�yS4- 93 -27 <br /> D <br /> J U L 9 1993 <br /> As residents and owners of properties near theGOoeUmiivtmurmtNTDEPT. <br /> PLANNING DIVISION <br /> Doornenbal Dairy, we have several very serious concerns regarding <br /> the proposed expansion of the dairy operation. <br /> The installation of the storage pond will create many <br /> undesirable side effects. This point is undeniable. The <br /> population density of the area, particularly to the south and <br /> southwest of the proposed pond, is much higher than the AG-40 <br /> zoning might indicate. The Rossier Tract, adjacent to the <br /> proposed pond, is divided into thirty-nine parcels - all much <br /> smaller than the current minimum of forty acres. Twenty-five of <br /> these parcels are five acres or less. All these properties have <br /> homes on them. A large number of families will be affected by <br /> - these undesirable side effects. <br /> The waste pond would essentially be a raw sewage storage <br /> facility. The property owners in the area would realize an <br /> immediate depreciation of their property values. The odor from <br /> the sewage could be overwhelming at times; at the very least it <br /> will be a nuisance. The odor represents a form of air pollution <br /> that should not be imposed on the current residents. <br /> We are also concerned about the effects the expansion could <br /> have on our water supply, and possible contamination. It seems <br /> highly questionable whether the eighteen acre parcel can tolerate <br /> the amount of waste water that will be generated by a dairy <br /> milking 400 cows. Although the waste water should be contained <br /> in the sewage pond, it is our contention that excessive pumping <br />
