of the project mitigation requirements.
The proposed development shall pay drainage fees pursuant to the Drainage Fee Ordinance
prior to approval of the final map at the rates in effect at the time of such approval. The fee
indicated above is based on the tentative map.Contact the FMFCD project engineer prior to
approval of the final map for the fee.
Considerations which may affect the fee obligation(s)or the timirig or form of fee payment:
a) Fees related to undeveloped or phased portions of the project may be deferrable.
b} Fees may be calculated based on the actual percentage of runoff if different than that
typical for the zone district under which the development is being undertaken and if
permanent provisions are made to assure that the site remains in that configuration.
c) Master Plan storm drainage facilities may be constructed, or required to be
constructed in lieu of paying fees.
d) The actual cost incurred in constructing Master Plan drainage system facilities is
credited against the drainage fee obligation.
e} When the actual costs incurred in constructing Master Plan facilities exceeds the
drainage fee obligation, reimbursement will be made for the excess costs from
future fees collected by the District from other development.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
EXHIBIT NO. 2
The cost of construction of Master Plan facilities,excluding dedication of storm drainage easements,
is eligible for credit against the drainage fee of the drainage area served by the facilities. A
Development Agreement shall be executed with the District to effect such credit. Reimbursement
provisions, in accordance with the Drainage Fee Ordinance, will be included to the extent that
developer's Master Plan costs for an individual drainage area exceed the fee of said area. Should the
facilities cost for such individual area total less than the fee of said area,the difference shall be paid
upon demand to the City/County or District.
The Drainage Area "SM" drainage fee identified on this notice has been computed at a rate
corresponding to an R-1 zoning with 50%lot coverage. This drainage fee rate allows the developer
the flexibility to develop the tract utilizing the maximum density allowed by the City of Fresno's
adoption of Variety Pac No.3. Should the developer desire to develop the tract in a manner that has
lot coverage below this density,actual lot coverage densities showing reduced lot coverage must be
-provided to the District prior to submittal of improvement plans. The final drainage fee will be
calculated commensurate with the lot coverage provided by the developer. The lot coverage
calculated by the District includes a front yard walkway,a side yard walkway and a rear yard patio
equaling an additional 5% of impervious area in addition to the City's typical lot coverage
calculation.
The District requires that the developer of Tract 5913 provide a stub street to the east to allow for
surface drainage from Tentative Tract 5464 to reach the future Master Plan inlets to be located within
Tract 5913, and also to allow for conveyance of major storm flows from the east.

RE: Tentative Tract Map.5913
-Dear Mr. Braun:
In response to the request for comments on the referenced project, the District submits the following
information'
Schools that presently serve the proposed project are John Wash School (K-6), Washington Academic
Middle School (7-8), and Sanger High Schaal (9-12). Please be advised that with the District's
increasing enrollment, there is no guarantee that students generated by the project will be served by the
listed schools. If a school is overcrowded at one or more grade levels, students who would otherwise
attend that school may be transferred to another school.
In accordance with Section 65995(b)of the California Government Code, the maximum development fees
that a school can charge are currently $2.97 per square foot for residential development. The current fee
of$2.97 per square for residential development is not.sufficient to cover the full cost of providing school
facilities to students from new residential development and is subject to change.
For the construction of new facilities,the District must seek funding from the State of California Office of
_. Public.School Construction. .Funding-is based on the District's eligibility status at the time of application_
and is dependent upon the availability of State Building Funds.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at(559) 875-6521.

Dear Mr. Braun:
We have reviewed the rezone,-.map,and•Traffic Impact Study(TIS) for the 109-lot single-family
residential-development proposed for the east side of South Armstrong Avenue between East
Hamilton Avenue and the East California Avenue alignment. Caltrans has the following
comments:
Caltrans finds the trip generation/trip distribution in the TTS satisfactory.
Figure 7 of the TIS indicates that 5 trips from.this site would impact the State Route (SR) 99
northbound off-ramp to Jensen Avenue during the evening peak travel periods. The northbound .
off-ramp to Jensen Avenue will likely require an additional turn-lane. The TIS identifies a fair
share for this project to mitigate for cumulatively significant-impacts to the State Highway

Dear Dave Braun,
We have received your request for comments notice for Tentative Tract Map 5913.-
OUR FILE: Sanger-Malaga 115KV Pole line
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Tentative Tract Map No.
5913, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) owns and operates an electric -
transmission wood pole line located within the proposed project's boundaries. To
promote the safe and reliable maintenance and operation of utility facilities, the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has mandated specific clearance
requirements between utility facilities and surrounding objects or construction activities.
To ensure compliance with these standards, project proponents should coordinate with
PG&E early in the development of their project plans. Any proposed development
plans should provide for unrestricted utility access and prevent easement
encroachments that might impair the safe and reliable maintenance and operation of
PG&E's facilities. --
PG&E hereby requests that the locations of each transmission wood pole facilitVbe
delineated upon the map along with a reference to the recording information of the
easement document._Enclosed is a copy of that document.
Developers will be responsible for the costs associated with the relocation of
existing PG&E facilities to accommodate their proposed development:
Because facility relocation's require long lead times and are not always
feasible, developers should be encouraged to consult with PG&E as early in
their planning stages as possible.
Expansion of distribution and transmission lines and related facilities are a
necessary consequence of growth and development. In addition to adding new
distribution feeders, . the range of electric system improvements needed to
accommodate growth may include upgrading existing substation and transmission
line equipment, expanding existing substations to their ultimate buildout capacity,
and building new substations and interconnecting transmission lines. Comparable
upgrades or additions needed to accommodate additional load on the gas system
could include facilities such as regulator stations, odorizer stations, valve lots,
distribution and transmission lines.
PG&E remains committed to working with the City of Fresno to provide timely,
reliable and cost effective gas and electric service. Please contact me at 253-5157 if
you have any questions regarding our comments. We would also appreciate being
,copied on future correspondence regarding this development.

• The Fresno County Department of Public Health is concerned that abandoned water wells
are not being properly destroyed, particularly with respect to new development projects. As
city boundaries expand, community services are provided to areas originally served only by
individual domestic and agricultural wells. Improper abandonment of such wells presents a
significant risk of contaminating the city's community water supply.- For this reason, when
development occurs, it is extremely important to ensure the safe and proper destruction of
all abandoned water wells.
Prior to destruction of any existing agricultural wells), a sample of the upper most fluid in the
well column should be sampled for lubricating oil. The presence of oil staining around the
well may indicate the use of lubricating oil to maintain the well pump. Should lubricating oil
be found in the well, the oil should be removed from the well prior to placement of fill
material for destruction. The "oily water" removed from the well must be handled in
-accordance with federal, state and local government requirements. Transportation of these
materials on public roadways may require special permits and licensure.
The Department of Public Health is available to provide consultation in cooperation with your
city in order to encourage the proper destruction of wells and safeguard our water quality.
City staff may contact Ed Yamamoto, Environmental Health Specialist, Water Surveillance
Program, at (559) 445-3357 for more information.
Appropriate treasures should be incorporated into the project to minimize potentially
significant short-term localized noise impacts to noise sensitive receivers caused by the
operation of construction equipment. Construction specifications for the project should
require that all construction equipment be maintained according to the manufacturers'
specifications, and that noise generating construction equipment be equipped with mufflers.
In addition, consideration should be given to limiting noise-generating construction activities
to daytime hours as specified in your municipal code.
• The conditions as described in the "Conclusions and Recommendations" section on page
seven (7) n€ the Acoustical Analysis prepared by Brown Buntin Associates, Inc., dated May
9, 2008 should be accepted as mitigation measures for the project. Without these measures
the proposed noise sensitive receivers will be subjected to a level of noise in excess of the
City of Fresno Noise Element standards.
The following comments pertain to the demolition of the existing structures:
• Should any of these structures have an active rodent or insect infestation, then the
infestation should be abated prior to demolition of the structures in order to prevent the
spread of vectors to adjacent properties.
• In the process of demolishing the existing structures, the contractor may encounter asbestos
containing construction materials and materials coated with lead based paints.
If asbestos containing materials are encountered, contact the San Joaquin Valley Air
Pollution Control District at (559) 230-6000 for more information.
If lead based paints are suspected to have been used in these structures, then the
