Mr . Sanfilippo <br /> November 1 , 2022 <br /> Page 2 <br /> a viable connection already exists . This existing access will need to be <br /> upgraded to current Caltrans standard . <br /> 2 . The proposed driveway may require the removal of an existing Valley Oak tree . As <br /> this tree is a protected species, the applicant must obtain San Joaquin County ' s <br /> approval to remove it and provide Caltrans with proof of that approval during the <br /> Encroachment Permit phase . A bird survey of the area will also be required . <br /> 3 . The proposed site development is adjacent to the state route . The developer needs <br /> to ensure that the existing state drainage facilities will not be significantly impacted <br /> by the project . If historical undeveloped topography shows drainage from this site <br /> flowed into the State Right - of- Way (SROW ) , it may continue to do so with the <br /> conditions that peak flows may not be increased from the pre- construction <br /> quantity and the site runoff be treated to meet present storm water quality <br /> standards . If historical undeveloped topography shows drainage from this site did <br /> not flow into the SROW , then it will not be allowed to flow into the SROW . <br /> 4 . An Encroachment Permit will be required for any work done within the <br /> Department ' s right of way . This work is subject to the California Environmental <br /> Quality Act . Therefore , environmental studies may be required as part of the <br /> encroachment permits application . A qualified professional must conduct any <br /> such studies undertaken to satisfy the Department ' s environmental review <br /> responsibilities . Ground disturbing activities to the site prior to completion and / or <br /> approval of required environmental documents may affect the Department ' s <br /> ability to issue a permit for the project . Furthermore , if engineering plans or <br /> drawings will be part of your permit application , they should be prepared in <br /> standard units . <br /> If you have any questions, please contact me at 209 - 483- 2582 or Nicholas Fung at <br /> ( 209 ) 986- 1552 . <br /> Sincerely , <br /> FOR <br /> Tom Dumas <br /> Chief, Office of Metropolitan Planning <br /> " Provide a safe and reliode transportation network that serves dl people and respects he emAronrnent " <br />
