a A NOTE FROM CH.-_.JCE g MARGM WON& 4152 RIVIERA PRM ;90 STOCKTON, CA 95204 P14ONS (209) 465-671$ MARCH 7, 2007 KERRY SULLIVAN, DIRECTOR SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RE: HACKETT 10 LOT SUBDIVISION PLANNING APPLICATION 07000656' WE HAVE LIVED IN THE RIVIERA CLIFFS SUBDIVISION FOR 34 YEARS. OUR HOME IS LOCATED AT 4152 RIVIERA DRIVE, ON THE MAIN CHANNEL, 200 FEET FROM THE SITE OF THIS APPLICATION. WE BOUGHT OUR HOME IN THIS AREA BECAUSE THE LOTS ARE LARGE AND THE AREA IS QUIET. THE ARE ONLY 110 ORIGINAL LOTS. THIS IS THE NICEST AREA IN STOCKTON IN WHICH TO LIVE. WE OBJECT TO THE HACKETT PROPOSAL FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: IF WE ALL START TO SUBDIVIDE LIKE THE HACKETT PROPOSAL IT WILL ABSOLUTELY RUIN OUR AREA. IF WE ALL SUBDIVIDED OUR LOTS, THE SIZE OF THE SUBDIVISION WILL EASILY DOUBLE OR WILL GO FROM 110 LOTS TO 220 LOTS OR MORE. THE CHARACTER OF THE SUBDIVISION WILL BE RUINED. THE INFRASTRUCTURE, SEWER, WATER, DRAINAGE AND STREETS WILL NOT SUPPORT THAT NUMBER OF LOTS. THE CITY WHICH TREATS OUR SEWAGE, PROBABLY WOULD NOT APPROVE THE ADDITION SEWER CONNECTIONS. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY IN AND OUT OF THE SUBDIVISION ON A NARROW, WINDING LEVEE ROAD. IT IS NOT A SAFE SITUATION IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY AND THE ROADWAY GETS BLOCKED. ANY ADDITIONAL LOTS WILL ADD TO THE PROBLEM. THE PROJECT SITE IS LOCATED AT A VERY BAD, BLIND INTERSECTION. TO ALLOW 8 ADDITIONAL LOTS TO ENTER AND EXIT AT THIS INTERSECTION WOULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS THING TO DO. THAT WOULD BE 80 ADDITIONAL TRIPS PER DAY. THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION IS POORLY DESIGNED. A PRIVATE ROAD SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED. THE ROAD SHOULD BE 25 FEET IN WIDTH. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND SHERIFF DEPARTMENTS WON'T LIKE THIS DESIGN. THE SHERIFF WANTS TO BE ABLE TO SEE ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK OF A CUL DE SAC WITHOUT DRIVING ONTO THE STREET. THEY DON'T LIKE DOG LEG CUL DE SAC'S.
