Clark<ralphallenclark(@yahoo.com> Sent:Tuesday,June 28, 2022 12:29 PM To: Goulart, Alisa [CDD] <alisa.goulartPsigov.org> Subject: Project PA2200116 comments in opposition CAUTION:This email is originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I am writing concerning the project (application number PA-2200116 (MS) located at 13294 E. Harney Lane which is my neighboring parcel to the west. My first concern with with proposed parcel split (and the ones previous done to this parcel) is the demand it will place on the water table in my immediate area at this point in the development of this community. Leaving aside the loss of the open space of the previous cattle ranch, the overdevelopment of large parcels from valuable farm and pasture land into small suburban parcel sizes, soil degradation, runoff, and density issues (traffic, power lines, noise) that are detrimental to a sustainable rural lifestyle, the fact that this original parcel had one well, then two (after the first split), and will ultimately end up with SIX wells (after two more splits) is too much to sit by and not voice any concern. A 600% increase in pressure on our immediate water table in this neighborhood at a time where every single day you see, hear, and read reports about the historic drought facing California at this moment, when you see places having to use drastic and draconian measures to reduce water use, I don't see how this would be seen as smart management of our local area's precious resources. I won't even mention the subsidence sinking of the floor of the entire Central Valley. To add insult to injury the San Joaquin Water Conservation District just sent me proposed fees I will have to pay to help replenish depleted groundwater aquifers at the same time you sent this proposal to me that would put a 6 fold increase in pressure on the aquifer in the same District. It just doesn't make sense.
