t <br /> July 3, 1996 <br /> 1996 <br /> Chandler Mar-tin <br /> S. J. County Community Development Department �: �r <br /> Development Services Division ' <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Ave. <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> Dear Chandler Martin, <br /> In response to the subdivision application #MS-96-12, at <br /> 22800 N. Sowles Rd. Acampo, CA, for Ryan Voorhees, I would <br /> like to address the issue of water run off for flood control, <br /> specifically, Gill Creek. This creek serves as the flood <br /> control for several homes on Bendorf, and N. Tretheway Rd. <br /> From Tretheway Rd. it flows west, making several ninety <br /> degree turns, before reaching and running south along Sowles <br /> Rd. My concern is that it appears this proposed subdivision <br /> could divert or obstruct this necessary water flow, with a <br /> negative impact on the above mentioned homes. On 6-22-96 I <br /> paid a visit to S. J. Public Works Flood Control Division, <br /> with the help of the engineer and several maps, I was able to <br /> get a reasonable idea of how this proposed land split lies in <br /> relation to Gill Creek. At best it appears that Gill Creek <br /> runs beside parcel #37 on the east and southern borders, or <br /> may possibly run through the parcel. It would be reasonable <br /> to expect there to be some land movement with new home <br /> construction, such changes Could adversely affect these <br /> already low lying homes. I also take exception to the note <br /> of "No history of flooding" , noted on the Tentative parcel <br /> Map, because I' ve seen that section of Sowles Rd. in the <br /> winter. <br /> My recommendations at this time would be for the county to <br /> provide a map, to scale, showing not only the new parcels, <br /> but Gill Creek along with the homes dependent on it. Also it <br /> might be interesting to see a record of how often the county <br /> provides "Flooded" signs for this section of Sowles Rd. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Charlene Edgar <br /> 22891 N. Tretheway Rd. <br /> =+campo, CA 95220 <br />
