Item No. 3 D/c 9-30-81 5-82-3 Page 2 REFERRALS AND REPLIES - Tracy School District -- This project would affect the high school district only. The high school is not overcrowded and could absorb approximately 75 additional students but our enrollment projections , based on projects already approved, will produce more than 75 students in the next 3-5 years. This project should not be approved until the applicant signs an agree- ment to pay an agreed upon amount per bedroom to help provide classroom space. - City of Tracy -- "Recommendation: Conditional approval. Basis for Recommendation: If subdivision is approved, the following conditions should be addressed: 1. Street lighting on Von Sosten and Hansen Road. 2 . With the increased traffic generated by the subdivision, there may need to be an additional traffic protection at the intersection of Von Sosten and Hansen. 3 . That a screening type fence be constructed around the perimeter of the subdivision to prevent the disruption of the agricultural uses. As a comment , the Community Development Staff reiterates the City Council's recommendation in the referral of February 1, 1980 GA5 to RR 65 , that the development of this property would be " . . a major precedent setting amendment and could permit erosion of the General Plan and its goals . " - Public Works -- "The site would not be subject to flooding from an Intermediate Regional flood. Hansen Road at this site and Von Sosten Road at this site have an existinq right of way width of 50 ' and 44 ' respectively, and a planned right of way width of 60 ' and 60 ' . Road right of way dedication will be required to develop each road R/W to 60 ' ultimate. This will be required on subdivision map. Public Works policy recommends storm basins in RR-65 zone be located at rear of lot or community pond under P.U.D. Due to high groundwater table and undesirable soil conditions of the area, the roject should be referred toCCCalifornia Regional Water Quality Control Boar and Local Health District . OTHER CONSIDERATIONS - The area has a high water table and impervious soil strata. The proposed method of sewage disposal is by individual septic tanks . The proposed method of drainage is by individual ponds . Because of the poor subsurface drainage, the local soils are unsuited for disposal of water by percolation. - In previous developments in the area, reliance on individual ponds has caused local flooding. A better environment would be produced by a community drainage system which could convey excess water off the individual properties. - Use of septic tanks for sewage disposal in a high water table area will create a threat of possible groundwater contamination or leachfield failure.
