Applicant appeals Advisory Agency`s denial of this project. SUPERVISOR WHEELER PRESENT AT THIS TIME MOTION: I FIND THAT THE TOPOGRAPHY IN THE AREA WILL HAVE A NATURAL LIMITING EFFECT ON THE NUMBER OF PARCELS IN THE AREA AND THERE WILL REMAIN LARGE UNDEVELOPED AREAS FOR DEER MIGRATION AND HABITAT. NO DATA HAS BEEN PRESENTED THAT SHOWS THIS PROJECT WILL INTERFERE SUBSTANTIALLY WITH THE MOVEMENT OF ANY RESIDENT OR MIGRATORY WILDLIFE. I DO NOT AGREE THAT THE CREATION OF THESE FOUR PARCELS WILL SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE WILD- LIFE HABITAT AND I HAVE TAKEN THE COMMENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME INTO CONSIDERATION IN REACHING THAT DETERMINATION. THE 10, 13 AND 20 ACRE PARCEL SIZES ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR URBAN AREAS AND, THEREFORE, ARE BEST LOCATED TN RURAL AREAS, THERE ARE OTHER PROPERTIES OF THESE SIZES IN THE AREA AND WOULD NOT BE PRECEDENT-SETTING. REASONABLE ACCESSIBILITY TO COMMERCIAL Page 55 May 10, 1983 May 10, 1983 SERVICES AND SCHOOLS IS A MATTER OF PERSONAL CHOICE AND OPINION. A DETERMINATION OF AVALLABILITY OF ADEQUATE FIRE PROTECTION FACILITIES IS, AGAIN, A MATTER OF OPINION AND PERSONAL CHOICE. I FLND THAT THE PROJECT COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT BUT WILL NOT IN THIS CASE BECAUSE MITIGATION MEASURES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE PROJECT: 1. IF AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL/HISTORICAL SURVEY IS NECESSARY, AND SIGNIFICANT CULTURAL RESOURCES ARE DISCOVERED, THE TENTATIVE MAP IS TO BE REFERRED BACK TO THE ADVISORY AGENCY FOR APPROPRIATE MITIGATION MEASURES. 2. UTILIZE STANDARD EROSION CONTROL MEASURES AND CONSTRUC- TION PRACTICES TO MINIMIZE EROSION AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS. I FIND THAT THE PROJECT CONFORMS TO THE POLICIES OF THE GENERAL PLAN AND T MOVE TO UPHOLD THE APPEAL AND APPROVE THE TENTA- TIVE PARCEL MAP FOR HENRY RUNGE, AP71-O1-84, WITH PUBLIC WORKS CONDITIONS 1 THROUGH 13 AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS 14 and 15 ON MEMO DATED MAY 5, 1983.
