wrong place for a church because it will conflict with agricultural <br /> spraying and agricultural operations. He reads a letter from Joe <br /> Timura, of Timura Farms, who is opposed to the church site because <br /> of conflicts with the surrounding agricultural practices. He reads <br /> a letter from Chatfield Investment Company, which states that they <br /> have a wine bottling facility that might want to relocate in this <br /> area. Chatfield is opposed to the church site because of the heavy <br /> truck traffic that will be using the roads in the area. Mr. Hakeem <br /> said he cannot make Findings 3 , 4 , and 5 . <br /> Bill Cook (1242 Beverly Drive, Lodi) said the spray tower will be <br /> placed close to the manufacturing facility. The drainage ponds <br /> that will be removed to put in the tower will be replaced with <br /> storage tanks. <br /> Dennis Alexander (18678 N. State Route 99 , Acampo) , owner of <br /> California Concentrate, spoke of his concerns about conflicts <br /> between the church and the neighboring farm operations. <br /> REBUTTAL: <br /> Larry Wenell said Mr. Hakeem talked about the influences of the <br /> surrounding properties on the church and not the other way around. <br /> There are many schools and churches that are next to vineyards and <br /> other farming operations. There are not as many trucks as they <br /> say. The church is a low impact use. <br /> PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: <br /> Commissioner Demichelis said that the church can be growth <br /> inducing. Valley Air Pollution says that we need to use other <br /> forms of transportaton. This church use will increase the traffic <br /> because most members will be using their own cars. <br /> Commissioner Zunino said that we have approved other churches in <br /> locations where they have to drive their cars. Also, this <br /> particular location is rather close to Lodi. <br /> Commissioner Morri said that these church people will be coming <br /> from all over and not just from Lodi. They have approved other <br /> churches in other agricultural locations, but this church will <br /> contain 50 , 000 square feet of building. He cannot make Findings 4 <br /> and 5 . <br /> Commissioner Stockar said he could not make Findings 4 and 5 . He <br /> thinks there are some conflicts here. Perhaps the church can find <br /> another location. <br /> Commissioner Carter said there has to be a happy union between the <br /> chruch and the surrounding properties. She is not happy with this <br /> location. <br /> PC MINUTES -6- PC: 3-21-96 <br />
