RECEIVED JUL 0 2 1999 Lommulury UdVOUPIDerl,Uept. June 29, 1999 San Joaquin County Community Development Department Development Services Division 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Dear Development Services : We are writing this letter in response to your •notification to us of a proposed development of a regional church facility on West Lane ( application number : UP-99-14) We would like to suggest that the following points be considered . 1 ) TRAFFIC - Access to the facility would have to be from the south-bound lanes of West Lane . Traffic coming from Stockton would be making U-turns at Ham and West Lanes , an already unsafe intersection; unsafe because of fast moving traffic and, in winter, extremely dense fog in this area . The alternative would be to approach West Lane using Lower Sacramento Road and Mettler Road; greatly increasing traffic on a basically residential road . 2 ) AGRICULTURAL AREA - The proposed facility is next to an agricultural area where crop growth includes ground and aerial spraying; not a good place for a school. 3 ) ZONING - It is our understanding that current zoning precludes more than one single-family dwelling on 20 acres or less unless previously sub-divided . This project calls for two homes (parsonages) . Does current zoning allow for multiple use of property in this area? If this project were okayed, would we be free to propose any type of use and dense development of our land?? 4) RESIDENTIAL AREA - The land proposed for this church-school-athletic facility-housing development is in the middle of established residences . There are homes immediately to the south, east , and north of the property in question. The lights , noise, and traffic would significantly affect the lives of the homeowners of the area .
