Mr. Olmstead said that requirement of public water and drainage would <br />delay the project by two or three years. He noted that creation of an <br />area of benefit would also take some time. <br />The question was asked if a new E.I.R. would be required because of <br />this new issue. Mr. Curran replied that it would have to be a supple- <br />ment to the E.I.R., focused on the new issue. <br />The question was asked about the proposed rewording by Mr. Olmstead on <br />Condition Nos. 2(d) and 3(c) if that was to allow individual wells on <br />this subdivision and any other subdivision. Mr. Olmstead replied in <br />the affirmative. <br />Comm. Gillispie said that this wording could not be placed on this <br />particular subdivision. <br />It was noted, however, that the subject subdivision is in the middle <br />of area also proposed for development, and the criteria for all of the <br />subdivisions within that immediate area should be considered at the <br />same time. <br />Chairman Jungeblut commented that it is possible that 300 or 400 new <br />residences may go into the area and could result in that number of <br />individual wells and septic tanks. <br />Mr. Miller said that Local Health District is of the view that com- <br />munity wells could be better monitored and, if necessary, treated; and <br />this would better serve the public. <br />Tony Traina, 7783 Linne Road, Tracy, one of the owners of the property, <br />commented on the percolation of that soil. The drainage is <br />excellent. Regarding the wells, the question of individual wells was <br />previously settled and requirement of a public water system would be a <br />financial hardship. He noted that the chloroform is coming from one <br />company and that property owner should be made to clean up the <br />problem. He said that Triple E operates only two months out of the <br />year. He said that contamination of a public well would cause more <br />problems than contamination of one or two individual wells. <br />Mr. Edwards, 5262 Canal Boulevard, the applicant, said that a com- <br />munity well would cost so much it may not be possible to sell the <br />lots. <br />Mr. Traina said he was willing to provide a test well from some of the <br />existing wells. <br />Gerald Costa, South MacArthur Drive, commented on the excellent <br />drainage in the area. He said he had some concern on the chloroform <br />problem and wanted to know if the individual wells could be randomly <br />monitored. <br />Mr. Miller, Local Health District, asked who would be responsible for <br />the monitoring. <br />_4_ MINUTES <br />PC: 9/10/87 <br />
