• s address the actual construction, the actual putting in place of this to handle the entire town and to discuss ways of managing this project for the immediate and distant future, creating an assessment district , etc. , and the relationship to growth induce- ment . Also, it should discuss the need to expand the sphere of influence, which, by law, around cities is a mile . That will have to be expanded because of the development . The growth indu- cement that is caused by the influence of the sphere of influence adjustment . It should study the level of commuting, where do these people go, what is their traffic pattern and the rela- tionship to the air quality and the basin and in the County and in the area. Lastly, the expansion of the sewer facility it self and the lines and all of the things that are contributed to the expansion of that . How growth inducing will that be. Comm. Jungeblut said he had some questions on the environmental effect . Carbon monoxide, particulates, and other pollutants and odors are checked with no effect . He said he could not quite go along with that . Also, he did not agree with groundwater being checked no effect . Kitty Walker said that the Initial Study was prepared by County staff and that information was passed on to the consultant firm, which can only respond to what has been checked as a potentially significant impact. If the Commission determines that there are other potential impacts that could be addressed, the scope of the EIR needs to be expanded to address those issues. Comm. Gillispie said that in regard to the quality and quantity of the groundwater, it may be that the project will use less groundwater than present agriculture, but he does not know that for sure, so it should be discussed. He said he did not see a noise contour study. Kitty Walker said the reason staff determined that noise was not a significant impact is that our noise ordinance only addresses noise impacts to residential development. This project proposes that all commercial development be within the high noise area. Carolyn Mills, Mills and Associates, said that the Air Pollution Control District Director sent a letter which asked for a modeling study. .` PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED No action was taken on this item because the only purpose of the hearing was to receive testimony and information from interested parties.
