Item No. 2 PC: 4-9-92 GP-89-11 Page 12 can be accomplished at the Public Facilities and Services Plan stage. Storm Drainage: An extensive storm water runoff drainage system would have to be built to serve the project site. This runoff would ultimately be discharged to Old River. Although it is difficult to quantitatively or qualitatively project the impact of pollutants in urban runoff from the project site on the water quality in Old River, the storm water drainage system should be designed and built with consideration for potential future storm water regulations. This would include meeting the criteria for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Permit(NPDEP). As the project develops,the proponents should also comply with EPA requirements regarding a pollution prevention plan to minimize construction discharge and sedimentation. PROPOSED PUBLIC SERVICES: Parks and Recreation: A network of open space and parks is proposed by the proponents. The land use diagram shows 12 neighborhood parks, a large community park which follows the Mountain House Creek corridor, and a regional park which parallels Old River. In addition to parks, the project also includes two golf courses, a marina, 40 acres in wetland, and significant landscape buffer areas. The total acreage devoted to open space amenities is currently estimated at 815 acres. Inadequate acreage is provided on the site to meet regional park requirements, but currently there is no mechanism to require payment of fees to provide for in-lieu parkland. The proponent may ask that the provision of public golf courses within the project boundaries would, in fact, meet the intent of providing regional park amenities. In the short term, the project would increase the demand on local park and recreation services until the project-sponsored services could be provided. Schools: At the request of the Lammersville Elementary School District, all of the school sites designated within the new town are K-8 schools; there are no separate elementary and middle schools. A total of 12 K-8 school sites are shown, each averaging 15 acres, and each located adjacent to a neighborhood park. Each K-8 school would accommodate approximately 750 students and would run on a year-round schedule. If the classes do not operate year round, then 14 elementary schools may be needed. Two high school sites are shown at approximately 40 acres each. These two schools would serve a total of 4,801 students at full build-out. These high schools would become part of the Tracy Joint Union High School District. The first phase of development should include the northern high school site and approximately three K-8 schools. However, the project would increase the demand on local school services until the project- sponsored services could be provided. In order to fund these schools, receipt of the normal school development fees as well as revenue generated from the CSD would be required. Police Protection: The proponent is proposing to provide on-site police services. The institutional arrangements for implementing on-site services has not been confirmed. Various arrangements, such as contracting police services through the Sheriff's Department or establishing a public safety system, are being considered. Until on-site police services are provided, the demand for service from the County Sheriff's Department would increase. Fire Protection: Project plans call for providing on-site fire protection services, including a fully staffed and equipped fire station. However, the project would increase the demand on local fire protection
