CAA DILLON & MURPHY E N G I N E E R I N G 847 N. Cluff Avenue, Suite A2 • Lodi, California 95240 P.O. Box 2180 Lodi, California 95241 (209) 334-6613 Fax (209) 334-0723 April 14, 2022 San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department 1868 E. Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Attn: Steven Shih Re: PA-2100201 Dear Steven, I am preparing the Parcel Map associated with PA-2100201 and am reviewing the Conditions of Approval with one of my Jr. Engineer's, Mike Toy. I have a concern with EHD's Condition No. 4. When Mike read the Conditions when they first were published, he read No. 4 in a similar manner as No. 3. That is to say No. 3 required action at time of development (installing a septic system) but No. 4 requires the action (digging a new well) prior to the recordation of the map. He didn't notice the part regarding prior to recordation of the map or I would have brought this up sooner. The Lagorio family has owned this property (and contiguous property) for over 50 years. When the original parcel was created in 2002 (PA-0200074), the intent, was to have both houses on the same parcel because the owner was living in the small house while he was building his new house. Nothing has changed since 2002 except now a "Key Man" employee resides in the smaller house. Parcel 1 and the "Unsurveyed Reminder" parcel will still be owned by the same owner (Lagorio). Again, the Lagorio family is a farming family, and this parcel is an integral part of the family operation. They have no plans either in the short or in the long term to sell the property. The situation is similar to one you and I discussed recently (PA-2200014) where the same owner owned both parcels. We agreed that a Property Owner's Water License Agreement would be allowed which essentially states that once either parcel is sold, a new well will be required prior to close of escrow. It is a recorded, binding document that would show up in any Preliminary Title Report.
