Ms. Kerry Sullivan April 8, 1992 Page 2 Paoe 3 - 2 Cancellation of the Williamson Act contracts could result in the premature loss of an agriculture resource. C142 As you are aware, the property has never been farmed for row crops. Its agricultural history has been vineyards (65 acres) [which are preserved], cattle grazing, and the dry-farming of sudan grass in the lake bottoms. As I previously stated, the owners wish to remove from the Williamson Act only those portions of the project that require cancellation- colf course, homesites and recreational facilities. Paae3 - 3 Potentially Significant Impacts Project construction truck trips generated by excavation of the site would increase the demand for roadway maintenance Suggested Mitigation Measures Design study in this EIR cannot be considered conclusive in terms of specific roadway X143 reconstruction requirements. It is recommended that the applicant initiate a detailed design study to determine the eventual roadway improvements needed on Davis Road, Ray Road - Kile Road prior to final map approval. I respectfully request that the Public Works Department in San Joaquin County or other appropriate agency explain in the Environmental Impact Report the maintenance requirements that the truck traffic would necessitate. Paoe 3 - 5 Noise The Environmental Impact Reportauggests the applicant choose a haul route that impacts fewer people, such as Forest Lake Road. Traveling down Forest Lake Road to the Davis Road/Peltier Road C144 intersection adds approximately si,< miles to the haul route. In addition,this route requires the trucks to pass twenty-two homes instead of the five homes on the route currently proposed. The trucks would also pass the perimeter of the subdivision at the east side of Forest Lake Road and Lower Sacramento Road and would have to travel under the narrow Southern Pacific railroad bridge on Lower Sacramento Road. Paae 3 - 6 Water Resources The applicant should apply for and obtain an appropriative water right permit for the increased 1145 storage of runoff from Jahant Slough or from diversion of runoff from the Mokelumne River. This will include the completion of any studies, as required by the State Division of Water Rights, including determination of the availability of such water in Jahant Slough and the lower reaches of Mokelumne River for appropriation.
