YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES, SIR. >> I'M CLIFTON LEWIS. I AM ON THE HOA BOARD FOR LOST CREEK AND I LIVE ON MISSION BLUFF AND THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS GOING TO IMPACT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT'S GOING TO IMPACT A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS THAT LIVE ON THAT STREET. FOR THAT REASON, I AM OPPOSED TO THIS PROJECT.
I UNDERSTAND IT'S A REBAR FACILITY. FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, WE LIVE IN A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS GOING TO BRING IN NORTH, WHICH WE OPPOSE. AIR POLLUTION FROM SEMI TRUCKS AND LARGE TRACTORS .
[00:15:06]
WE SUSPECT THERE WILL BE GROUND POLLUTION FROM SCRAP METAL.IT'S GOING TO IMPACT THE WILDLIFE BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF WILDLIFE IN THAT AREA. THERE'S SOME RACCOONS, POSSOMS, FOXES, COYOTES, AND SO FORTH. IT COULD BRING IN ADDITIONAL CRIME.
THE AREA IS ALREADY CONGESTED ON RALPH FAIR ROAD AND WE'RE BRINGING IN ADDITIONAL VEHICLES AND TRUCKS. SO THAT'S JUST GOING TO MAKE IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT FOR RESIDENTS TO LIVE THERE. IF THIS PROJECT HAPPENS TO GO FORWARD, WHICH I HOPE IT DOES NOT, WE ARE GOING TO INSIST THAT THERE IS NOISE REDUCTION, A NOISE REDUCTION WALL, AND PREVENT RUNOFF AND POLLUTION OF THE AIR AND SO
FORTH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> MAYOR JONES: ITEM 18 IS IN DISTRICT 8. COUNCILMEMBER MEZA GONZALEZ IS RECOGNIZED.
