© Provided by KCRA Sacramento Rancho CordovaPaul and Keith Carroll did not spend their last year of retirement as planned.
Paul didn't work with wood last year. Kate didn't use an oil painting studio.
Instead, the Carroll family closes around the clock to do homework on camp development projects planned during roadworks in the Rancho Cordova area.
The warehouse was originally planned to take up about 1.6 million square feet near the community of Stone Creek, and local residents said the projects would result in road erosion, light pollution, and possibly hundreds of overnight truck stops. Wild walks around.
“Every five to six minutes you will see an articulated truck going up and down with zinfandel,” said Paul Carroll.
Their biggest concern is how the large number of trucks associated with camp development will affect air quality.
“I have lung problems and the pollution will prevent me from visiting the area,” said Kate Carroll.
On Monday of this week, the townspeople are unhappy, as they believe that they have won a small victory over a warehouse called "Logistics Center".
Developer Dermody Properties has threatened the city of Rancho Cordova with a costly lawsuit if it fails to honor the land's real estate development agreement.
Thus, based on the advice of internal and external legal experts, the city was forced to reverse its decision at the March meeting to reject the Logistics Center project.
“If a $100 million judgment is issued against the city, it will drastically change the financial position of the city over the next ten or two years,” said Kim Goran Karagorgiu, director of city administrative services. If developers sue you, the city will succeed.
Members of the community expressed dissatisfaction with the age of the city.
"So Dermody says let's build our barns or we'll bankrupt your city," said Paul Carroll.
Carrolls said that now they have only one hope for future events that may unfold around them.
“A developer would rather work with the community than fight against its wishes,” said Kate Carroll.
KCRA 3 asked developer Dermody Properties to address community concerns about waste, traffic, and the size of proposed warehouses, or provide feedback to help people better understand how the proposed projects could turn out.
The company released a statement: "Dermody Properties is pleased with the decision of Rancho Cordova City Council to review the Bear Hollow Drive project and establish a design review committee for the Zinfandel Drive project."
Meanwhile, there was encouraging news for some residents at Monday's meeting.
The Rancho Cordova City Council announced that it has bought over 40 acres of land from the Elliott homes to cut down on upcoming warehouse projects.
The $15 million deal is expected to close in about a month.
Dermody Properties is also involved in another distribution center project in El Dorado Hills that has faced setbacks.
