September 20,2002 <br /> Job Number: LG02-261 <br /> Page 2 <br /> H. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT <br /> The proposed project is a lot line adjustment involving five (5)parcels. Four(4) parcels <br /> are to be adjusted to two (2) acres in size and the fifth parcel will be 45.63 acres. These lots are <br /> planned for residential use. Each parcel will utilize an individual septic system and water well. <br /> San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health Division indicated in <br /> their letter dated October 16, 2001, that "... proposed parcels 1, 2, 3, and 4 are being created <br /> over a slope area with part of each parcel in an area subject to flooding and consequently <br /> reducing the ability to provide onsite sewage disposal and onsite wells according to the San <br /> Joaquin County Standards." Baumbach & Piazza Engineers, Lodi, California has prepared the <br /> parcel map for the project which shows the proposed lot line adjustments. They have indicated <br /> to our office that the flood elevation for the site ranges between 62.5 and 63.5 feet. The septic <br /> tanks will be located above that elevation. <br /> III. PRESENT AND PAST USE OF THE SITE <br /> An interview with Jack Sievers Jr. was conducted to ascertain the recent site history. Mr. <br /> Sievers indicated that his family has owned property since 1978. Prior to 1978, the site was the <br /> Schmeidt Dairy. The Schmeidt Dairy had operated from the 1940's up to 1978. Since 1978, <br /> row crops, walnuts, and grapes have been planted on the property. Presently, walnuts and grape <br /> vineyard exist on the property. <br /> The site is designated by San Joaquin County Community Development as a general <br /> agriculture zone. This zone was established by the County to preserve agricultural lands for the <br /> continuation of commercial agricultural enterprises. <br /> IV. SURROUNDING USAGE <br /> The site is bounded by the Mokelumne River to the north and west. Orchards and <br /> vineyards exist in all other directions. There are few residences in the area. The septic system <br /> density was counted in a 1 square mile area centered over the site using an aerial photograph <br /> obtained from the United States Geologic Survey(USGS) dated May 22, 1993. The aerial <br /> photograph was available through terraserver at www.terraserver.microsoft.com. The septic <br /> system count indicated 11 homes or building clusters exist within one square mile (radius) <br /> around the center of the site. As of 1993, it was estimated that the septic system density was <br /> approximately I 1 per square mile. <br /> ?acRso <br /> � a <br /> s <br /> i W <br /> �s5 o G♦ <br />
