DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors approved the Saratoga Estates Tentative Subdivision Map (TM14-1520), a 317-lot residential subdivision ranging in size from 5,972 square feet to 23,516 square feet, on September 13, 2016 (Exhibit D). An administrative minor revision to the map, involving site layout modifications, was approved by the Planning Director on January 21, 2017 (Exhibit E). A finding of consistency with the administrative minor revision to the map was approved by the Planning Director on August 22, 2017 (Exhibit F). A second administrative revision to the map, which added the phasing plan and re-configured open space and landscaping lots, was approved by the Planning Director on March 15, 2019 (Exhibit G). A large-lot Final Map is anticipated to be approved on February 11, 2020, prior to consideration of the Village 1A Final Map (Exhibit H).
The Final Map would create 80 residential lots, 1 future development lot, and 5 lettered lots, ranging in size from 0.06 acres to 7.75 acres on a 25.426-acre portion of property identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 120-070-020 (Exhibit C). The Final Map conforms to the second administrative revision to the Saratoga Estates Tentative Subdivision Map approved by the Planning Director on March 15, 2019 (Exhibit F). Subsequent Final Maps for the remaining portions of the Saratoga Estates Tentative Subdivision Map will be processed under separate applications.
Exhibit I details the verification of the Final Map for conformance with the approved Conditions of Approval for the Saratoga Estates Tentative Subdivision Map. County departments and affected outside agencies, including the Department of Transportation, the Surveyor's Office, and the El Dorado Hills Fire Department, have recommended approval of the map. A meter award letter from El Dorado Irrigation District has been secured for public water and sewer services for the subdivision (Exhibit H). The Subdivision Improvement Agreement, including associated bonds, has been approved by the Department of Transportation for the Saratoga Estates Village 1A Subdivision, subject to authorization by the Board Chair.
Environmental Review: The review of the Final Map is a ministerial process and is Statutorily Exempt from environmental review under Section 15268(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
