ri . . 1 • ,zt 092 Aside from the major complaintsalready mentic.:.:ed, we feel we can look forward in the near future to other v#,Y inconveniences. Chandler's expanded operations and • -,,-i activities would no longer classify as a light industry. We are not protesting against the expansion of a corner drug store or some other small commercial establishment . The con1,-tant roar of the concrete trucks and other heavy machinery 114. wakes us almost every weekday. The general noise level and traffic congestion surrounding Chandler Concrete Company is se, already anything but residential . What else do we have to A .7'. Ns look forward to when this operation expands even more? If any '--- member of the Planning Department or one of the County - :14 Commissioners was a residential neighbor of Chandlery we do0bt ,,- that this rezoning would be likely. W. Specifically, as regards the property Chandler wishes rezoned, we think we have a lair indication of the company',= concern for the well —being and property values of this ^15 neighborhood. Even before any rezoning had been brought up , P the land was stripped of all vegetation and a large pit dug to store environmentally unsafe waste . So this property, which 'A. . is still zoned residential , has been deliberately used as an i industrial waste disposal site . -This action seems highly irregular and perhaps illegal . • t think the public has a right to know who in the Planning DepartMent allowed such de facto rezoning to occur .;.. . BEFORE a public hearing could take place . If this is standard practice , why have a public hearing at all ? Part of the responsibility of the Planning Department is to PLAN , il development for all the citizens of Orange County and not just to cater to a local industry. For these reasons, we would like to ask that the Orange County Planning Department deny the request Of Chandler ,I. Concrete Company. Property values will be lowered; hazardous wastes will be generated; and the neighbors will have to endure the inconveniences listed above if Chandler is allowed ',. . to expand its operations onto residential land. Since we will be unable to attend the public hearing in person , we would appreciate it if the Planning Department would make copies of this letter available to those who do attend. 6.. 4 Sincerely) , - ) if I) ' -- ' /9-,,,^411-114 -1.7,-1-1••-•ALai - • ...- r: pa,,, ..a..63 Go.
