PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 16, 1987 4. MAJOR SUBDIVISION APPLICATION NO. SU -87-24 OF LINDA LINDBERG (C/O WONG ENGINEERS, INC.) for a seven (7) lot rural residential sub- division. The property is located on the east side of Fine Road, south of Milton Road, Peters. (Supervisorial District No. 4) Associate Planner James Van Buren introduced a staff report into the record. He noted letters received from County Counsel and Public Works. Mr. Van Buren said that staff was of the view that Finding Nos. 10 and 11 answered the concerns of County Counsel. Supervising Sanitarian Al Olsen noted that Local Health District had some concerns regarding the percolation test. The developer would have to meet percolation test requirements. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED PROPONENTS: Attorney Howard Seligman was present to represent the applicant. He said this issue has been in existence since 1978-79; this present proposal was presented to Mrs. Lindberg by the County to allow her to use her property to utilize the existing RR -65 zoning and the General Plan designation of Rural Residential. This proposal is the result of discussions with the County Administrator's Office, County Counsel and Public Works. The RR -65 zoning will allow develop- ment of seven lots. The 25 -foot strip connecting the property to Fine Road was to be dedicated to the County for the ultimate use as a public roadway. Also, the ditch adjacent to the road was to be dedi- cated to the County as a public drainage channel. The three parcels fronting along the 25 -foot fee strip were sold without requiring addi- tional dedication; the 25 -foot easement does not meet the width requirements for a public roadway that would allow Mrs. Lindberg to develop her seven -lot subdivision. Mrs. Lindberg intends to provide access to her project via "Vacco Road." Mr. Seligman said that the main concern of the property owners in the area is over drainage problems. He asked the Public Works' represen- tative, Mr. Lopez, to explain the recommendation on drainage and its consistency with previous recommendations. Mr. Lopez said it is con- sistent with the Planning Title and does not conflict with standard plans; and that Public Works sees this as a viable method of providing terminal drainage. He said it is not practical to require a County Service Area to maintain a few feet of open ditch along Fine Road; and that would require the developer to provide a study for the drainage. The drainage will go along the north side of Vacco Road. Mr. Seligman said that the developer expects to meet drainage require- ments in order to insure that drainage will go away from the area. Mr. Seligman went on to say that they have hired Kleinfelder and Associates to do additional percolation tests in conformance with Local Health District requirements. PC: 7/16/87 - 4 - MINUTES
