2.2 Proposed Development <br /> A minor subdivision is proposed to divide the Site into two new parcels. No changes in <br /> use of the Site are proposed. <br /> 2.3 Topography <br /> A recent U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic map was obtained from the <br /> San Joaquin County District Viewer. In the map, the Site is depicted as open <br /> agricultural land with one structure near its center. The property is approximately 100 to <br /> 105 feet above mean sea level and is relatively flat, except where it slopes down to <br /> Littlejohns Creek on its southern side. Surrounding properties are shown to be open <br /> agricultural land with scattered rural residences. Farmington is located approximately <br /> one-half mile to the east. This map is included as Plate 3 in Appendix 1. <br /> 3.0 HISTORICAL RESEARCH <br /> 3.1 Aerial Photographs <br /> Live Oak reviewed aerial photographs of the Site provided by the San Joaquin County <br /> Surveyor's Office in Stockton, California. The available photographs were dated 1937, <br /> 1952, 1963, and 1975. Two additional photographs, dated October 1998, and <br /> _ September 2008, were obtained from the San Joaquin County District Viewer. <br /> In the 1937 photo, the Site appears to be open, dry farmed, agricultural land. One or <br /> more structures and several trees are present near the center of the Site. A small, <br /> uncultivated area can be seen along Littlejohns Creek to the southwest of the Site. The <br /> surrounding parcels appear to be agricultural land and orchards. Several rural <br /> residences can be seen to the north of Highway 4 (Farmington Road). <br /> In the 1952 photo, portions of the Site appears to be leveled, irrigated, agricultural land. <br /> Three structures can be clearly seen near the center of the Site because the <br /> surrounding trees have been trimmed. (2- <br /> In <br /> 2In the 1963 photo, the entire Site appears to be leveled, agricultural land. No other <br /> significant changes are apparent. <br /> In the 1975 photo, the entire Site appears to be irrigated. No other significant changes <br /> are apparent. <br /> In the 1998 and 2008 photos, new orchards have been planted on some of the <br /> surrounding parcels. No other significant changes are apparent. <br /> LOGE 1306 Page 2 <br />
