Item No. 2 PC: 10-1-92 SU-92-14 Page 4 Circulation/Access: The subject parcel has frontage on both Jahant Road and Bruella Road via flag strips; however, only the flag to Jahant Road will be used to provide access to a public road. The flag to Bruella Road is too narrow to provide adequate access and has been determined by the Department of Public Works not to be needed for secondary access. The applicant's engineer has submitted a Circulation Plan (attached) for the area for review by the Department of Public Works. Based upon the results of its analysis, Public Works has indicated that the project's provisions for access are compatible with the area's future circulation needs. The internal subdivision street will be required to be improved to the County's standards for a 50-foot-wide right-of-way rural residential road. Neighborhood Opposition: Three letters in opposition to the proposed subdivision (see Attachment A)were received by staff during the application's referral period. These letters state the writers' concerns in the following areas: opposition to residential development in the area; adverse impacts on the area's water table; impacts on schools, fire, and police services; the subdivision's effect on wildlife; and the increased potential for flooding. In response to these concerns, staff notes that the area has been designated for five-acre development on the 2010 General Plan and that the proposal is consistent with applicable General Plan Objectives and Policies, as well as with requirements of the Development Title. There has been no evidence submitted which confirms that the project will have an adverse effect on the area's water table. The impacts on the noted services are expected to be only incremental, given the small number of lots involved in this project. The Initial Study prepared for the project concluded that there would be no significant, adverse impacts on plant or wildlife species as a result of this project The project site is not in the 100-Year Flood Zone, and the developer will be required to show on the Improvement Plan for the subdivision, prior to approval of the Final Map, "iat the subdivision will not increase the amount of runoff entering the drainage swale on the site. FACILITES/SERVICES: Water Supply, Sewage Disposal. and Storm Drainage: On-site services will be provided for the subdivision's seven lots as follows: individual domestic water wells and sewage disposal systems under permit and inspection by the Environmental Health Division, and-storm drainage by either individual retention ponds or by a terminal drainage system. The latter will requireAhat runoff from the project to the site's existing drainage swale be metered so as not to exceed predevelopment levels. The San Joaquin Farts Bureau Federation responded to the application referral (Attachment A) by recommending that the project be denied based upon the County's lack of an adequate disposal facility for the waste from septic systems. Staff from the Environmental Health Division of Public Health Services have indicated that waste from individual septic systems are currently being accepted and disposed of by the County's municipal waste treatment facilities. The septic wastes from this subdivision would be handled by the City of Lodi's municipal waste treatment facilities.
