are for safety, and Im willing to pave our driveway. Now this isthe first time anybody ever asked me to pave, up to, from the highway up to it for safety purposes. I dont want to talk too long and I lose track of time,but thats basically where Im coming from. Were doing our best to work with the neighbors, weve triedto call and talk. We did have a good talk, but it ended; and now here we are. I also, one more thing, I had two items. One was safety in the roads. The second was commerce in the Park. We were fortunate to be probably the first commercial-approved unit for the Park. We now get five phone calls a day with a full building and nobody knows where to go. Call any self storage place in town, theyre all full. Thats why we wanted to expand. Its very hard to turn down people. I was definitely trying to do the best of all this on the Board to get industry into the Park forthePark,samepurposethatGarySafariktalkedaboutthismorning.Idontlike driving 20 miles to get a sack of groceries, and thats what has to happen, or gas tank, or whatever. So Im still for that. And, I mean, yes, I can understand people do not want growth. In talking to Mr. Schneider, he also mentioned, the gentleman who sent two letters to our, to you folks against the thing, and that was the lot in between us, he had that lot on the market. At the time he wrote those letters he stated that he was going to be living on it and this was an inconvenience to him; and learning from Mr. Schneider, he sold it for $50,000, which is many more times than he paid for it. And the argument of losing property values because were here, thats the lot next door to us. So, I guess Ill shut up. Thank you. SPRINGER:Mr. Vurich, and also for the Commissioners, what our focus now is Mr. Schneiders Request for Standing, not the merit of the application or any of the particulars of it. So if we can return our focus to Mr. Schneiders Petition for Standing in the Contested Case Hearing. Are those your comments? VURICH:My comments are its not adversely affecting his property value. Weve been there 4-1/2 years, we never had a complaint. I dont know how to say it. Hes saying, were also right across from the industrial park, as youre well aware. It has been zoned. At the time of our first permit, there was nowhere to go in the entire Park; and we chose a lot across from the industrial park on purpose to be a buffer because we dont make noise, we dont have barking dogs -. SPRINGER:Mr. Vurich, again, if we can focus our comments on the Petition for Standing rather than your circumstances. VURICH:Okay. Yeah. My primary one was his comment that its affecting his property values, and Im saying I disagree. SPRINGER:Thank you, sir. Commissioners -. ALAMEDA:I have a question. 12
