November 6, 2008 Page 3 3. Utility Capacity. Stockpot uses a considerable amount of water in its industrial processes. Stockpot has expected that the City's water supply and sewer systems will continue to have sufficient capacity to meet its needs without substantial additional capital improvements. The environmental checklist and other documents supporting the MDNS made available to Stockpot do not address whether or not the development allowed by the Comprehensive Plan map amendments and rezone will significantly and adversely affect the City's ability to continue to provide water supply and sewerage services to the StockPot Culinary Campus. They also fail to address whether or not the City will require additional taxes, assessments or a rate increase in order to improve its infrastructure to continue to provide these services to Stockpot. If as a result of the Comprehensive flan map amendment and rezone, the City is not able to maintain its water supply and sewerage services to StockPot without capital improvements to be paid for with additional taxes, assessment or increased rates to Stockpot, then this also is a "probable, significant, adverse" impact of the proposal. StockPot respectfully requests that the City require the applicant to mitigate this impact by having the applicant agree to pay for any such necessary capital improvements to the water supply or sewerage system. I would like to provide a final comrnent about notice. Stockpot does not believe it received any meaningful notice about this proposal before it received the MDNS Notice on October 23, 2008. Consequently, Stockpot has had to scramble to learn as much as it could about the proposal and its potential impact to the Stockpot Culinary Campus so that it could submit meaningful comments by the November 6, 2008 deadline. StockPot wishes that the City had contacted it directly earlier so that it could have engaged in a productive conversation about the proposal, its potential impacts on StockPot and reasonable mitigation opportunities. StockPot welcomes the opportunity to have such conversations in the future as the regulatory process goes forward. In any case, please send notice of all future actions related to this proposal, and all other public notices and communication regarding this proposal to the following three people: Robert Zane Vice President, Real Estate Operations Campbell Soup Company Campbell Place Camden, New Jersey 08103-1799 2.
