BUSINESS ITEMS 1. #16-08 MINOR MODIFICATION OF MAJOR SUBDIVISION SIERRA COLLEGE ESTATES (APPLICATION #14-09) APN: 030-100-017; CONTINUED FROM DECEMBER 20, 2016 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING The modification was originally heard by the Planning Commission on July 26, 2016. Concerns were brought up by the public, and the Planning Commission as to the viability of wells on the project site, and possible impacts to adjacent wells. The applicant requested an indefinite continuance so as to respond to these issues and concerns, and to work further with the Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) as to obtaining water During the last six months he has discussed options with PCWA as to project costs and funding options. Unfortunately PCWA is unable to reduce their costs, which are uneconomical for a subdivision of only seven lots. A reimbursement agreement has not proven viable, as possible beneficiaries have declined to participate. The proposed request is to allow private wells rather than public water as previously required by the Planning Commission on January 27, 2015. In addition, the applicant is requesting a one year extension of the expiration date of the subdivision approval from January 27, 2017 to January 27, 2018.
