! Dear Supervisor Carrillo,! ! ! ! !

Regarding the Ratna Ling/Dharma Press, large-scale industrial printing factory and Application PLP 08-0021; ! I'm not sure why this got through the Permit Department in the rst place. It seems simple as I read through the General Plan/ Coastal Plan/ Zoning Consistency, looking for industrial and commercial uses, that there is nothing like it (the industrial printing operation).! In my reading of the General Plan, it very clearly describes what are allowable uses in my neighborhood. In fact, the General Plan as it pertains to my neighborhood frowns on commercial and industrial uses stating it's detrimental to our area. As your constituent of West Sonoma County I continue to be bafed by the disregard of the General Plan in this manner. Why have a General Plan if we don't follow it?! I respectfully request that you lead the way in safeguarding the General Plan and I urge you to deny the application by Ratna Ling Retreat Center and Dharma Press for Master Use Permit Application PLP 08-0021, which seeks to continue and expand a large-scale, industrial book factory in the coastal hills of western Sonoma County.!

! Please uphold and enforce our zoning protections by denying this application.! ! Sincerely,! !
