2.2 Proposed Development A minor subdivision is proposed to divide the Site into two new parcels, approximately five and three acres in size (Plate 3). Mr. Mathfallu indicated that he plans to build a new house and plant orchard on the rear parcel. 2.3_ Topography A recent U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic map was obtained from the San Joaquin County District Viewer. In the map, the Site is depicted as vineyard located at approximately 55 feet above mean sea level. One structure is indicated at the northeast corner of the Site. A driveway is depicted leading from Winery Road, along the western property line of the Site, to a building cluster to the southwest. Surrounding properties are shown to be vineyard, orchard, and vacant land. Industrial Waste Ponds are depicted one-quarter mile to the west of the Site.

The available photographs were dated 1940, 1952, 1963, and 1975.

A structure can be seen on the parcel excluded from the southeast corner of the Site.
