Action petitioned for because of the very large number of Pasco residents and stakeholders located in the North East Pasco County area who wish to attend the hearing. We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge you to move or continue the hearing to the next regularly scheduled meeting at the Historic Courthouse in Dade City.

Our rural neighborhood, a designated rural enclave in the county, would be broken by the annexation and rezoning of one of the parcels, to allow what is called "Mixed Use" development. Mixed Use would allow the building of up to 25 homes per acre, commercial retail, and as the current concept plan presented, a 4 lane connector onto our single lane improved dirt road as the main access to the nearest main road. This connector would have the potential of adding an additional 2000 vehicles at the main drive times, from the 6 neighborhoods it would service. Because of this, we the residents of Star Line Estates and outside supporters do not agree with the annexation and future land use and zoning change requested by Center Lake Properties. 5150 Star Line Dr (Legal Description- Starline Estates Unit 2 PB 2 Pg 220 Lot 19) is located in an Osceola County rural enclave called Starline Estates with a current zoning of agricultural/conservation. The request to annex this one lot into the city and change the future land use and zoning to mixed use is not compatible with the surrounding properties or to the neighborhood. An annexation of lot 19 into the City would ruin the character of the rural enclave. All lots, including lot 19, within Star Line Estates, are subject to Deed restrictions recorded in Osceola County records book 448 page 567. The requested annexation followed by a change to the zoning and future land use is NOT compatible with these restrictions. The use of lot 19 by any means other than what is specified in the deed restrictions would be detrimental to our quiet rural way of life.

Our country's multi-billion dollar food industry is allowing that our produce is used by destructive oil companies like Chevron as a disposal site for their oil wastewater. Water samples have determined that the wastewater contains toxic chemicals, some that are linked to cancer and reproductive harm. Known for nationally sold brands like POM Wonderful, Wonderful Pistachios, and Halos mandarins, Wonderful has the political influence to stop this!

The Bangerter family farm in Farmington, which provides fresh and local produce throughout northern Utah, is in jeopardy of being lost, in order for Farmington City to relocate soccer fields that are being paved over to put in a new highway. There are many other locations where soccer fields can be put, other than a producing farm. Farmington City should look elsewhere. Farmington City should also support the Bangerter family's petition to protect the farm under the Utah Agriculture Protection Act.

We are appealing SDCI's decision to grant the noise variance requested by WSDOT for the Alaskan Way Viaduct demolition. We have until 29 March 2018 to file our appeal. We ask that the noise variance is rescinded and ask the City to consider other options than working through the night. We also ask that any future noise variance application contain all the details of what will be done to mitigate the noise and not refer to a framework of possible actions. Additionally, there should be real-time public access to noise monitoring and transparency with respect to complaints with a review board consisting of representatives from the community affected.

We live in a rural area that has about 1300 families. A 7500 to 10,000 hog CAFO May soon be building their CAFO 2 miles from our and other families Homes. These facilities must be stopped from multiplying to other rural areas and states. They also can spread diseases to humans.

Who lives in the Dade City/San Ann Area because they one day dreamed a Solar Plant would be in their backyard? No one! This is our town, our background a tranquil place where we want to settle. People build dream houses here and families, not a giant Solar Plant that requires a special exemption permit from TECO to change the zoning from 'Agricultural'. 350 acres of beautiful agricultural land will be destroyed and the natural habitat for many of the state's wildlife will be destroyed. Stop this project that is empowering big business over the people.

The Sierra Club sent me a renewal request, enclosing a plastic card and card-surround that is neither recyclable nor biodegradable. This organization should be setting an example of the minimal use of petroleum-based material.

We all have loyalty to keep our Earth healthy, we owe it to marine life, to the people living in places now being majorly inpacted by plastic pollution.

Dear Commissioner Edward Drusina, Over the last 30 years, there has been an ongoing environmental crisis on the border of San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. Millions of gallons of sewage consistently spill into the ocean and remain unchecked by both United States and Mexican authorities. The problem reached its peak a year ago, when in February 2017 an estimated 28-256 million gallons of raw sewage spilled from the Tijuana River into the Pacific Ocean, as stated in the International Boundary and Water Commission reports. The constant threat of spills is affecting the Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, Coronado and San Diego beach communities. Southern California relies on its beaches as an economic driver and having beaches closed hundreds of days out of the year has a negative impact on the entire region. For those who decide to venture into the polluted ocean, they are constantly plagued by ear, skin and respiratory infections. Not only do the sewage spills affect our beaches and tourist attractions, but they also put out national security at risk. Due to the Tijuana River’s closeness to the United States/Mexico Border, United States Border Patrol agents are impacted while on duty. Agents’ health is at risk, and day after day they are coming down with unknown skin and respiratory infections caused by their proximity and exposure to these spills. According to Christopher Harris, a union representative for National Border Patrol Council’s Local 1613, at least 83 agents reported sewage-related illnesses. We urge you to honor your role stated Article 3 of the Treaty of February 3, 1944, which enables the International Boundary and Water Commission “to give preferential attention to the solution of all border sanitation problems.” The constant runoff of raw sewage from the Tijuana River into San Diego would qualify as a border sanitation problem, and it is up to you to address this and hold your Mexican counterpart, Roberto Fernando Salmón Castelo, director general of the Comisión Internacional de Límites y Aguas, accountable. The current inaction on the part of the International Boundary and Water Commission is unacceptable. The entire Southern California region is suffering because of this environmental and health crisis. Honor your word. Enforce Article 3.

The current situation of litter on South Carolina’s streets and highways is not only unsightly, it’s unhealthy. It degrades our wonderful state to live the “backwards” stereotype of the Deep South.

The Trump administration announced that it would reverse the rule that requires all organic egg farmers to give hens access to the outdoors. The net result of this is that birds will be confined in horrifying indoor sheds where trampling, disease, and even cannibalism run rampant --and the industry will be free to market their products as organic with "outdoor access."  We're asking the Trump administration to reverse this decision and support tree freedom for birds: an animal bill of rights!
