—We 6601 S. Stanley Road Stockton, Calif. 95215 August 20, 1992 Chandler T. Martin San Joaquin County AUG 21 1992 Dept. of Planning &Building Inspection WMMUNIT" 1810 E. Hazelton D&ELLw. r,.;_; Stockton, California 95205 PANNING DIVISION Dear Mr. Chandler. I would like to voice my strong objection to the proposed two parcel subdivision of Assessor Parcel No. 187-070-23. I am the owner/operator of the adjoining property. First I must state that I do not disagree with the need for agricultural homesites as described in Section 9-4005(b) or Section 9-4104(b) of the Planning Title in that they are adopted for: 1. The purpose of enhancing the agricultural productivity of farm land, and 2. that homesite parcels created by the owner/operator are not under this provision, intended for sale or transfer to other parties. My specific disagreements with this proposed action are as follows: 1. The proposed split will not enhance agricultural productivity over the current parcel size. I might add, no evidence or opinion has been advanced at to this point. Also, the "new" parcel has no independent agricultural water source. 2. This property has been for sale as evidenced by an active exclusive saies contract for most of the time since purchased over two years ago. Only in the last month has it= been offered for sale. 3. The current owner is not an owner/operator. The property has not been farmed since its purchase by the current owner.-"Farmed" is defined as risking capital for retum in farm commodities. No farm receipts have resulted since purchase by the current owner. The lack of significant inputs and no returns in commodities indicate the current owner in not the REQUIRED OWNER/OPERATOR.
