! ! ! ! ! Re: Hearing April 8 Ratna Ling Zoning! ! Please see that this will make its way to the Board of Supervisors. ! ! I'm not much of a writer; know that my words are what I feel to be right.! !

I live on Seaview Road approximately 12 miles from the Ratna Ling Complex and Odeyon. I will be attending the hearing on April 8th. It surprises and angers me that the rural zoning for this area is not being upheld or honored by the "Bhuddists" at Ratna Ling/Odeyon (or the County). I have a hard time considering them following a Bhuddist way, as they have done harm without thought to the land or the Ridge Community here in which they nd themselves in - expanding beyond their permits, moving an industrial printing facility out of Berkeley up to this rural area, burdening our one lane roads with large truck tra"c, and then informing this Ridge Community that we "should feel honored to have them here as neighbors" (a quote I wrote down from one of their presentations to the members of this Ridge Community several years ago when we took notice of increased activity going on). It seems to me there is something odd going on with Ratna Ling/Odeyon - the County needs to step up and take a look. At the very least, the County should uphold the rural land use zoning. !

! Is anybody listening???! !
