The project will be served with sewer and water by the Lockeford Community Services District. A "will serve" letter dated May 16, 1996 is in the project file. The 'will serve" letter, however is only valid until May 16, 1999. Storm drainage will be provided by a on-site community retention basin, to be publicly maintained and operated by a County Service Area. At the time of writing this Development Committee memo four letter of opposition regarding this project have been received and are attached for informational purposes. The issues raised by the letters of oppositions include traffic, drainage, land use conflicts with existing uses, (including the industrial use across the street and surrounding agricultural uses), consistency with the General Plan, adequate provision for emergency services and biological impacts. The General Plan and the Zoning for the property is Residential Low Density. The minimum lot area requirements for Lockeford are 8,000 square feet. The proposed 88 lots are the same number of lots as previously approved for SU-88-5. The Development Title provides that individual lots may be less than 8,000 square feet provided that the average of the lots in the subdivision meets a minimum area requirements. Conditions of Approval have been developed to address the concerns related to traffic on Locke Road biological, cultural resources and noise. A Condition of Approval has been developed requiring additional archeological investigation which includes additional excavation and/or protection of the site requiring elimination of residential lots within the site boundaries. Based on an earlier Environmental Impact Report a noise wall is required along Locke Road and the western boundary of the subdivision. A Condition of Approval has been developed to require that the bank portion of the lots along the northerly boundary of the subdivision be left in a natural state. Depending on the response received from the Department of Fish and Game, the applicant may be required to prepare a biological survey and provide mitigation measures for both the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beatle and the Swainson's Hawk. Lodi Unified School District submitted a letter addressing school impacts associated with the proposed subdivision development. It is the applicant's responsibility to meet with the School District and address their concerns.
