Patrick M. Hensley <br /> P.O. Box 746 <br /> Lockeford, CA 95237 <br /> Home Phone(209)3343660 <br /> May 27, 1999 <br /> S.J. County Community Development Department <br /> Attn: Kerry Sullivan <br /> 1810 Hazleton Ave. <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> Dear Ms. Sulivan, <br /> This letter is to inform you of my opposition to application#UP-98-18,the proposed labor camp facility to <br /> be built by Mr. Jose Rios. <br /> I,along with my neighbors,find no need for such a camp, since one run by the county Housing Authority <br /> is already in place here. Another concern I have deals with the increase in traffic. This,combined with the <br /> consumption of alcohol at this camp presents a possible increase to a problem which faces our society,driving <br /> while intoxicated. My teenage sister will shortly be obtaining her license. With all the additional cars this facility <br /> would create,combined with the impairing effects alcohol has on coordination and judgment, I fear greatly for not <br /> only her safety,but for my own and that of my parents. Gambling, although illegal in California will be allowed <br /> on the premises. They also have op plans to control the possession of firearms. This poses an even greater threat <br /> to our safety. For example,while gambling, say a person becomes intoxicated. What happens then if that person <br /> loses? If they have access to a gun, this can be a deadly combination. There is only one sheriffs deputy assigned <br /> to the north county,which lengthens a response time, as well as the fact that the Linden-Peters Fire Department is <br /> miles away,thus the essential services of fire,ems, and police are too inadequate in this area to be able to handle <br /> an influx of 400 more people. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Patrick M.Hensley (( <br />
