Mr. Seligman said that on January 20, 1983 there was a Planning Commission meeting involving this area and Mrs. Lindberg raised the issue of her right to have access to her property by being able to utilize her 25 -foot fee title strip and her 25 -foot recorded easement. Staff has since said that she does not have access to her rural resi- dential subdivision. Chance Wong, Civil Engineer, was also present for the applicant. He said that there are two subdivisions immediately south of the subject property which were drained in the same manner as being recommended for this project. Mr. Wong said that the additional drainage from the subdivision will not be going onto the neighboring properties. He also noted that the development.will meet the requirements for the percolation tests. OPPONENTS: Peter Vacco, 1150 Fine Road, said the back yard of some of the proposed lots will run into his front yard. He asked for a landscaping buffer which would also help decrease noise. He asked about garbage disposal and who would pay for the street lights. He objected to the name "Vacco Road." He said he did not give his per- mission to use his family name on the road. He said the opening of this road will increase traffic into the area. Mr. Vacco objected to condemnation of his property in order to obtain access for the road to Mrs. Lindberg's subdivision. He noted that eucalyptus trees are planted in the 50 -foot fee strip which is on his property and he wanted those trees preserved and maintained if that fee strip becomes a public right-of-way. He suggested an alternative access - that the 25 -foot easement be obtained from the three parcels sold by Mrs. Lindberg. Mr. Vacco went on to say that the water supply is suffering from an overdraft. He said that drainage is a problem in the area but he is willing to grant a right-of-way for drainage on the north side of his driveway. Comm. Carter asked about access on the other side of the road, as suggested by Mr. Vacco. Mr. Seligman said that County departments were not in favor of that. The location of the three houses are too close to allow for a 50 -foot right-of-way because of frontage require- ments. Tom Solari, 21980 E. Third Avenue, Linden, said that a drainage ditch was put in to drain Petersburg Subdivision and that ditch is not being maintained by the County. The property owners are supposed to main- tain it but this is not being done and the ditch is caving in. In 1982 there was a flood across Fine Road. The area in question is a major natural drainage area; the water has always drained through there; and if there is not a substantial drainage provision put in that area, that property, and others in the area, will probably be flooded. He said that as development increases, drainage problems will also increase. Patrick Roebling, 22069 E. Third Avenue, Linden, said he owns property south of the property in question; it is the lowest piece of property PC: 7/16/87 - 5 - MINUTES
