r- PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED COMMENTS FROM THE APPLICANT Phil Rowe, 2552 Stanwell Drive, Suite 203, Concord, represented the applicant. He advised that they spoke with Mr. Grubstrick and Mr. Jost today and were able to resolve many of the items which they were concerned about. He referred to Condition #21 which requires the developer to provide a sewer extension to the Pietronanve property, and requested that this condition be deleted. He stated that the Public Works Department agreed. Mr. Grubstick acknowledged that they would agree to this. Commissioner Arkin asked if the Pietronaves know that this is being deleted. Mr. Grubstick stated that he does not know ifthey were aware of the original condition. Mr. Swift also stated that he does not think that the Pietronaves knew of this requirement. Discussion ensued regarding the costs to extend and connect the sewer line. The Planning Commission also discussed including a requirement that the Pietronaves be contacted prior to deleting this condition. Mr. Rowe referred to Condition #40, which requires subdrains around all of the houses, noting that they recommend that their soils engineer review this and make a recommendation as to whether this is necessary. Mr. Grubstick advised that since these houses will be built on slabs on grade, subsurface water is not as much of an issue as it would be if there was a crawl space, but staff would like to see the recommendations of the soils engineer. r- Mr. Rowe stated that Condition #2 should be clarified that with regard to Growth Management, Mr. Costas' units are "first-come, first-served." Mr. Swift advised that his recommendation is that the Costas' units remain as part of the Growth Management approval for the Vineyard Corridor. Mr. Heaton advised that Deleo's application for Growth Management did not include the Costas lots. In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Maas, Mr. Rowe indicated that the applicant is in agreement with the other modifications to the conditions of approval discussed by the Planning Commission and staff. Commissioner Arkin questioned Deleo's anticipated timing for developing its project given the current economic situation. Mr. Rowe advised that they are meeting weekly with Greenbriar and Centex. He advised that staff has agreed to allow the improvement plans for Vineyard Avenue to be reviewed by an outside plan-checker, and the developers have hired numerous outside consultants to work on the infrastructure portion of the project to move it along. Mr. Heaton commented that the Delco, Centex, and Greenbriar projects are all tied together. Mr. Rowe stated that there is a big problem in that Centex has not received approval. Commissioner Arkin stated that he wants the school to go in and he is concerned that if one of the developers backs out it would prevent the school from being built. Dan Costas, 2503 Vineyard A venue, stated that he wants to be able to sell his lots, and requested that the requirement in Condition #6 be modified to refer to the issuance of building permits. - PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 25, 2001 Page 8
