Street Trees Development Title Section 9-1020.4 states that the planting of trees along streets is required for all new residential developments as follows: • Trees shall be spaced at a maximum of sixty (60) foot intervals or a minimum of three (3) trees for each lot frontage. • For corner lots, street trees shall be required on both street frontages. The trees cannot interfere with sight distances and setbacks. • Trees shall be five (5) gallons in size. • Trees shall be located such that at fifteen (15) years of age, the crown will not encroach across side property lines. • Trees shall be located a minimum of ten (10) feet from driveways, between four (4) and ten (10) feet outside the road right-of-way. • Street trees shall be required along street frontages where noise attenuation walls are required. • Trees shall be chosen from the County Tree List. Archeolo ical/Cultural Resources The Caltrans Environmental Branch identified a significant historical or cultural resource upon the site in a previous application. Upon a visit to the site a concrete wall was left standing with rubble and debris scattered within a 20' foot radius of the wall. A World War II POW Camp may have existed at one time on this parcel. This issue may require additional review if a full application is submitted. Air Qualitv and Hazards Continued use of the Western Farm Facility and the adjacent proposed project could expose residents to possible injury and nuisances from an incident involving chemical spillage, leakage, fire or explosion. Environmental review of a previous application concluded that the Western Farm Facility would have a significant impact on the previous proposed development if the two were located next to each other. Because of the continued use of the Western Farm Services site the proposed residential development will require additional environmental review of this issue and a study will need to be provided indicating the significant impact has been mitigated, if a full application is filed. The applicant has submitted a letter from Western Farm Services dated May 9, 2000 indicating that storage of Anhydrous Ammonia will no longer continue if it hinders the subdivision from being approved. An updated letter will need to be provided should the applicant file a full application. At the time of the Initial Study, impacts of the facility will be reviewed more in-depth. Access The proposed private easement serves fourteen (14) lots on the Tentative Map. Development Title Section 9-1150.15(e) states that a maximum of six (6) lots may be served by a private right-of-way or the private right-of-way shall be improved to San Joaquin County Improvement Standards for public roads. 3
