Item No. 2 PC: 6-4-92 MS-92-78 Page 3 STAFF ANALYSIS BACKGROUND: The 28.86-acre parcel is owned by Edward Marugliano, who resides on the property directly to the east. He is applying for the family member homesite parcel for his daughter and son-in-law, Frank and Carol Reyes. Mr. Marugliano leases approximately 72 acres of agricultural property to the Reyes, including the 28.86-acre parcel in this application. According to the Reyes' accountant, the Reyes earn a substantial portion of their income from farming sources, which include the walnut and cherry crops and income from their walnut huller. The 28 acres is under Williamson Act Contract, which requires a minimum of 10 acres for family-member homesite parcels and a Joint Management Agreement to link the original parcel and the family-member homesite parcel. In his response to the application referral, Mr. John Eilers stated that he opposes this proposed division of land. Mr. Eilers believes this subdivision violates the provisions of the Williamson Act Contract (see attached letter). He indicated in his letter that he would support the construction of a home on this property if the property was removed from the Williamson Act Contract or if the owners built a home without subdividing. Because of this opposition, the Minor Subdivision application is being referred to the Planning Commission. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: Ordinance: There are six requirements to Section 9-4010.2(b) that must be met. 1. The homesite parcel must contain a minimum of 11/2 acres. • The proposal is for a 10-acre homesite. 2. The original parcel must be at least 20 acres. • The original parcel is 28.86 acres. 3. The purpose of the subdivision is to finance a residence for the family member. • The applicant has stated that he is going to finance a residence for Frank and Carol Reyes.
