Item ,NO. 8 PC: 6-7-79 S-79-6 Page 2 REFERRALS AND REPLIES - Local Health District - Several soil percolation tests have been con- ducted on adjacent parcels to this subdivision and have yielded extremely good results -- 1" per 6 minutes requiring 6000 square feet of absorption area for the septic systems. The soil in this subdivision consists of a sandy loam which is similar to that of adjacent parcel where the percola- tion tests had been completed and it is estimated that additional perco- lation tests will yield the same results. (i.e. 1" per 6 minutes). Based on this data, the San Joaquin County Local Health District will per- mit 20,000 square feet per lot with the provision that three additional percolation tests be completed in this proposed subdivision and yield a percolation rate of not greater than 20 minutes per inch. This provision conforms to the requirements stated in San Joaquin County Ordinance 549, Rules and Regulations pertaining thereto. - Pacific Gas & Electric Company - We will require 10 -foot public utility easements on all perimeter roads for gas and electric facilities. - Thornton Water District - Recommended approval. _ not+a rpt t®,o OTHER CONSIDERATIONS - A public water system has been constructed in Thornton. However, although efforts are being made to obtain grant funds for a sewer system, no such system is available presently. - Should a sewage system become available, the subdivision should be con- nected to it. This would prevent possible health problems. - .Road access should be provided to the south to accommodate future development. - It will be necessary to construct a storm pond on the property in order to handle storm drainage. Lot 14 should be used for this purpose, as it is too small for development without public sewers. - The 15' access strips to Lots 8 and 9 should be eliminated. Since Lot 7 is proposed to merge with the property to the east, it could be used to provide the 20' necessary for a standard County road. - The overall density of the subdivision is less than 2 units per gross acre, about 2 units per net acre. A higher density would not be possible without sewers. The Health District has indicated that 20,000 square foot lots are permissible provided additional percolation tests confirm other tests in the same area. - Although the property was never actually subdivided, subdivision type improvements have been constructed. - This property was formerly a trailer park. The disused pads are still visible. - The housing project to the north is being reconstructed.
