2.2 Proposed Development <br /> It is proposed to split the Site into a five-acre homesite parcel and a 35-acre designated <br /> remainder (Plate 3). Ms. Pendergrass stated that she intends to sell the designated <br /> remainder, the uses of the homesite parcel will remain unchanged. <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 vacant, hilly <br /> land. The property is located at an elevation of approximately 130 to 155 feet above <br /> mean sea level. Surrounding properties are shown to be vacant land; a structure is <br /> depicted to the east. This map is included as Plate 4 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, 1975, and 1983. Two additional photographs, dated October 1998 and <br /> June 2007, were obtained from the San Joaquin County District Viewer. <br /> In the 1937 through 1983 photos, the northwest corner of the Site appears to be <br /> vineyard. A few trees, part of a small orchard for the adjacent residence to the east, are <br /> present near the northeast corner of the Site. The remainder of the Site appears to be <br /> open, dry-farmed or grazing land. High-voltage power lines cross the Site. The <br /> surrounding properties appear to be open agricultural land and vineyard. <br /> In the 1998 photo, the Site appears to be planted with irrigated pasture or row crops. <br /> An object is apparent near the current location of the irrigation well. The adjacent land <br /> to the north is an orchard, and the adjacent land to the south, west, and east is planted <br /> with irrigated pasture or row crops. <br /> In the 2007 photo, the existing residence and field roads can be seen on the Site. The <br /> western side of the Site appears to be open land, while the eastern side appears to be <br /> planted with orchard. The adjacent properties to the west and south appear to be open <br /> land; the adjacent land to the east is planted with orchard. <br /> These photos are included in Appendix 3 of this report. <br /> LOGE 1220 Page 2 <br />
