PC: 7-16-87 SU -87-24 This subdivision is consistent with this policy, as explained in the "Facilities/Services" section of this report. Staff has considered the housing needs of the County in recom- mending approval of this subdivision and has concluded that the housing that may result from this approval can be balanced with the service requirements of existing residents in the area. AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: Land Use: The project site is on the northern edge of the Peters Rural Residential area. The project site has a dwelling and a barn. To the north there is an area of large -lot, rural -type housing under Agriculture zoning. Generally, the area to the east is pasture land which extends to the foothills, and the area to the west is row and field crops. See the Land Use Map in the staff report. Access/Street Improvements: The existing access to the project site (proposed subdivision) is provided by a 25 -foot -wide fee -title strip driveway located on the southern line of the project property. This access is not sufficient to meet standards for a public road. The proposed access to the subdivision is by 50 -foot -wide public roads (Vacco Road and Golden Hills Place). Vacco Road is currently a private road that serves Peter Vacco's property located just east of the proposed subdivision property. The Department of Public Works has provided Conditions of Approval for both Golden Hills Place and Vacco Road. Golden Hills Place is to be improved to a 50 -foot -wide right-of-way rural road standard (32 -foot -wide pavement section). Vacco Road is also to be improved to rural road standards, except the pavement width is to be 20 feet. Vacco Road is to be graded, and the roadside ditches are to be constructed to conform with an ultimate 32 -foot pavement width. Subsequent development using Vacco Road will be required to widen the pavement to 32 feet. Vacco Road from Fine Road through the east right-of-way return for Golden Hills Place will be acquired by the applicant and dedicated to the County. If the applicant is unable to acquire this portion of Vacco Road from the existing property owner, the subdivider will request that the County acquire the road, with all expenses to be borne by the subdivider. - 14 -
