CIZ OF STOCKTON CA I DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WOPKS CITY HALL 4�D,�N. EL O"7HAC�O STREET STOCKTON. CA 95202-1997 May 23, 2001 Leanne Mueller San Joaquin County Community Development Development Services Division 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 VARIANCE APPLICATION TO VARY THE REQUIRED 30' FRONTAGE YARD SET BACK FROM THE ULTIMATE RIGHT OF WAY LINE,TO A DISTANCE OF 20' FROM THE CURRENT RIGHT OF WAY LINE 6119 S. WOLFE ROAD (APN 166-020-011 (VR-01-1) The City of Stockton Community Development and Public Works Departments have reviewed the subject application. The City recommends that the Variance application be denied, based upon the inability to make required findings regarding unique physical characteristics or circumstances of the site. Installation of a six-foot high masonry wall is inconsistent with the Agriculture designation on the City's General Plan Land Use/Circulation Diagram, as well as with the current agricultural use of the property. A wall of the type proposed is consistent with urban (e.g. residential) development, rather than the agricultural use of land. if it is the applicant's intent to protect the subject property from urban encroachment, then the County's Right to Farm Ordinance would appear to be a more appropriate mechanism towards that end. Should the San Joaquin County approve the subject variance, it is strongly recommended the following is included as a condition of approval: 1. The owner/developer shall enter into an agreement whereby upon future development of the subject property, the interim masonry wall shall be removed at the owner's expense. Further, any reinstallation of said wall shall be done at the owner's expense, and shall be installed in the standard location (30'frontage yard setback from ultimate right of way). 2. The San Joaquin County shall ensure the interim wall installation does not impede stopping sight distance. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this application. JOHN CARLSON JAMES B.
