Ron MacMaster Minor Subdivision (MS2502) APN 131-020-039

Ron MacMaster, Sharon Tweeten, and Donald Scott Henderson, joint tenant owners, have submitted an application for a minor subdivision of a ~40-acre parcel located on the south side of Highway 199 in Gasquet, CA. The proposal would divide the existing parcel into two parcels: proposed Lot 1, consisting of approximately 6.7 acres on the eastern portion of the property, and proposed Lot 2, consisting of approximately 32 acres on the western portion. Access to the parcel is currently provided via a right-of-way off Valley View Dr. The existing parcel is developed with a single-family residence and a detached shop, both located in the northwestern portion of the site on relatively flat terrain at the base of a slope. The parcel rises steeply to the south and consists largely of mountainous terrain. The parcel has split zoning, with approximately two-thirds zoned R1A (Residential and Agricultural- one-acre minimum) and the remaining one-third zoned C-2 (Light Commercial), which is located adjacent to Highway 199. The General Plan Land Use Designations include Rural Residential 1du/acre (flat portion of the parcel) and is approximately 2 acres, Rural Residential 1du/5acres (mountainous portion of the parcel) approximately 25 acres, and Visitor Serving Commercial (adjacent to Hwy 199) approximately 12 acres. Two watercourses traverse the property: a small unnamed Class II watercourse flowing northwest through the parcel, and Mary Creek, a Class II drainage channel that running parallel to Highway 199. A small pond containing minnows is located within a cutoff portion of the Mary Creek drainage channel. Portions of the parcel are located with an AE flood zone Regulatory Floodway and flood zone X (0.2% annual chance flood hazard). Soil testing for proposed lot 2 was conducted outside of the mapped flood zones. Should future development be proposed within flood-prone areas, it will be required to comply with the County’s Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, including requirements for elevation certificates and construction above base flood elevation Proposed Lot 2 will be accessed through a proposed modified subdivision road improvement standard that will extend from the existing 30-foot right-of-way between Valley View Drive and the current parcel. The project area is served by on-site sewage disposal and wells. Soil testing for proposed Lot 2 indicated suitable conditions for on-site wastewater disposal. Based on soil characteristics, percolation testing was not necessary.
