Sanfilippo,Giuseppe [CDD] <br /> From: Diana Alves<dianaalves@sbcglobal.net> <br /> Sent: Wednesday,February 5,2020 2:54 PM <br /> To: Sanfilippo,Giuseppe <br /> Subject: Request for hearing delay and opposition letter Permit PA-1800316 <br /> As a landowner of the lands impacted by Permit PA-1800316 I request a delay of the hearing to be held on February 6, <br /> 2020.A notice of this hearing has a postage stamp date of 1/27/2020.It did not arrive until 1/30 and brought to my <br /> attention on 1/31/2020.1 did not receive any other notices.I have not had adequate time to study this nor could I <br /> change my plans for being out of the area in order to attend this meeting. <br /> The surrounding land owners have not been fairly treated.Most never received a notice.I request that all land owners <br /> within a mile or even 2 miles be notified as the stench of 244 yearly tons of manure will be great,especially for us who <br /> are directly downwind. {Monthly total of 20 tons}.These figures are from the manure management assessment. <br /> The manure management plan has a lot to be desired.An assessment still has to be made regarding if pens are used in <br /> pasture. <br /> It also mentions the weather.The Diablo winds blow in our area.It is a fierce wind that has blown gravel on the ground <br /> like missiles.It blows several times a year.In addition,it's not uncommon to have high wind advisories in our area.Is my <br /> front yard and house to be pelted by manure?All of the manure needs to be fully contained. <br /> There are other concerns regarding the safety of our water and drainage.There are concerns regarding flies and <br /> mosquitoes as well.Also,our crops use air pesticide spraying.There is drift,is he moving his animals from the pasture <br /> during these times? <br /> The initial application states there will be no impact on aesthetics.That is a lie.My vista will be greatly impacted.There <br /> will be buildings elevated up for flood control blocking my west views of our gorgeous sunsets.I encourage you to visit <br /> my property and see how close I am to this permit and that my view is unobstructed. <br /> In addition to local land owners,I do not see where the cities of Tracy or Lathrop were notified.PETA was not informed <br /> and is scrambling to get information to me by tomorrow. <br /> This is not a small family farm but a commercial enterprise.Who is to say what happens afterwards should this pass. <br /> Does 20 cows become 50;3,000 chickens become 4,000;50 goats and sheep become 100? <br /> 1 have said it before I will say it again,I am against the slaughter of animals.The slaughter house is unobstructed from <br /> my view.I am sickened by the knowledge of what will daily take place there.As the application states it will be a 7 day <br /> per week operation.This operation does not fit in with the surrounding crops or orchards.Again,I invite you to my <br /> property to view this. <br /> I request that this permit not be granted.At the very least,I request a delay in the hearing so that all surrounding land <br /> owners can be notified and have a chance to voice there concerns. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Diana Alves <br /> Sent from my iPhone <br /> i <br /> Planning Commission Staff Report, PA-1800316(UP) 144 <br /> Response Letters <br />
