r Chairperson Maas moved to approve Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map 7162 as recommended by staff, subject to the Draft Conditions of Approval. A condition would be added regarding Green Building, and the addition ofPV conduits. A condition would alert City Council to aggressively work on a serious solution to the Bypass Road, rather than a temporary fix. There was no second. The motion did not carry. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Kameny, Mr. Rasmussen replied that the utilities would be extended the full length of Alisal Street in order for the application to stand by itself without the golf course parcel. Chairperson Kameny moved to deny Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map 7162 until such time as there were suitable studies completed for an access road. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion. - Commissioner Sullivan noted that his second applied to the golf course, and added that he struggled with Finding # I. He noted that the spirit of the Specific Plan was that the access road be in place from the beginning of the project. He noted that it was important for the City to make an access road possible that did not impact the neighbors negatively. He noted that two reasons to move ahead were the economic concerns of the applicant, and the possible expiration of the permit. He understood the neighbors' concerns, and that they did not want to lose the rural character of the area. He believed this project was better than what the alternatives could be if something was developed by the County. He noted that the establishment of a southern boundary would limit urban growth. He believed that ultimately, this plan was a good one, and believed the temporary access road could be explored. Commissioner Kameny advised that he did not have a problem with the project itself, and he liked the golf course idea. He did not wish to preclude the owners from developing their property, and had a problem with the lack of a bypass road. He believed it was important for staff to think outside the box on this project regarding the bypass road. Mr. Rasmussen recommended that the Commission take action on the item tonight, and that a condition may be added that a study be implemented with a six to nine month time limit. He noted that a denial may terminate the plan, and negate the many years of work on its development with the contractors and the property owners. A discussion of the time limits ofthe project and the Bypass Road ensued. Mr. Rasmussen advised that the project is consistent with the wording of the Specific Plan, particularly regarding the Bypass Road and the temporary access. He noted that page 49 of the Specific Plan stated that early construction of the Bypass Road was a high priority. He read the specific text addressing this issue. He suggested that the project was consistent with that wording, and that the findings can be made.
