OWNER(S): Harry A. Merlo,et al.
The project is a proposed land division (Subdivision Map-44 Lots) of approximately
1460-acres lying on the north and south sides of Richard Springs Road.
The proposed parcel locations and their sizes have been configured to be accessible from
the recently constructed road, provide views of the valley from potential home locations,
and avoid the steeper terrain areas in order to provide a minimum of 5-acre useable area
for individual on-site sewage disposal systems on each parcel.
It is proposed that each parcel will have its on deep well for water supply.
The proposed parcel locations are delineated on the Preliminary Subdivision Map.

Project: Proposed Subdivision(44-Lots), 1460-acres+/ SEP 0 7 2007
DEVELOPMENT
1. SCHEDULE: ,,- SERVICES
It is proposed to subdivide the 1460-acres into approximately 44-lots, (minimum size of
20-acres) via the Subdivision Map process. Approximately one-third of the land lies on
the south side of Richardson Springs Road and two-thirds is located on the north side.
The property on the north has access out to Cohasset Road. It is proposed to reserve
eighty percent(80%)of the property as Open Space(O/S.)
A 4-Lot, Tentative Parcel Map Application was previously submitted to the Planning
Department (04-23-07) for processing on a 122-acre parcel (AP# 47-230-039), also
owned by Richardson Springs Ridge,LLC,adjacent to AP#56-03-18.
2. RELATED PERMITS, AND STUDIES:
Road Construction--Grading Permit No. 05-01:
A road plan was prepared by RAR (Rolls, Anderson and Rolls) and subsequently
approved by the Butte County Planning Commission in May 2006, per Resolution No.
06-22. The road plan encompasses a total of approximately 1600-acres (which includes
the 122-acres previously mentioned) and terminates at Cohasset Road, thus providing a
secondary emergency access from Cohasset Road to Richardson Springs and essentially
eliminating the dead-end designation for the Richardson Springs Road.
The approved road plan entails approximately 10-miles of road, which has been
pioneered and is traversable, but not fully completed The road construction plan was
approved per Butte County Planning Commission Resolution PC06022 (05-11-06) as
noted in the Grading Permit,File#GRD 05-01.
Tree Survey:
A tree survey was performed, over the entire 1600-acre site by a Registered Professional
Forester, wherein all of the oak trees (5-inches in diameter above the 4.5-foot level)
within the proposed roadway alignment were identified. Oak trees will be planted at a 3:1
ratio (3 trees planted for each tree removed.) The tree(s) will be monitored for 7-years to
ensure their success. This condition was previously stipulated by the County Planning
Department. This condition is noted as Mitigation #2 in the above referenced Grading
Permit. The monitoring will be performed and records kept through a contract with an
outside company experienced in tree surveillance and monitoring.
l
Page 2
Attachment 2 �
Archeological Study:
An Archeological Study and Assessment was performed, over the 1600-acres, by a
Consulting Archeologist, employed by North Coast Resource Management. The study
identified all historic sites and made recommendations for their preservation. The study
was previously accepted and approved by the County Planning Department. Reference to
the study and required conditions are noted as Mitigation#3 in the Grading Permit.
Regional Water Quality Control Board-Central Valley Region:
The RWQCB indicated that the project site is outside their jurisdiction and is therefore
not affected by the project, except to ensure that the SWPPP is adhered to and monitored
per Mitigation#4 in the Grading Permit. A copy of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan(SWPPP)is attached to this application..
Butte County of Environmental Health:
Backhoe test holes have not been dug on the property, specifically to determine soil
depths and/or percolation characteristics; however, numerous test holes were dug on the
adjoining 122-acres in conjunction with the Tentative Map Application. The required 5-
acre minimum of useable leach areas were identified on the property for each parcel. The
surrounding lands have been developed over the years and it is anticipated that this
proposed development will be consistent with the soil conditions encountered throughout
the Richardson Springs area.
Domestic Water:
A 390-foot deep water well was drilled in 2005 on the 122-acre site not only for the
purpose of supplying water to the sub-grade during the construction of the roads,but also
to demonstrate the available of potable water on the site. The estimated yield of the well
is 500 gallons per minute (gpm), per Well Completion Report No. 1093398, dated 01-04-
06. The well was drilled by`a licensed well driller (North State Drilling.) There are
numerous homes in the surrounding Richardson Springs area that rely on ground water
for domestic consumption. The availability of good, potable underground water sources
has been well documented over the years.
3. SITE DESCRIPTION:
The area.is typical of the foothill terrain prevalent in the upper Sacramento Valley,
comprised of oak trees, scattered brush, and volcanic rock formations. The area is also a
popular deer wintering area and other wildlife. The area is used extensively for cattle
grazing in the winter months..There are no structures on the property. A high-voltage
transmission line traverses a portion of the property from north to south.

4. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES:
The surrounding properties are in general the same as the project site. Homes and mini
ranches are prevalent along the Richardson Springs Road. Much of the surrounding land
is used for winter cattle grazing. Cultural, historical and scenic aspects of the area are
what lure people to live in the area, as well as its seclusion to avoid the hectic
environment in the more densely populated areas. Much of the surrounding properties are
zoned 20-40 acre minimum parcel sizes.
5. SPECIAL STUDIES:
The special studies and plan preparations that have been performed for this site have
previously been noted in this Attachment No. 2. Consisting of the following:
• Archaeological Study
• Tree Survey
• Botanical Survey
• Road Plan
• Grading Permit and road construction
• Drilling and Development of a deep water well on AP#47-230-039.

Introduction
The proposed"Richardson Springs LLC Road Project" will construct approximately 9 miles of
permanent rocked and native soil road in order to provide access to the landowners property.
The project is located approximately 5.5 air miles northeast of the town of Chico,4 miles
northeast of the Chico Municipal Airport, and adjacent to the Richardson Spring Resort, in Butte
County, California. The legal description of the plan area is as follows: a portion of Sections 13
& 24, T23N, RIE, MDB&M and a portion of Sections 7, 17, 18, 19 & 30 T23N, R2E, MDB&M.
Access to the plan area is via Richardson Springs Road and Cohasset Road.
The project is expected to begin in the fall of 2004 and be completed by the winter of 2005.
In addition to this SWPPP a Grading Permit is being obtained from the County of Butte.
Source Identification
A. A vicinity map showing the project site and approximately 'A beyond is attached.
The property boundaries, the geographic features surrounding the site, surface
water bodies, wells, an outline of off-site drainage, general topography, and
anticipated discharge locations are depicted.
B. Two schematics are attached. These schematics detail the specifications for road
construction and drainage facilities installation.
Narrative Descriptions
A. Site Estimates and Description of On Site Soil
The project proponent proposes to utilize excavators, backhoes, graders, and bulldozers to
construct new roads and upgrade existing jeep trails. This work will involve the removal of
exiting brush, scrub oak, and gray pine from the roadway, the grading/removal of cobble from
the road surface, the cutting and filling of soil along the road grade, and the placement of
culverts at watercourse crossings. The following is a list of the watercourse crossings and the
size of culvert proposed for each:
1. 18"
2. 1811
3. 36"
4. 12„
5. 54"
6. 18"
7. 24"
9. 191,
10. 12"
11. 12"

15. 36"
16. 18"
17. 18"
18. lx"
19. 18"
20. 12"
21. 12"
22. Existing rock ford
23. Existing rock ford
24. 18"
The size of the above listed culverts was determined using the USGS Magnitude and Frequency
method for a 100 year flood flow.
The runoff coefficient of the area is currently 0.45 and will not change as a result of the proposed
operations. No portion of the site is currently impervious and this will continue to be the case
following operations.
Soils in the area are volcanic in nature and generally very stable with no obvious signs of slides,
slumping or major erosion.
B. Pollutants Likely to be Present in Storm Water Discharges
No pollutants are likely to be present in storm water discharges as a result of the proposed
operations. The only potential pollutant as a result of the operations would be sediment.
C. Toxic Materials
No toxic materials are know to have been (or are anticipated to be) treated, stored disposed of
spilled, or leaked in significant quantities onto or near the construction site. The only potential
toxic chemicals/materials expected to be on site will be vehicle fluids. If refueling of vehicles is
to occur on site the storage tank will meet all Federal, State and Local regulations and will be
located in such an area where there will be no chance of runoff should a spill occur.
D. Erosion and Sediment Control Practices
All road construction and reconstruction shall follow standards detailed within"Handbook for
Forest and Ranch Roads." Weaver and Hagens. 1994. USDA Soil Conservation Service.
General Practices
The following are general sediment control practices intended to prevent a net increase of
sediment load into storm water discharge:
• During the construction of the proposed roads, all side cast or fill extending more than 20
feet in slope distance from the outside edge of the roadbed that has access to a
watercourse shall be seeded and mulched.
• All roads will be out sloped where possible and will be drained with rolling dips (See
attached Schematic).
• New roads will not exceed a grade of 20%for over 500 feet. Any locations where new
road grades exceed 15%will be rocked.
• New roads will not be constructed on side slopes greater than 65%.
• The outlet of all new culvert installations will be rock armored to the top of the fill and a
dipped backup structure will be installed (See attached Schematic).
Soil Stabilization
The following are soil stabilization practices that will be used to preserve existing vegetation and
to re-vegetate open graded areas:
• New roads shall be no wider than single lane with adequate turnouts provided as required
for safety. The maximum width of the roads shall not exceed 15 feet.
• Any areas exceeding 100 square feet where operations have exposed bare soil, including
road cut banks and fills and any other areas of disturbed soil that threatens the beneficial
uses of water shall be stabilized by seeding and mulching.
Practices to Reduce Tracking Sediment
The following are sediment control practices that will be employed to reduce the tracking of
sediment onto public and private roads:
• Activities on any roadway within the project area shall be limited to dry, rainless periods
when soils are not saturated. If vehicle passage creates depressions of the road surface
that channel water and/or noticeably deform the road prism, activities will cease.
Wind Erosion
The following are dust control practices that will be employed to stabilize exposed surfaces and
minimize activities that suspend or track dust:
• The traveled surface of the roads will be treated by watering or rocking to prevent the
airborne transportation of dust particles.
Practices to Minimize Contact with Storm Water
The following are storm water management practices that will minimize contact of construction
vehicles, equipment, and material with storm water:
Maintenance-
• Maintain all construction equipment to prevent oil or other fluid leaks.
• Keep vehicles and equipment clean, prevent excessive build-up of oil and grease.
• Use off-site repair shops.
• Keep stockpiled spill cleanup materials readily accessible.
• Regularly inspect on site vehicles and equipment for leaks, and repair immediately.
• Check incoming vehicles and equipment(including delivery trucks and employee
vehicles) for leaking oil and fluids. Do not allow leaking vehicles or equipment on site.
• Segregate and recycle wastes, such as greases, used oil or oil filters, antifreeze, cleaning
solutions, automotive batteries, hydraulic, and transmission fluid.
Fueling-
• If fueling must occur on site, use designated areas away from drainage.
• Locate on-site fuel storage tanks within a bermed area designed to hold the tank volume.
• Cover the retention area with an impervious material and install it in a manner to ensure
that any spills will be contained in the retention area.
• Always use secondary containment, such as a drain pan or drop cloth to catch spills or
leaks when removing or changing fluids.
• Use drip pans for any oil or fluid changes.
Washing-
• Use as little water as possible to avoid installing erosion and sediment controls for the
wash area.
• If washing must occur on site, use designated, bermed wash areas to prevent waste water
discharge into storm water, creeks, rivers, and other water bodies.
• Use phosphate-free, biodegradable soaps.
• Do not permit steam cleaning on site.
Construction Material Loading, Unloading& Access Areas
No construction material is planned to be delivered to the site that may cause storm water
pollution. All equipment used during the construction of the road system will be unloaded at an
area away from all watercourses.
Waste Management& Disposal
No construction waste material is expected to be generated during operations. Miscellaneous
waste products will be kept in approved storage containers away from all watercourses and will
be removed no less that once a week.
Preconstruction Control Practices
There are no pre-construction practices that will contribute to the sedimentation or pollution of
storm water discharges in any manner.
E. Non-Storm Water Management
The only non-storm water discharges for this project will be water sprayed for dust control. The
water sprayed for dust control is necessary for the performance and completion of the project,the
discharge will not cause or contribute to a violation of any water quality standard or otherwise
have an adverse effect on receiving waters. No feasible alternatives to spraying water for dust
control are available.
Discharging sediment-laden water that will cause or contribute to an exceedance of the
applicable RWQCB's Basin Plan from a dewatering site or sediment basin into any receiving
water or storm drain without filtration or equivalent treatment is prohibited.
F. Maintenance,Inspection, and Repair of Structural Controls
All BMPs shall be inspected and maintained as described in Section L below.The Resource
Manager has been assigned the responsibility to conduct inspections. The name and telephone
number of the Resource Manager is listed below in Section L below and in the NOI document.
Inspections will be performed before and after storm events and once each 24-hour period during
extended storm events to identify BMP effectiveness and implement repairs or design changes as
soon as feasible depending upon field conditions. Equipment, materials,and workers shall be
available for rapid response to failures and emergencies. All corrective maintenance to BMPs
shall be performed as soon as possible after the conclusion of each storm depending upon worker
safety.
G. Spill Prevention and Control
Measures to prevent, control, and cleanup spills are described in this section. Cleanup of spills
will be immediate, automatic and routine and will be performed by a trained staff member or
licensed cleaning company.
The following is the contact person regarding spills:
Brian Hurt
Wyletti Timber Management
Resource Manager
PO Box 575
Covelo, CA 95428
(707) 983-6633
Minor spills are those that are likely to be controlled by on site personnel. After contacting local
emergency response agencies, the following actions should occur upon discovery of a minor
spill:
• Contain the spread of the spill.
• If the spill occurs on paved or impermeable surfaces, clean up using"dry" methods (i.e.
absorbent materials, cat litter, and or rags)
• If the spill occurs in dirt areas, immediately contain the spill by constructing an earthen
dike. Dig up an properly dispose of contaminated soil.
• If the spill occurs during rain, cover the impacted are to avoid runoff.
• Record all steps taken to report and contain spill.
While there will not be materials/chemicals utilized for the proposed operations in sufficient
quantities that might result in a major spill the following information is provided regarding major
spills. On-site personnel should not attempt to control major spills until the appropriate and
qualified emergency response staff have arrived at the site. In addition to local authorities,notify
the Governors Office of Emergency Services Warning Center at(800) 852-7550. For Spills of
federal reportable quantities, also notify the National response Center at(800)424-8802. A
written report should be sent to all notified authorities. Failure to report major spill can result in
significant fines and penalties.
A. Post ConstructiManagement
Storm Water Mana ement
The Erosion Control Measures described in item D above have been designed to reduce
pollutants in storm water discharges even after all construction phases have been completed at
the site (Post-Construction BMPs. Post-Construction BMPs include appropriately designed and
constructed energy dissipation devices, out sloping new roads, rocking steep sections of roads
and stabilizing areas of bare soil. These are consistent with all local post-construction storm
water management requirements, policies, and guidelines. The discharger has considered site-
specific and seasonal conditions when designing the control practices.

L. Monitoring
Monitoring Program Summary
The goal of the sampling and analysis is to determine whether the BMPs employed and
maintained on site are effective in preventing the potential pollutants from coming in contact
with storm water and causing or contributing to an exceedance of water quality objectives in the
receiving waters. The Monitoring Program will consist of Site Inspections, compliance
certification, noncompliance reporting, and record keeping.
i
Site Inspections
Qualified personnel shall conduct inspections of the construction site prior to anticipated storm
events, during extended storm events, and after actual storm events to identify areas contributing
to a discharge of storm water associated with construction activity. Brian Hurt, Resource
Manager(707) 983 —6633 shall be the responsible party for conducting inspections. Pre-storm
inspections are to ensure that BMPs are properly installed and maintained; post-storm
inspections are to assure that the BMPs have functioned adequately. During extended storm
events, inspections shall be required each 24-hour period. Best Management Practices(BMPs)
shall be evaluated for adequacy and proper implementation and whether additional BMPs are
required in accordance with the terms of the General Permit (see language in Section A. 11.
Maintenance, Inspection, and Repair). Implementation of nonstorm water discharge BMPs shall
be verified and their effectiveness evaluated. One time discharges of non-storm water shall be
inspected when such discharges occur.
For each inspection required above, the landowner/discharger shall complete an inspection
checklist. At a minimum, an inspection checklist shall include:
a. Inspection date.
b. Weather information: best estimate of beginning of storm event, duration of
event, time elapsed since last storm, and approximate amount of rainfall (inches).
C. A description of any inadequate BMPs.
d. If it is possible to safely access during inclement weather, list observations of all
BMPs: erosion controls, sediment controls,chemical and waste controls,and
non-storm water controls. Otherwise, list result of visual inspection at relevant
outfall, discharge point, or downstream location and projected required
maintenance activities.
e. Corrective actions required, including any changes to SWPPP necessary and
implementation dates.
f. Inspectors name, title, and signature.
The landowner/discharger shall prepare the inspection checklists using the inspection checklist
form provided by the SWRCB or RWQCB or on forms that contain the equivalent information.
Compliance Certification
Brian Hurt, Resource Manager(707)983 —6633 shall certify annually that construction activities
are in compliance with the requirements of the General Permit and this SWPPP. This
Certification shall be based upon the site inspections as described above. The certification must
be completed by July 1 of each year.
Noncompliance Reporting
Dischargers who cannot certify compliance with the General Permit and the SWPPP and/or who
have had other instances of noncompliance shall notify the appropriate RWQCB within 30 days.
Corrective measures should be implemented immediately following discovery that water quality
standards were exceeded. The notifications shall identify the noncompliance event, including an
initial assessment of any impact caused by the event; describe the actions necessary to achieve
compliance; and include a time schedule subject to the modifications by the RWQCB indicating
when compliance will be achieved. Noncompliance notifications must be submitted within 30-
calendar days of identification of noncompliance.
Monitoring Records
Records of all inspections, compliance certifications, and noncompliance reporting shall be
retained for a period of at least three years from the date generated. With the exception of
noncompliance reporting, dischargers are not required to submit these records.

Re: PRED07-0008 - A Pre-Development applicant to review a proposed subdivision or five parcels
(total of 1,460 acres) into 44 lots ranging in size from 20 acres to 280 acres. 80% of the project
site is proposed to be dedicat--d as open space. The project site is located south of Cohasset
Road, approximately 3 miles northeast of Keefer Road, and on the north and south side of
Richardson Springs Road, approximately 2.7 miles northeast of Cohasset Road. APN 056-020-
125, 056-030-017, 056-030-01.8, 056-030-028 and 056-060-017.

Dear Mr. Anderson:
This letter is intended to provide a summary of the information provided in the Pre-Development
meeting held on October 17, 2007, regarding your proposal for a subdivision map.
The following written comments are included with this letter:
1. Butte County Public Works—Draft conditions
2. Butte County Fire (CDF)Department—Draft Conditions
3. Butte County Environmental Health
Page 1 of 3
4. Butte County Building Division
5. Butte County Local Agency Formation Commission
If staff receives any additional comments from outside agencies,they will be sent out by email.
The following is a brief summary of the comments discussed at the meeting:.
Planning—
1. The project area has two general plan designations, Agricultural Residential (20 acres
consistent/1 to 19 acres conditionally consistent) and Grazing Open Land (40 acre minimum)
and is zoned Unclassified (20 acre minimum). The project area is also in two deer herd areas
(40 acre critical winter and 20 acre winter). Based on the above information, I completed the
following rough table that addresses the number of possible lots:
General Plan Zoning 40 ac Critical 20 acre Winter
GOL AR Unclassified Winter Deer Area Deer Area
Acres 315.5 1,144.5 1,460 1,233.63 226.37
Lots 7 57 73 30 11
Total 64 73 41
This determination was taken from a quick acre determination from maps on GIS. Based on the
calculations, it appears under the current policies regarding the deer herd areas, a maximum
number of lots would be 41. This is three less than what was proposed as part of the Pre-
Development application.
2. The option of using the Flexible Lot Provision section (BCC 24-82) was discussed. The idea of
clustering smaller lots (5 to 10 acres) along Cohasset Road and south of Richardson Springs
Road would create a more contiguous open space area. Discussions with the Department of Fish
& Game will be necessary to address the deer herd areas (20 acre winter and 40 acre critical
winter areas). Staff was very interested in the use of the Flexible Lot Provision if septic
requirements could be met. The possibility of created contiguous open space would be big plus
for the project. The proposed flex-lot map submitted in after the meeting is designed per .
discussions at the meeting. It also does not exceed the lot total shown for the deer herd area in
the table above.
3. How will the proposed management of the open space area be accomplished. Would the open
space area be conveyed to a state agency (such as Fish and Game), a conservancy group, or will
a conservation easement be placed on the open space area.
4. Possible required studies in order properly analyze the project. The studies include, but not
limited to, a biological study, wetlands survey and an archeological report. Reports should be
submitted as part of the application. Other studies may be required during project review.
5. Not discussed at the meeting was the location of the proposed access roads and the topography.
It appears that many areas have a significant slop were the access roads are proposed. Any
portion of the access road that exceeds 16% slope will need to be paved to be consistent with
fire regulations. No roads can be located on a slope of more than 20%. (Please contact Darren
Read at Cal Fire/Butte County Fire Department to discuss all roadway design requirements.
530-538-7888)
Page 2 of 3
Public Works—
1. Need to determine that the project has the right to use Richardson Springs Road.
2. Discussed the different road improvement standards for internal circulation roads and
emergency access road. Discussed road improvement requirements along parcel frontages on
Richardson Springs Road and Cohasset Road.
3. Identified three alternatives for road improvements.
A. Public Road Subdivision
B. Gated Private Road Subdivision
C. Private Road Parcel Map
4. Please review attached draft conditions of approval. Note that draft conditions submitted are
based on preliminary review and based on plans submitted for the Pre-Development Meeting.
The project will be re-evaluated at time of project application submittal.
Environmental Health—
1. The applicant must be able to prove adequate depth of soil to meet Butte County Improvement
Standards' Appendix VII requirements, which may include winter time groundwater
monitoring.
2. The applicant may be required to prove adequate quantity of potable water by drilling a well in a
representative location of the subdivision.
3. Recommend beginning their pre-application right away in order to use the coming wet season.
4. There was discussion regarding a change in waste water regulations. This may allow for new
systems to be place on parcels that could not meet current Appendix VII requirements. Please
contact Butte County Environmental for more information on the changes. (530-538-7281)
California Department of Forestry—
1. Please review attached draft conditions of approval. Note that draft conditions submitted are
based on preliminary review and based on plans submitted for the Pre-Development Meeting.
The project will be re-evaluated at time of project application submittal.
Agricultural Commissioner—
1. No concerns. Parcel not currently in agricultural production.
Note that these issues are not exhaustive. During the processing of the actual application,other issues
may arise that could place significant conditions on your project. If you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to call me at 530-538-7376, or email at mmichelena@buttecounty.net.

Dear Mark:
, r
This letter is a follow up to what T considered to be.a very productive Pre-Development
Conference meeting last week- I can't emphasize enough-how refreshing it was to leave
the meeting realizing that you and the other staff members were so generous with what
we.considered viable,and 'constructive,-input. This isnot a simple project, and some
aspects are certainly unprecedented;however,,we.feel that a project can be;put-together "
that will conform to Butte County,requirements,and the objective of'the property owners.
Enclosed are.10 copies of the Preliminary Map depicting the"clustering concept", albeit, .
this plan is preliminary "and subject to considerable change,configuration, etc. I have
taken the liberty of highlighting the proposed lot boundaries, and other features'in an
effort-to' better clarifythe project`scope.
j . We intend to proceed with the backhoe test hole(s)-investigation very-soon, and will also "
be.submitting-the Pre-Application Review packet,along with the$2,258.30 review-fee,to
the Environmental Health Department in.a few days to formally start the ground water -
monitoring,and,inspection process. In the meantime we will also be investigating several
other concerns expressed by the-Public Works Department regarding legal road access, -
. etc.• '
Thanks again and please call if you need'any other information regarding this project.
When you or any of your staff decide to,visit the.site, either myself,-or Brian Hurt,would,
be:glad to accompany you. a -

Thank you for the opportunity to review the above referenced project. LAFCO has the following
comments
1. If urban type services (e.g. street lighting, drainage, fire protection, etc.) for the new
development are proposed to be provided through formation of a new local agency such
as a county service area(CSA) or a community service district(CSD), LAFCO as the
authorizing agency, should be consulted early to allow for a meaningful analysis of the
issue prior to County consideration of the development application. This early
coordination will allow for the anticipated LAFCO action to be fully integrated into the
project review process and should result in the proposal being:
A. Fully described in the project description; and
B. Fully addressed in the appropriate environmental documents; and
C. Circulated to LAFCO for review as an agency with an approval role; and
D. Fully integrated into the public hearing process.
The absence of this early coordination and failure to address the LAFCO related issues as
described will require additional environmental review and related studies at such time a
formation is requested resulting in unnecessary costs and delays. It should be understood
Mark Michelena
September 19,2007
Page 2 of 2
that such a request would be reviewed based on state law and local LAFCO policies
which are clearly directed at maximizing service efficiencies, minimizing the creation of
new governmental entities, limiting urban sprawl and directing new development to areas
with existing urban servic.-providers.
2. As stated above, the project site is within two tax rate areas. It appears that the proposed
lots would not cross any lines of assessment, but the final lot configuration should be
closely reviewed to ensure that no lot crosses a line of assessment.
3. It appears that a portion of APN 056-030-028 is located on the north side of Cohasset
Road, which is not reflected in the proposed site plan.
These comments are preliminary based on the general project descriptions provided. LAFCO
will review the project in greater detail during the CEQA review process. If you have any
questions please contact me at your convenience.
