4.0 HISTORICAL SITE USE Historical use of the subject property and adjacent properties was evaluated as part of the Phase I ESA conducted in December 1993 by SWL. The information presented in this section of the report was obtained from the previous ESA reports. 4.1 CURRENT OWNERSHIP The subject property is currently owned by ProLogis. 4.2 OWNERSHIP RECORD REVIEW A chain of title dating back 1943 was obtained in 1993 by SWL from Kimbrough and Associates of Georgetown, Texas. The title records showed that the owners of the subject property (in chronological order) have included: Tracy Realty Company; Joe, Joaquin, and Frank Salles; Carl and Albert Navarra; Ernest, Alfred, Damon, Ralph, and David Pombo; Heinz and Gisele Carlson; Green Valley Corporation; Baseline Industries; Ernest Bobson; Violet Bobson; Tracy Industrial Partners; and King and Lyons Tracy Industrial. A copy of the chain of title was included in the 1993 Phase I ESA performed by SWL. Although the exact property uses by these owners is unknown, based on name recognition alone, there is no evidence that past owners may have contributed to environmental impairment of the subject property. Therefore, no further investigation relative to previous property owners is warranted. 4.3 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH REVIEW Copies of aerial photos for the years 1985 and 1992 were reviewed by SWL at Pacific Aerial Surveys in Oakland, California. As reported in the previous ESA report, observations of photographs reviewed for the subject property are listed below: • The 1985 photograph showed the subject property to be agricultural land. A residence and barn were present west of the subject property. • The 1992 photograph showed warehouse/distribution buildings to the south and east of the subject property. The subject property remained vacant. In addition, SECOR reviewed a November 1996 Phase I ESA report prepared by SECOR for ProLogis on another portion of the Patterson Pass Business Park, located approximately one- quarter mile northwest of the subject property. The 1996 Phase I ESA report summarized the review of aerial photographs for the subject property vicinity reviewed at the San Joaquin County Surveyor's office for the years 1940, 1952, 1963, 1973, and 1983. As reported in the 1996 Phase I ESA report, observations of these photographs were as follows: • The 1940, 1952, and 1963 photographs showed all properties in the vicinity to be farmland used for row crop production. • The 1973 and 1983 photographs showed properties in the area to be generally in use for row crop production or pastureland. A trucking facility was visible near the intersection of Schulte Road and Patterson Pass Road, approximately one-quarter mile west of the subject property.
