ADDENDOM TO DM1ROXXEnAL APPRAISAL NO. 4736A 9. xaspgnsa to Public Notice: Originally a public notice was issued on lb September 1970 for axisti S wW proposed facilities at Mr. Darrah's property. Due to swisa problems 1nvolvins the floating hoses, approval was not given by the San Joaquin 'Local Health District. All of the houseboats were posted as unfit for human habitation and declared a public nuisance. Mr. Darrah was issued a "CMN and Desist" letter in 1975 when a field inspection determined that additional construction had taken place within the river. It was requested i that a revised applieatios be sabaitted and the existing sanitary problems re"lved with the Sealth District. Public Notice No. 4736A was issued on 28 Navmber 1975. Application was for existing and proposed floating homes with sewage system and existing boating facilities. Application received approval from the San Joaquin Local Health ' Dtstrict p=rovided applicant complies to savage disposal requirements. Appro- *vdls were also received from EPA, Department of Commerce, and San,Joaquin County Plaaaiag Department. Hots the Resources Agency of Califarai:. =d Dapartmart of the Interior objected to construction of nev floating homes. The Interior want a step further by requesting removal of existing houseboats used as residences. Mr. Darrah met with State and Corps' personnel on 28 May 1976 to resolve objec- tions. The. revised application submitted in September 1976 failed to reflect f isld coaditian ind proposed changes. A naw revised application vas not sub- mitted until August 1977. As he still proposed additional floating homes, he was advised by telephone that we could not issue a permit due to State objec- tions. Mr. Farrah agreed to delete the proposed floating homes. In addition, Mr. Darrs'-'s new application proposed four spaces to construct houseboats, which were to be relocated from the area When completed. Due to the char-ges made in the application since our public notice, copies of the drawings and letter prepared bS Mr. Darrah's agent were forwarded to the State and Interior for comments. In response, the Department of the Interior objected to the floating how and I recoemianded that the applicant relocate the structure to an established marina. i As the floating hose at Location "A" has been at Mr. Darrah's property for 12 .years and existed before the Delta Master Recreation Plan was written, we feel that the structure is "graadfatherable". The Interior also recommended that **Vag* iAcilities be instal'ad a, the h,:ucaba.t at Location "C" and in the vicinity of the houseboat construction area. The applicant gill be required to meet these requirasents by the San Joaquin Local health District and he appears to be aareaabla to installing proper sewage facilities. The Resources Agency of California stated they do not object to the floating home at Location "A" since it existed before the Delta Master Recreation Place. The State said that the houseboat at Location "C" would be authorized only if it has been in the Delta prior to February 1973. As the structure is a self-pro- palled reaael, according to Mr. Darrah, we do not exercise jurisdiction over IA regards to the construction of houseboats at Locations M, N, 0, and P, tte
