our children are waiting for school buses. <br /> I am asking that you please take into consideration that Harney Lane would not be the <br /> only street subjected to increased traffic should the labor camp be approved. <br /> In addition, it is my understanding that the labor camp is to be year round housing. Are <br /> the occupants of this camp going to have year round work or is it seasonal? Will our county be <br /> subjected to un-employment and/or welfare expenses? <br /> Please, when considering the proposed labor camp, take a good look and the whole <br /> picture and what a major impact it would have on the entire community. <br /> Sincerely Concerned, <br /> 11� <br /> C0. <br /> Mr. Douglas Roe and Family <br />
