Appeal Use Permit Application UP-89-30 September 5, 1989 Page Three 3. Conflict with General Plan Policies. [Continued from Page Two] The City believes the golf course would not significantly diminish the wildlife and vegetative resources of the County. It is true that some valley Oaks (which are not considered endangered) , will need to be removed. However, the majority will remain. The aesthetic attraction of the riverbank will remain as this area will remain untouched. There will be no loss of shoreline vegetation which provides a natural habitat for fish and wildlife. We believe this golf course will blend in with this area, as well as enhance this area. Three lakes will be developed on the golf course which would enhance the populations and habitat of migratory waterfowl. 4. Access to Stanislaus River. We will provide a minimum fifty foot public access easement extending along the entire length of the river frontage. 5. Growth Inducement. Concern was expressed relative to growth as a consequence of extension of services to this area. It is worthwhile to note that this development is merely an expansion of the recreational area currently bounded by Jacob Myers Park. The existence of the park has not induced growth, and there is no reason to believe this expansion would induce growth. While the initial study indicates that the City will be extending services to the project site, sufficient services already exist at the project site. Any extensions at the site will be minor and unlikely to induce growth at a significant level. This statement, combined with the fact that the City cannot annex property within San Joaqin County supports our contention that this project, in and of itself, would not be growth inducing.
