Item No. 12 P/C 10-6-77 5-78-1 Page 2 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT - The project is for a 39 lot residential subdivision. Lot size is 20,000 square feet or more for each lot and each lot is provided with 100' of frontage as defined by ordinance. The design is such that the rear of each lot abuts the proposed golf course (the golf course will require a separate use permit) . It is proposed to provide a 40' building setback from this line which would be landscaped by the golf course thus blending the subdivision into the course. The subdivision will also be graded to blend into the planned rolling topography of the golf course. - Planned services include a public water system with two wells and drainage. Stormwater runoff will be collected by rain gutters and drained into water hazards on the golf course thence it would be piped to the Mokelumne River. No sewers are proposed, instead, the subdivision will rely on individual septic tanks. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING - The site of the proposed subdivision is east of the existing Woodbridge Golf Course and north of the existing clubhouse. North and east of the property is agricultural land, orchards and vineyards. Along the south side of Woodbridge Road, to the east is some residential development, including two subdivisions totalling 35 units. Southeast across the Mokelumne River is the community of Woodbridge and the City of Lodi. - The site is at about 42+' above mean sea level on the high ground, north of the Mokelumne River. According to the Corps of Engineers, this property is above the 100 year and 500 year flood elevation. - Soil is Hanford Sandy Loam, a USDA Class I soil. This soil is well suited to use as a golf course and also for the construction of roads or foundations. This soil is well drained, however there is a weakly cemented hardpan layer at about 40" depth. ZONING AND PLANS - The property is planned for future "suburban density residential" development, and is zoned RA-20 (Residential Agriculture) . The proposed subdivision conforms with the General Plan and zoning as to land use and density. It doe:: not conform with the adopted General Principle which states that; 4. All possible means will be used to ensure that all existing urban areas are provided with basic services, including storm drainage, sani- tary sewers, water supply, and solid waste disposal and that all future urban development will coincide with planned extensions of these basic services. a. In urban centers with municipal sewer and water, residential expansion within growth areas shown on the General Plan will re- quire the extension of municipal facilities. - As the subdivision, as proposed, will not have sewer service, it does not conform with this plan policy.
