STAFF REPORT TO AMADOR COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FOR MEETING OF TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 2009
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE -FOLLOWUP ON ITEMS REFERRED TO THE PLANNING
COMMISSION FOR FURTHER REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION
At the November 20, 2008 session ofthe serial Joint Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors meeting several issues were referred to the Planning Commission for further discussion and review. The Planning Commission held a meeting over two days to consider those items. At the end ofthat meeting the Planning Commission made the following recommendations to the Board (draft minutes, attached):
•
Recommend the Board reconvene the GPAC for the purpose ofdiscussing and developing the Economic Development Element with Agricultural policies. There was some concern on the part ofthe Commission that it might be difficult to reconvene the GPAC but it was felt that decision would be up to the Board.
•
Recommend the Board direct staff to develop the Governance Element policies in conjunction with the pertinent local agencies and jurisdictions (ACRA, ACTC, LAFCo, A W A, Cities, other JPA's). The Commission further recommended this process should be conducted in a public forum.
In an effort to keep the General Plan Update process going forward, staff proposes for the Board's consideration an alternative to these recommendations. Instead, of having these groups develop the policies it is proposed to have staff and the County's consultant develop policies to be reviewed and commented on by a stakeholders group for each element. This will give the group something to review and respond to rather than having the groups starting with nothing. Staffbelieves this will minimize the amount oftime that will be needed to complete these tasks. The composition of each stakeholder group would be set by the Board. For example, the Economic Development Element stakeholder's group might be comprised of representatives from AEDC, Farm Bureau, Farms of Amador, Chamber of Commerce, Mining Assoc., SPI, Agricultural Commissioner, RCD, County Tourism Bureau???, etc. The Governance Element group might consist of representatives from each city, and any of the agencies, local, state, and even federal, the Board feels appropriate (examples could be USFS, CalTrans, CalF ire, A W A, ACTC, ACRA, ACUSD, adjacent counties, etc.).
REQUESTED ACTION: Provide direction to staff based upon the above recommendations from the Planning Commission and staff.
Regarding the other matters before the Commission, after receiving input from community members and city representatives, the Commission recommended the following:
•
Town Centers -recommended this designation be applied only to River Pines, Pine Grove and Buckhorn and identified proposed boundaries for each location.
•
The alternative Urban Reserve definition that was proposed by staff was recommended for acceptance with the stipulation that staff meet with the cities' staffto further discuss their concerns as to the implementation of this designation as it relates to zoning and development. The result of that discussion is to be brought back to the February joint meeting.
•
Affordable housing sites. The Commission directed staff to look at the proposed Town Centers for potential locations and identify acreage that may be available for this use and to discuss with the cities' staff possible areas in and around the cities' spheres that may be suitable. It was also recommended the possibility of establishing a joint housing authority be discussed with the results to be brought to the February joint meeting.

STAFF REPORT TO: AMADOR COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR MEETING OF JANUARY 13,2009
Public Hearing-Appeal of Conditions of Approval No. 18 and No. 19 for Tentative Parcel Map No. 2789 by Bernard and Denise Langner proposing the division of 12.10 acres into two parcels approximately 7.09 and 5.01 acres in size (APN 021-350-010-000).
Applicant: Bernard and Denise Langner
Supervisorial District V
Location: North of Shake Ridge Road on the east side of Ponderosa Hills
Road approximately 114 mile from the intersection of Ponderosa Hills
Road and Ponderosa Way, in the Volcano area.
A. Current Zoning Designation: "RIA," Single-Family Residential and Agricultural
B. Current General Plan Designation: A-T, Agricultural -Transitional (one family per 5 acre population density).
C. Source of Water: Individual wells.
D. Sewage Disposal: Individual septic systems.
E. Background: At their meeting of November 18, 2008, the Planning Commission approved, with 25 Conditions of Approval, Tentative Parcel Map No. 2789 which proposes the division of 12.10 acres into two parcels approximately 7.09 and 5.01 acres in size.
On December 02, 2008 Robin Peters filed an appeal of Conditions of Approval No. 18 and No. 19, on behalf of Bernard and Denise Langner. These conditions require Ponderosa Hills Road be improved to a local road standard, pursuant to Chapter 17.90 of the County Code.
Section 17.90.050 footnote B states "When a single parcel (where it is obvious that the road is not going to be continued on) is being split out of a large parcel, the road requirements shall be a driveway with a thirty-foot right-ai-way and not other improvements will be required except for the driveway approach." The appellant contends that this exception which exempts improvements in certain circumstances would apply to this Parcel Map.
The appellant's proposed alternative is to meet the requirements of Section 17.90.050 footnote B and provide for minimum fIre and life safety ingress and egress by improving Ponderosa Hills Road from its encroachment with Shake Ridge Road to the northwest property comer of Parcel 2B-l and 2B-2 to 18 feet wide, paved, with paved turnouts spaced no greater than 400 feet apart (see attached letter of appeal).
F. Response to Appeal: As noted in the January 06, 2009 memo from the Public Works Agency, Public Works, with the concurrence of AFPD have agreed to the revisions
proposed by Mr. Peters. However, Public Works recommends that the references to County Code Section i 7.90 be removed since the proposed improvements would meet Chapter 15.30 standards. Additionally, Public Works recommends that turnarounds be spaced every 1320 feet and the driveway access on Parcel2B-2 shall meet Chapter 15.30 requirements for a single driveway. Ifthe Board of Supervisors agrees with the appellant and Public Works, Condition No. 18 and No. 19 would read as follows:
18.
Submit street and drainage improvement plans, prepared by a Registered Civil Engineer, in accordance with County Code Chapter 15.30 for Ponderosa Hills Road from its encroachment with Shake Ridge Road to the northwest property corner ofParcel 2R-l; thence easterly along the Private Access Road running along the northern property line of Parcels 2R-l and 2R-2 to the point of divergence of the private driveway for Parcel2R-2 and 18680 Ponderosa Hills Road (APN 021-350-028) terminating in a 50 foot radius cui de sac bulb/hammerhead turnaround to the following requirements: 50 foot right-ol-way; two (2) 9-foot wide travel lanes of rolled and compacted Class II aggregate' base 3 inches thick minimum; paved turnarounds spaced no greater than 1,320 feet apart or as otherwise directed by the Amador Fire Protection District and/or Department ofPublic Works. All right-ol-ways to be curvilinear.
19.
Construct street and drainage improvements in accordance with County Code Sections 12.08 and 17.90 for Ponderosa Hills Roadfrom its encroachment with Shake Ridge Road to the northwest property corner ofParcel 2R-l; thence easterly along the Private Access Road running along the northern property line ofParcels 2R-1 and 2R-2 to the point ofdivergence ofthe private driveway for Parcel 2R-2 and 18680 Ponderosa Hills Road (APN 021-350-028) terminating in a 50 foot radius cui de sac bulb/hammerhead turnaround to the following requirements: 50 foot right-ol-way; two
(2) 9-foot wide travel lanes of rolled and compacted Class II aggregate base 3 inches thick minimum; paved turnarounds spaced no greater than 1,320 feet apart or as otherwise directed by the Amador Fire Protection District and/or Department ofPublic Works. All right-ol-ways to be curvilinear. Note: construction staking is required and shall be the responsibility ofthe subdivider.
G. Board Actions: After hearing from staff and the public the Board may take one of the following actions:
1.
Deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commissions decisions to apply Condition No. 18 and No. 19 as approved;
2.
If the Board wishes to grant the appeal and modify Condition No.18 and No. 19, the Board may only indicate their intent to grant the appeal and direct staff to prepare an environmental document that reflects the modifications to Condition No. 18 and No. 19. The environmental document will then be re-posted and surrounding landowners notified. The Board will then consider the new environmental document at a future public hearing.

Re: Langner ParcelMap No. 2789 Appeal of Conditions of Approval
Dear Members of the Board of Sup.eNisors,
Please accept for processing this appeal of Parcel Map No. 2789 conditions of approval nos. 18 and 19 which prescribe road.improvements.for the, project.
The Langner property is approximately 12 acres in size and is located on Ponderosa Hills Road near Daffodil Hill. Ponderosa Hills, Road is approximately 2,000 feet in length and seNes 11 existing parcels including the 12-acre Langner property. The project divides the property to create a .ingle 5"acre parcel which would gain acces~ near the end of Ponderosa Hills Road. The Langner property is the only remaining liitrge parCel in the region; all surrounding properties have long since been re-subdivided into 5z-.acre parcels.
The Planning Commission unanimously a'pproved the parcel map on November 18, 2008. Conditions of approval nos. '18 & 19 require re-constructlon of approximately 2,060 lineal feet of existing Ponderosa Hills Road to local road standards pursuant to County Code Chapter 17.90. However, a provision of Chapter 17.90 exempts improvements in certain circumstances by stating "When a single parcel (where it is obvious that the road is not going to be continued on) is being split out of a large parcel, the road requirements shall be a driveway with a thirty-foot right-of-way and no other improvements will be required except for the driveway approach".
This office has met with the Public Works and Planning Departments, County Counsel, and the Amador Fire Protection District·to discuss roadway improvement requirements for the Langner map. The general consensus appears to be that the County Code section cited.above may be subject to interpretation and, as it applies to the Langer case, does not clearly delineate whether any improvements are required, much less what those improvements should be.
The reality is that re-construction of Ponderosa Hills Road to local road standards could not be physically accomplished without securing significant exceptions from current County Code and, in any case, the cost of such improvements would far exceed the value of the single parcel created. To resolve the dispute and simultaneously provide for minimum fire and life safety ingress and egress, we are proposing that conditions of approval nos. 18 and 19 be replaced with the following:

AMADOR COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION
SUMMARY MINUTES OF TAPE RECORDED MEETING
NOVEMBER 18, 2008 -7:00 P.M. Page 3 of8
Ms. Anderson stated that it was possible for the Commission to allow an extension to begin the traffic study.
Commissioner Gonsalves stated that would be a good idea ifthe easement is correct.
In response to Commissioner Wardall's question, Mr. Morlan stated the AWA access is 30' and the easement he is showing is 60' wide.
Commissioner Wardall expressed concerns about one-way in and one-way out.
Greg Gillott, Deputy County Counsel, cautioned the Commission against denying the project based on the concerns of a looped road. Staff has recommended denial based on lack ofactivity and that is what the Commission should be addressing.
Commissioner Gonsalves stated that it is an uncertain time economically and as long as an extension does not cost the county money, he would be willing to extend the project 6-12 months; he understood there are issues to be resolved but has no problem granting more time.
Commissioner Tober agreed with Commissioner Gonsalves but would like to limit the time to six months.
Commissioner Ryan stated that piecemeal financing is a concern. It did not appear that much has happened now due to financing and understands the constraints the applicant has.
Chairman Byrne stated that the activity is less than what he'd like to see on a project.
Commissioner Ryan asked Mr. Gillott if what has been submitted constitutes activity. Mr. Gillott stated that it was subjective.
Motion: Itwas moved by Commissioner Ryan, seconded by Commissioner Tober and approved to grant a six month
extension with a traffic study to be delivered at that time. Ayes: Commissioner Ryan; Commissioner Tober; Commissioner Gonsalves; Commissioner Wardall Noes: Chairman Byrne

Heather Anderson, Planner II, summarized the staffreport, which is hereby incorporated into these minutes as though set forth in full.
Robin Peters, Cal State Engineering and owner's representative, stated that he reviewed the staff report and
Conditions ofApproval but does not agree with the proposed road conditions. Mr. Peters stated that based on Note 3
ofChapter 17.90 he felt the road improvements should be limited to the easement that is on the northern property line
ofthe proposed project.
AMADOR COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY MINUTES OF TAPE RECORDED MEETING NOVEMBER 18, 2008 -7:00 P.M. Page 4 018
Commissioner Ryan asked about the other easement shown to the north ofthe project. Mr. Peters stated there is a question ifthe northern easement still exists; the easement does not affect this project because there is a later easement shown on the map that provides the access for the proposed parcel.
Commissioner Ryan asked how access happened. Mr. Peters stated the existing driveway is shown and the proposed parcel would access offthe easterly end ofPonderosa Hills Rd with the building site possibly being located in the northeastern section ofthe property.
Betty Schlagel, neighbor, has a deed from January 28, 1977 that abandoned the northern easement.
Ms. Grijalva stated the abandonment process needs to happen for the northerly easement to be removed, however it does not affect this project; the deeded southerly easement is the easement that is being addressed tonight.
Larry Peterson, Public Works Director, stated that Condition 20 has a typographical error; it should read "covering Ponderosa Hills Road" instead of Havens Way. Mr. Peterson stated that Public Works asked that all of Ponderosa Hills Rd. be improved according to Chapter 17.92.020B standards which states that "The access roads shall be improved for the same length and to the same standards as required for the roads within the parcel map of subdivision." Mr. Peterson stated that Note 3 Mr. Peters refers to only applies to the access drive for proposed Parcel 2B-2.
Commissioner Tober asked how wide the existing roads are; Mr. Peters stated the existing roads were approximately 14' wide.
Mr. Peters stated that Chapter 17.92 speaks to entitled dedications and that Mr. Peterson read a section from "offer for dedication" and that chapter does not address road conditions; Chapter 17.90 deals with road standards. Mr. Peters stated that Ponderosa Hills Rd does not meet current 15.3 0 standards; the owner is willing to bring the road up to
15.30 standards for fire and life safety requirements and is willing to improve the intersection as needed at Shake RidgelPonderosa Hills. Mr. Peters stated the owner does not want to reconstruct the entire road, it would be impossible due to the easements available; within the existing ROW it is impossible to bring the road up to the local road standards.
Mr. Peterson stated the Mr. Peters is right that the conditions ask for an "offer for dedication." Mr. Peterson stated that minimum improvements to be 15.30 standards would be acceptable to Public Works if the commission is inclined to grant the request.
Commissioner Gonsalves asked Mr. Peterson if it is impossible to improve the road to the local road standards. Mr. Peterson has not made a study in order to know. Mr. Peterson stated that it is possible to grant design exceptions during the process when there is ajustifiable reason to do so.
Chairman Byrne stated that the last person to divide gets hit with the hardest requirements. Commissioner Ryan asked ifthis is a real sticking point or is 15.30 an acceptable alternative.
Mr. Gillott stated that in the past Public Works has made minor changes; ifChapter 17.90 applies then all ofChapter
17.90 applies and Public Works and Planning Commission may not have authority to waive the requirements of Chapter 17.90. When codes conflict the most recently enacted code would apply; that means Chapter 15.30 would be the most recent code to apply; in order for the applicant's request be granted the Commission must find that Note 3 exempts the project from Chapter 17.90 and Chapter 15.30 is the ruling code to use.
