�l. RIVER ISLANDS RF A T. E_ A T H R O P co Z OS °p November`16,2005 eft plot. Ms. Kathy Allen San Joaquin County Community Development Department 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Subject: PA-0500729, Olivera Family Limited Partner—Poultry Farm and Packing Operation Dear Kathy: We were made aware of this application from an adjacent property owner. In looking at the application referral given to us,it appears that the proposed use is very close to our property on Cohen Road (APN: 213-230-01,just across Old River). We also received your fax of the initial study last evening (the fax indicates it was sent at 6:18 p.m.) and we have not seen any other detailed information about this application. However, in reviewing the information we do have, we would like to make you aware of the following concerns we have the project proposal: 1. Project Siting: The proposed use, while permitted within the AG-80 zoning district, has the potential for creating a number of environmental impacts. The site plan (which is not very detailed) shows the processing plant, poultry houses and packing room in close proximity to Old River. We are puzzled by this location, since the subject site includes over 108 acres and the proposed use is only 6 acres. We are concerned about the siting of this use and its waste handling operations so close to the San Joaquin River system.

Our project, which is within a few hundred feet from the proposed use, will contain 11,000 residential dwelling units alone. The City of Lathrop approved a vesting tentative map for the first phase of development for the initial 4,300 units; see attached map. Homes within this map area are slated for construction in the fourth quarter of 2006 and will be directly downwind from the proposed use. In addition, there are over 8,000 units across the San Joaquin River that are approved and many have already been constructed.
