CoyleRood - Type III Land l)se Application: lvlLA h}-OOhOZ 1?Y'-'
Testimony opposed to application from:
Steve Dote (ooodote@gmoil.com)
V{SP
1. My nome is Steve Dote ond om locoted at 70? Kens Woy
which is 2500' downhill from the proposed industry os the
crow flies or os f view it os the noise ond odors drift.
2. This a?eo is o guiet, tranguil get owoy from the noise and
bustle of the developed areas such os Port Townsend. The
property purchosed by the Williomsons borders up ogoinst
the DNR property where folks come to hunt ond recreote, in
other words to get owoy from the developed oreos. This is
on oreo where, of night,you con hear dogs bork ocross the
boy or on owl hoot up on the Coyle Rd.
3. This is on oreo rich in wildlife thot could be sensitive to noise
ond stronge odors. There o?e Eogles, Beors, Coyotes,
Bobcots,Dee?, Cougors, Owls, Bots ond lots of other
creotures thot live ond trovel olong Kens Woy.
4.T. om here to try ond impress on you the consequences of
whot you ore deciding, on o "f o?ever" bqsis to the oreo we coll
home.
5. If you opprove the introduction of "industry" into our frogile
hobitat you will set the precedence f or other greedy
businesses to follow. The Williomson's plon is to sove money in
their business by buying cheop lond,ond relocoting their'n*yru: *Y'-eS
?C
business from on industriol pork just outside Port Townsend
where it exists todoy.
6. This is obviously not o move to stort o "Cottoge fndustry" ot
on existing home, this is o blotont relocotion of on existing
business from o business zoned oreo in on industriol pork to
on oreo with little enf orcement ond well outside the
crosshairs of most reguloting bodies.
7. There is of leost o 3O-minute deloy for ony Fire Protection,
longer for ony Police deportment ond no one to comploin to if
ond when there qre any odor, noise or criminol octivity
comploints.
8. f firmly believe thot the introduction of "cosh only"
morijuono growing in our oreo con ond will ottroct criminol
octivity. I om not ogoinst the growing of o legal substonce
however I am ogoinst locoting those elements in o
neighborhood for awoy from ony government scrutiny.
9. As o side note when the Williomsons we?e storting to cleor
the lond, f stopped by to welcome them to the neighborhood
ond inguire whot their plon wos. The fother replied thot "he
wos going to build o smoll cottoge for his son". f remorked
thot f thought thot wos o gre-at thrng tq dp....., I found out
loter this wos o lie of omislion .ffi';lrfi;'irbuy time with the
neighbors. Ever since this hoppened, I,Eg?jrus-t this fomily
on ANYTHIN6 they soy. -\- -.'I
10. Thonk you for your ottention to my concerns ond pleose
try to ponder what it would be like for your fomily to be
ploced in our situotion.
