In Memoriam

9 / 11

UPDATE January 2004 - On Jan. 12, 2004 the project proponent abandoned both San Martin proposal sites and purchased an alternative site in Morgan Hill.  The new site is very appropriate for this project as it is in an existing industrial area with sewer hook ups. SMNA appreciates the willingness of the owner and his attorney to work with the community and wish them well in the new facility.

UPDATE July 2003 – Applicant chose to let the above application expire and now is looking at another site in San Martin. County Planning sent the following statement to the San Martin Planning Advisory Committee on the July 2, 2003 meeting agenda: “Seafood Distribution Facility (County file #2185-71-32-03PA) Update: LusAmerica has submitted for a pre-application meeting to locate the proposed seafood distribution facility at 13805 Llagas Avenue (APNs: 825-03-001 and 825-04-010). Please note that the file number has changed due to the proposed location change. No further application has been made as of June 17, 2003.”

UPDATE March 2002 - Numerous community residents expressed serious concerns about this land use application. County is requiring a full EIR.  Applicant has not paid the fees – no activity all year -- application was to expire March 2003.  County recently extended due date to May 1st, 2003, due to applicant’s work with RWQCB.
