Hazelton Ave. <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> Regarding: Second Addendum to Soil Suitability/Nitrate Loading Study <br /> Ackerman Property <br /> 5861 W. Kile Rd., Lodi, CA <br /> Mr. Gooderham: <br /> In response to your phone call today, this letter addresses the issue of "new development" on <br /> the above project site. <br /> Mr. Ackerman does not propose any new construction. It is Live Oak's understanding that the <br /> carriage house on the site was converted into one-bedroom apartment without a permit and <br /> prior to Mr. Ackerman's ownership. The carriage house septic system predated the apartment <br /> and was installed in the 1920s or earlier (personal communication, April 14, 2020). <br /> Per our phone call this afternoon, however, Live Oak understands that San Joaquin County <br /> considers the apartment and septic system to be "new development" because no prior records <br /> have been identified. Therefore, on page 1 of the Soil Suitability/Nitrate Loading Study <br /> (SSNLS), the existing apartment should be considered the "proposed development." On page <br /> 2, the existing septic system that serves the apartment should be considered the "proposed <br /> septic system." The final line on page 8, "No new construction is anticipated," should read, "No <br /> new construction is anticipated; however, San Joaquin County considers the existing apartment <br /> and associated septic system to be new development because no prior records have been <br /> identified." The same modification should be made to line 14 on page 14. <br /> We hope this letter clarifies the status of the apartment on the Site. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Live Oak GeoEnvironmental, Inc. <br /> cS�ONAL <br /> e-C <br /> aQ DAVID J.VELCH 1 <br /> Abigail Racco, Project Manager * N0.2151 <br /> CEATIREU <br /> ENGINEE W <br /> GEaLpGIST P <br /> r0 , <br /> David J.
