HISTORY OF PARCEL The owner was interviewed on Monday AM, Mar. 25, 2002 (Monday mornings availability only at site) and stated he has owned the property for 10 years. The Property Detail shows a recording date of 1991. The use has been pasture during his ownership. Oats were planted for one year. He has not applied any chemicals to the pasture. The existing irrigation well, at one time, supplied water to an estimated 30 acres. A domestic well exists to supply water to the residence. The land along Sowles Road in this area is developed into residential, 5 acre parcels minimum. During the past five years, no record of chemical use was recorded by the Agricultural Commissioner's Office in San Joaquin County. The Geological Survey Map(1970-1977) of this area shows the agricultural features for that time frame. It is evident the land was pasture or row crop and not orchard. The soils log for a new well (72-84V) located 1/4 mile north of Peltier Rd. on the west side of Sowles shows l' of top soil,then 16' of sandy clay. A 4'layer of sand exists from I T - 21' below the surface. The residence has been rented out and the owner has lived elsewhere. It appears there has been a gradual accumulation of trash over the years. The owner has removed the renters and has started clean-up operations. The barn appears unsafe from a visual inspection, and the owner is considering demolition rather than repair. The proposed parcels have access from Sowles Road.
