I've always encouraged <br /> them in where I've lived. However, I don't see this proposal/project being a good fit for this <br /> property. I live within walking distance of the proposed site and I can testify to the eco- <br /> sensitivity to this property. <br /> This property is less than 2000 ft from The Old River which is one of the most unique and eco <br /> sensitive places is the world. Properties in this area routinely have endangered species <br /> traversing and flying overhead. <br /> A nearly extinct salmon run takes place just 100's of feet away. To help protect the eco- <br /> sensitivity of this property and the area, this property should remain at its current zoning of <br /> AG40 and stop infringing on the migration of birds, salmon and fragile delta minnow. <br /> This area currently has no city services and is located on a country road. A mega church of this <br /> size would put a major strain on this very sensitive eco system of the San Joaquin Delta and <br /> create extra traffic which the roads are not designed for. We already have weekly church <br /> events that has cars parking on private property, on the side of the streets with people walking <br /> on roadways amongst cars, trucks and farm traffic. <br />
