●      MASTER PLAN VIOLATION & SPOT ZONING: Carving a Heavy Industrial (I-2) island into a stable General Agricultural (A-1) area violates the long-term planning stability promised to this rural residential and farming community.

●      PROPERTY DEVALUATION & QUALITY OF LIFE: Operating a commercial rubbish dump directly adjacent to established homes and farms will cause irreversible devaluation of surrounding properties, excessive noise, dust, and windblown debris.
