1. MAJOR SUBDIVISION NO. PA-02-462 OF ROBERT&JUDY SCHEPPMAN AND CRV ENTERPRISES. INC.to subdivide four parcels totaling 32 acres into sixteen 2-acre parcels (Ashton Place No. 2). The project site is located on the northeast and southeast corner of Reid Avenue and Mondy Lane, and on the west side of Reid Avenue, 270 feet south of Mondy Land, southeast of Linden, in the rural community of Peters(Supervisorial District 4). Commissioner Solari said that he wished to pull this item from the consent calendar. Jennifer Jolley, Associate Planner, introduced the staff report into the record. She noted that the handout packet for the evening contained revised conditions from Public Works. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: PROPONENTS: Monte Seibel, representing the owners, said they accept all the Conditions of Approval. Commissioner Solari asked if they have spoken to the school district about participating in the Mello Roos district. Monte Seibel said they have not. There is no Mello Roos district in that area. The project can be mitigated with the building permit. Other projects in this area have not entered into the Mello Roos. OPPONENTS: Ron Estes, Superintendent of the Linden School District, said he understands that school mitigation is outside the Commission's jurisdiction. He talked about the declining quality of life in Linden. Their school grounds are being used as parks. There is a concern about traffic impacts, which also affects agricultural activities in the area. They did not get a response from the applicant about them getting into the Mello Roos district. They collect the school fee only when a home is built, and the developer does not pay any of those fees. He said that$2.14 a square foot is not enough to mitigate for these impacts. REBUTTAL: Monte Seibel said that in regard to traffic, they are rebuilding about a one-half mile section of the road through their subdivision. Also, they are providing a connection road to allow further access. Regarding the impact to Linden, they are outside the Linden area and will not use parks in the town. They are paying park in-lieu fees for future park expansion. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: Commissioner Mond asked if they could continue this item to allow Mr. Seibel to work with the school district to come up with an agreement. Commissioner Solari asked Mike Huggins if he needed more time to look at the outdated septic systems. He asked who enforces the right-to-farm ordinance. What does this ordinance give to the farmers in San Joaquin County? Mike McGrew, County Counsel, said the right-to-farm ordinance and the school mitigation fee are beyond the scope of the Planning Commission. Also, they have to have the consent of the developer to continue this item because the Commission has to act upon subdivisions within a certain period of time. Mike Huggins, Environmental Health, said there are a large number of septic systems in this area. There is a lot of hardpan, and there will be a lot of septic failures because of that.
