property ownerships which are included within the project site. Table 1 lists the assessor parcel numbers, property owner and mailing address of each of the property owners within the project site. Cose & Associates is the owner of eight parcels totalling about 435 acres which represents 36.5 percent of the project site. Current Uses and Site Features Figure 4 indicates the current uses of the project site. Figure 5 is a recent aerial which shows the site's use patterns. The subject parcels have been used primarily for agricultural purposes for at least the last fifty years. Currently the land is primarily planted in almond orchards and irrigated row crops. Recently apricot orchards have been removed and these parcels are barren at present. Three permanent dwellings and one mobile home exist on the project site. The following residences are outside the project boundary but adjacent to the project site: • 15 ranchette dwellings on one to one and one-half acre parcels grouped in four locations along Koster Road. • 3 ranchette dwellings on one to two acre parcels fronting on Bevis Road and 2 farmsteads (farm house with yout buildings) near Bevis Road. • 2 ranchette parcels on one and one-quarter acre lots fronting on Vernalis Road. Access Immediate access to the project site is provided from Koster Road, Durham Ferry Road, Vernalis Road and Bevis Road which border the project site. The intersection of State Route 132 and Koster Road provides highway access to these bordering County roads from the south while the interchange of Interstate Route 5 and State Route 33 provides general highway access from the north. As Figure 2 indicates, Interstate Route 5 freeway and State Route 132 serve the project site area, and provide good regional connections to other freeways (I-580 and I-205) and County roads. Two irrigation ditches traverse the project site in a general northwest-southeast direction in the lower half of the project site. The Southern Pacific Railroad tracks border the site at the northeast corner. The land is essentially flat and drains toward the northeast.
