This will be a factory and should be zoned as such.

I live at 4378 Senseny Road. This factory will be the view from my front porch. Would you want it to be yours? Don't allow this industrial operation! It will absolutely ruin the country life we are desperately trying to preserve. NO LETTUCE FACTORY !

I stand behind Mr. Duncan - NO Lettuce Factory. I have my reservations about if this is really a Lettuce Factory - With recent developments I would wonder if this is not a Marijuana greenhouse? anyway NO LETTUCE FACTORY !!!

I do not believe hydroponics are a sustainable method of farming, nor do I believe they are a viable substitute for organics.

Say no to the factory! It will spoil the beauty of this residential area, and what about the water, drainage and truck traffic? Just say NO.

Water and drainage concerns. Other than the lights of course.

This is an excessive and unreasonable use, burden and hazard for this location in our county. Say no to giant agrifactories in community locations.

Just read George Ohrstrom II's letter published recently in the Winchester Star. He's absolutely correct re: state level regulations and limits on county level efforts to protect our landscape. Thank you Richmond reps for encouraging the construction of "large, unusual or intensive ag operations" such as the two or possibly three butt ugly 10 acre well water-sucking lettuce factories in the middle of Clarke County's farming community.

We are in direct view of the lights and to close for comfort on the water and noise from generators.

Ground water is a precious resource, and this monstrosity would evidently put that resource at risk for all of us in the vicinity. Will they reimburse for newer, deeper wells for all those affected? I doubt it. In addition, the light pollution would likely dramatically alter the night sky, due to refracted light.

Light pollution is a problem for migrating birds... we don't need to farm food 24 hours a day. Grow lettuce in the ground.

An absolute no i from this 37 year Clarke County resident. Elected officials who vote in favor will lose my support.

Wrong location to industrialize Clarke County. There is an industrial zone for that kind of thing.
