Rodeo - Second Street Minor Subdivision and Residential Development Plan

Rodeo - Second Street Minor Subdivision and Residential Development Plan

The applicant requests approval of a Vesting Tentative Map to subdivide an approximately 28,800 square-foot project site into four (4) parcels (“Parcel A”, “Parcel B”, “Parcel C” and “Parcel D”). The proposed vesting tentative map shows Parcels A and B each having 5,175 square feet in area, while Parcel C and Parcel D have an area of 8,050 and 10,400 square feet respectively. The project site is considered one legal lot, consisting of seven (7) assessor’s parcel numbers (APN) having a combined total area of 28,800 square feet. The project includes development plans for the construction of a single-family residence on each of the four resultant lots. The subdivision and residential development project includes the following elements: • Private Access Improvements: The subject property is bounded to the south by 2nd Street, which is a publicly maintained roadway. The vesting tentative map includes a proposed paved private roadway, providing vehicular access to each resultant parcel within a proposed 25-foot-wide private access and utility easement. The private roadway would extend northward from 2nd Street for approximately 150 linear feet, ending at the southern boundary of proposed Parcel D. • Site grading: The project requires grading on the subject property involving approximately 1,430 cubic yards of combined earthwork (720 Cut / 710 C.Y. Fill) for the proposed roadway and for preparation of the individual building pads identified on each proposed parcel. Grading activities would disturb approximately 20,000 square feet of the project site. • Site Drainage: The project is proposed on a moderate east to west slope, with storm water presently draining down an unimproved hillside towards parcels lower in elevation to the east. The stormwater control plan includes on site storm drain improvements directing run off from residential down spouts, driveways, and private roadway into one of four (4) proposed basin retention areas. Each retention area has minimum 1,500-gallon capacity and sump pump system regulating discharge. Ultimately, stormwaters collected on site would be discharged near property boundaries into an existing gutter along the 2nd Street right of way. The proposed system is designed to meter flow from the system such that post project conditions are substantially similar to pre-project conditions. • Service Connections for Utilities: All utility connections serving the subdivision would be located underground. The subject property is presently served by existing water and sanitary sewer mains located within the 2nd Street right-of-way. The project includes connection to these existing mains and extension northward within a 25-foot private access and utility easement to provide sanitary sewer and water service to the subdivision. Electrical distribution lines exist above-ground within the 2nd Street right-of-way, however, all electrical connections within the subdivision will be underground. The proposed access and utility easement includes a joint trench, where underground electrical and communication lines would be extended from the public right-of-way to establish service connections within the subdivision. • Tree Impacts: Tree permit approval is requested for the prior removal of two code protected trees shown on prior surveys of the subject property. Although the removal occurred under prior ownership of the property and the species of the trees are not known, survey data indicates that they were both of sufficient diameter (9 inches and 18 inches) to be considered code-protected, as a tree of any species exceed 6.5 inches in diameter is considered protected on vacant lots in unincorporated Contra Costa County. Additionally, site grading activities would encroach within the driplines of two Coast Live Oak trees located off-site near the northern property boundaries. Therefore, the project also includes a tree permit to legalize the prior tree removal activity, as well as for the proposed construction activities within the driplines of two Coast Live Oak trees.
