Worries near Gillespie Field
Ponzi - You do not know me or my family, our history, or the circumstances surrounding our decision to move to Fletcher Hills in 1990. Yet you profess to make public statements regarding me. Your comment about "moving next to a chicken ranch" is ludicrous. Let me clarify a few points for your edification. My family and I lived in close proximity to Gillespie Field from May 1980 through November 1990. We were very familiar with the activities of Gillespie Field when we made our decision to purchase a home in Fletcher Hills. At that time, there were flight schools teaching students to fly. The activity was unobtrusive. For the first 15 years in our home (12/90 - 2005) the same was true regarding flights over Fletcher Hills. It was a comfortable coexistence. That all changed when the flight schools specializing in training foreign students started conducting business at Gillespie. Over the years since, the constant flights over our neighborhood has created the issues currently being addressed. You asked if I received a "guarantee" in writing regarding my (our) right to be able to enjoy a degree of peace and quiet in our home or on our property. The answer is yes. CA Civil Code: 3479 - 3486, CA Health & Safety Code: 46000 - 46002, San Diego County Ordinance 9962, and El Cajon City Code 9.40.010 - 9.40.020.— April 24, 2015 1:49 p.m.
