Mr. Ekern referred to drainage concerns related with this property, noting the consultant has offered several designs, which will be to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, indicating the water will be taken ultimately into state right-of-way and into their drainage facilities, and shall no longer traverse onto Priscilla. With regard to concerns over City Engineer's comments and recommendations for the subdivision, Mr. Ekern informed Commission the Municipal Code mandates a wide range of requirements for subdivisions, noting as yet no specific road designs are submitted, and are not required until improvement plan stage, which will be approved by the City Engineer. Mr. Ekern discussed sanitary sewer installation; fire department re- quirements and concerns; pathway requests and emergency access. Commissioner Jones asked if staff could give Commission a definition of Conservation Easement and the deed restrictions proposed to pro- tect the woodland areas. Commissioner Patmore questioned why the Conservation Easement was not continued along the top of lot #32• Chairman Kaufman noted the Fire Department has asked to be allowed to do some weed abatement within some areas of the Conservation Ease- ment. The Public Hearing was then opened. Chairman Kaufman questioned the applicant over access to the Daiwa property, noting access to the property with this proposal is made virtually impossible. Mr. Russ Carter, Applicant, informed Commission they currently have contract with Daiwa Property for possible subdivision, noting they are aware of the access concern raised. Mr. Bob Saxe, Attorney for applicant, informed Commission he is here with Mr. Carter to bring to focus our presentation, noting we have worked long and hard with staff and neighbors on this proposed sub- division, noting we essentially agree with some of the conditions of approval recommended by staff in the staff report, noting concern over the following: Condition #24, we have concerns over lots 8 & 12 construction of a wall prior to the final map recordation; Condi- tion #26.1 & 26.2 regarding window requirements, noting they want the option as spelled out on page 11 to have the ability to use thick glass and be able to open the windows, as the people who have to live in the house should be able to decide; Condition #31 & 32, we agree with areas designated as Conservation Easement, however, we do have concerns over Lot #15, asking if it could be included into Condition #34.5 instead; and Condition #39, we have been discussing this condi- tion with Frank Gillio, City Attorney, noting we would like to ad- dress this issue prior to City Council action. Mr. Saxe requested a policy for Conservation Easements, which would allow Fire Department access for weed abatement, etc. Planning Cannission Minutes - August 31, 1988 Page Six Mr. Walt Gregorwich, Priscilla Lane, informed Commission there are still a couple of years left on the Williamson Act Contract, noting the applicant should look into problems on the property before con- tract is removed, i.e., traffic - there is a need to re -open old road which was previously closed by Mr. Neary; noise - referred to Caltrans report prepared 15 years ago with regard to mitigation measures for properties along I-280, noting he does agree with idea of constructing wall prior to recordation of final map, also suggest- ing a berm be installed and planted heavily to help eliminate some of the pollution from I-280. Mr. Gregorwich also noted the culvert should be open an open concrete culvert with regard to drainage, a permanent culvert should be installed and direct to I-280. Mrs. Dot Schreiner, 14301 Saddle Mountain Drive, Pathway Committee, informed Commission of requested pathways which have been discussed with the applicant but are not shown on the tentative map, reminding Commission of discussion from last weeks hearing on the Draft EIR for Quarry Hills property and the need for pathways to reach open space areas. Mr. Bob Stutz, 25310 Elena Road, Pathway Committee, referred to path- way needed adjacent to I-280, noting concern over existing wet areas, and known drainage problems, indicating there would be a need for pathway (10' easement) to meander with a bridge or culvert. Mr. Russ Carter spoke to Commission with regard to pathway requests, noting we've met with Pathway Committee and property owners on Pris- cilla Lane, indicating there is very little interest to havae a path- way along Priscilla, noting between lots 1 & 12, there is good acces and could allow pathway to meander along freeway within the west lands and also within the interior circular loop in the proposed sub- division. Mr. Carter noted there is an existing pathway along Stonebrook in front of Kava property and we could continue the ease- ment if made a condition. Mrs. Fran Stevenson, 26989 Beaver Lane, informed Commission all path- ways being requested around the proposed subdivision are part of the Master Pathway Plan. Mrs. Carol Gottlieb, 24290 Summerhill Avenue, asked Commission to consider a pathway which would lead out to the Town owned property, noting this would be a wonderful access to the town property which has a beautiful meadow area. Mrs. Betsy Bertrum. 11854 Page Mill Road, questioned allow floor area and development area on lot #14. Ms. Zeff referred to staff report for allowed floor and development area calculations. Dr. Saah, 12000 Stonebrook Drive, asked that his views not be dis- turbed or obstructed, and obtain property to remain in open space. Dr. Saah also noted concerns over existing soil conditions and com- ments made by the Town Geologist. Dr. Sash informed Commission he is currently under negotiation with Bay Area Consultants over property line. Plannvg-Cormdssion Minutes - August 31, 1988 Page Seven Commissioner Carico questioned Dr. Sash if he wished to be included t in subdivision? Dr. Sash indicated he sees no reason to be in - 1+ cluded. Chairman Kaufman noted if the 2 lots are included into sub- division, then sanitary sewer, water, utilities will be readily available. Leona Davila, 12001 Stonebrook Drive, also informed Commission they do not wish to part of the subdivision. Ms. Zeff informed Commission and public the advantage to these two lots being inlcuded into the subdivision, is that these two lots were formed under conditional certificates and currently non -conforming, by being included into this subdivision the lots would be conforming. Mr. Dennis Holliwedel, 12360 Priscilla Lane, informed Commission Mr. Carter has been very cooperative with neighbors, but noted concern over drainage from the subdivision. Mrs. Lila Levinson, Dawson Drive, informed Commission we are not in favor of the pathway committee request for pathway across emergency access road between my property and neighbor, noting we were never told there would be a trail over the access road and we paid and in- stalled the access road ourselves. Mr. John Hettinger, 12370 Priscilla Lane, informed Commission the pathway referred to by Mrs. Levinson is a very important link to the Town's trail system. The Public Hearing was then closed. Ms. Zeff informed Commission of the need for clarification on a couple of items mentioned during the public hearing, with regard to the installation of noise barriers being installed prior to final map recordation is to see how well noise is mitigated with the installa- tion prior to construction of any residences, then we can study after the installation and see how much more mitigation measures would be necessary for cnstruction. With regard to allowed uses within the Conservation Easements, Ms. Zeff noted generally we do not allow grading within the easement, we do allow removal of poison oak, noting property with a slope of 30% or more would be dedicated to open space, and areas with woodlands, vegetation. Ms. Zeff noted pathways are proposed as part of the tentative map, and referred to conditions of approval recommended in the August 25, 1988 staff report, noting they are within in the road right-of-way, noting gen- erally pathways are not allowed within Conservation Easements./ Commissioners, pathway committee members, applicant and staff dis- cussed proposed location of requested pathways, noting concern over pathways constructed within conservation easement which could add to erosion problems, noting also maintenance and manpower over steeper requested pathway easements. Commissioner Carisco questioned pos- sible connection to Magdalena. Mr. Ekern informed Commisison they do not own that area, and follows to County. Planning Commission Minutes - August 31, 1988 Page Eight Commissioner Patmore asked staff for follow up on road closures. Mr. Ekern informed Commission this is in the County, not Town property, private property, private road. Chairman Kaufman suggested staff in- vestigate as part of the Quarry Hills review. Discussion over certification of EIR. Commissioner Carico noted concern over traffic on Stonebrook, asking who will be responsible for the intersection Stonebrook/E1 Monte, widening, etc. Commissioner Carico noted the applicant for McCulloch should not be responsible for brunt of traffic concerns, however, there are times when there is back up, adding the EIR does not ade- quate address this issue, referring to report previously supplied by Mr. Gay Pang (traffic analysis) from Adobe Creek property project reviewed by Commission last year which indicated further problems down E1 Monte. Commissioner Carico also noted safety concerns over pathway on Stonebrook, asking if there is a 60' right-of-way. Mr.Ekern indicated yes there is a 60' right-of-way, however, some of the land is cliffs. Commissioner Patmore noted she did not feel the Final EIR is ade- quate, referring to Noise analysis and recommended mitigation measures. Commissioner Patmore noted she felt the same treatment which occured on the Currie subdivison is appropriate. Commissioner Patmore also noted concern that Caltrans has asked for analysis on ramp project, and the EIR suggests there are no back-ups, noting ex- isting traffic problems in this area, based on concerns such as kw these the EIR is not adequate and would have problems with the pro- ject on that ground. Commissioner Patmore noted if there is a resolution on the installation of the wall prior to final map recor- dation for noise mitigation, then the EIR is adequate, however, there is still concern over traffic issues. Mr. Ekern noted there is temporary back up, with signals and peak traffic hours, noting no overall loss of service is addressed in EIR. Commissioner Emling supported Commissioner Patmore with regard to traffic concerns, asking what impact will this subdivision have on Stonebrook and E1 Monte Roads. Commissioner Emling questioned how staff arrived at recommending certification of the EIR with regard to traffic. Ms. teff informed Commission Mr. Ekern and myself had concerns at the Administrative Draft EIR level with regard to traffic, noting their concerns have been addressed in the Final FIR. Mr. Ekern informed Commission we have received additional information with regard to our earlier concerns over traffic, noting he has also stalked with Mr. Dean from EIP, noting current roadways are adequate and will be able to handle additional traffic. Commissioner Stutz noted there will definately be more traffic on Stonebrook, suggesting the Commission send on to the City Council the EIR with our concerns over traffic and noise. Planning Commission Minutes - August 31, 1988 Page Nine Commissiner Noel noted there is always back up of traffic during peak hours (early morning and evenings), noting soon there will be stop lights regulating the flow of traffic onto 280, also suggesting as did Commissioner Stutz that we send this EIR on to the City Council with our comments and concerns. With regard to noise, Commissioner Noel referred to the Dawson subdivison where the houses are much closer to the freeway, asking what requirements were placed on these lots for construction. MOTION SECONDED AND WITHDRAWN: Moved by Kaufman, seconded by Jones that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council certify the FIR for the Lands of McCulloch, with concerns over two areas of deficiency: 1)adequacy of traffic study and mitigation measures, and 2) noise study on specific mitigation measures for the site.
