F PC : 3-17-88 ER-88-1/GP-87-16/ ZR-87-35/SU-87-23 area, there is the potential for land use conflicts. The pro- posed residential uses are not compatible with many agri- cultural practices, including aerial spraying, noise, and dust . The EIR suggests mitigation measures to reduce this conflict but concludes that land use conflicts will arise as a result of farming activities adjoining residential areas. In addition to the loss of agricultural lands , and the poten- tial for land use conflicts between incompatible land uses , there is also the potential for trespass onto adjoining agri- cultural properties. A condition of approval for the Major Subdivision has been developed that addresses this issue . FACILITIES SERVICES : Water , Sewers and .Storm Draina e Facilities: The Major Subdivision was filed pursuant to Section 9-10002 ( c) ( 1) of the Planning Title . This section allowed Rural Residential tentative subdivision maps filed prior to May 28 , 1987 , to be considered under development standards in ' effect prior to that date. On that date , the Board of Supervisors adopted the County Development Ordinance, which required (among other items) that Rural Residential parcels less than two acres be served by a community 'water system and a community drainage system. As proposed, the Morada Meadows subdivision would be served by individual wells, individual septic systems, and on-site drainage ponds . However , the code provision cited above is permissive, and actual service requirements depend on site-specific conditions. In the case of Morada Meadows, the recommended conditions of approval call for a community water system and a terminal drainage system. The Department of Public Works and the Local Health District recommend that a public water system be constructed. The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for this project noted that the proposed use of on-site sewage disposal , in con- junction with individual water wells , presents a potential risk of water degradation from nitrates and fecal coliform. This potential problem can be better monitored and controlled with a public water system. In addition, due to the number of septic tanks' being proposed and installed in this area, the. residents can be better served with a public water system. The Department of Public Works recommends that a terminal drainage system be constructed. The EIR has noted that the utilization of on-site retention ponds to accommodate storm -11-
