PC: 9-10-87 ZR-87-34/SU-86-12 Areawide Circulation: Development of the proposed subdivision will necessitate a road circulation plan for that portion of the Valpico Rural Residential Area south of Fairoaks Road, west of the Banta Carbona Irrication District canal, north of the Western Pacific Railroad line, and east of MacArthur Drive (refer to Land Use map). The Department of Public Works recommends that a master circulation plan be prepared for the Traina Brothers General Plan Amendment area (refer to Conditions of Approval). Water, Sewer, and Storm Drainage Facilities: The Major Subdivision application was filed pursuant to Section 9-10002(c)(1) of the Planning Title. This section allowed Rural Residential Tentative Subdivision Maps filed prior to May 28, 1987, to be considered under development standards in effect prior to that date. On that date, the Board of Supervisors adopted the County Development Ordinance, which required (among other items) that Rural Residential parcels less than two acres be served by a community water system and a community drainage system. As proposed, the Apricot Acres sub- division would be served by individual wells, individual septic systems, and on-site drainage ponds. However, the code provi- sion cited above is permissive, and actual service requirements depend on site-specific conditions. In the case of Apricot Acres, the recommended conditions of approval call fo_r_com- munity water and community storm drainage systems. The Department of Public Works, the Local Health District, and the Tracy Rural Fire District recommend that a public water system be constructed. The Local Health District notes that organic chemical contaminations have been found in the vicinity and that this potential problem can be better monitored and controlled with a public water system. In addition due to the number of septic tanks being proposed and installed in this area,the residents can be better s_er_ved with a public water system. The Department of Public Works recommends that a master drainage plan be prepared for the project and that a community drainage pond be constructed in conformance with the master drainage plan and Department of Public Works standards.
