<br />- <br /> <br />thirty-four would be located on the City's site. The public golf course, open space areas, <br />and special status species areas were shown on the Tentative Maps. <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson noted that these properties, as well as some others in the area, are completing <br />their armexation process with the City. The first armexation attempt was not completed, <br />but a second, more limited, one was approved by LAFCO and should take effect by the <br />end of September. He described the public infrastructure, and noted that there would be <br />storm water detention ponds, emergency vehicle access ways, and water and sewer lines. <br />TTK would reconstruct the portions of Happy Valley Road that adjoined the site, and <br />fairly limited amounts of roadwork would be required. TTK would also participate in the <br />area-wide infrastructure funding, including the sewer pump station and the water storage <br />tank to be constructed by the City. <br /> <br />The City has obtained the necessary agency environmental permits for the development, <br />including permits that address wetlands mitigation, streambed alteration, open space <br />preservation, special status species preservation, and tree preservation. Detention basins <br />have been provided on both sites. <br /> <br />Regarding the consistency of the Tentative Map with the PUD, staff believes that TTK is <br />in substantial conformance with the PUD Development Plan. The staff report lists the <br />status ofthe PUD conditions that are addressed with the Tentative Map, and staff <br />believes they were in substantial conformance. There were minor changes to the grading <br />which staff believed resulted in improvements. <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson stated that one item that should be deferred to the Final Map would be the <br />share of the Specific Plan Improvement costs, to be initially determined with the <br />Tentative Map. Because there are third parties and properties in the North Sycamore <br />Specific Plan area that need input into this matter, it was not possible to determine those <br />costs at this time. <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson advised that there was a small reduction in the diameter of the cui de sac. <br />Staff believed this was an improvement because less paving would be required. A fire- <br />resistant landscape barrier was provided in the response to a condition of the PUD. <br /> <br />Regarding the City's portion of the project, staff believed that it was in substantial <br />conformance with the PUD. Mr. Iserson advised that as required by the PUD, the street <br />widths were reduced. <br /> <br />Staff believed that both maps were in substantial conformance with the PUD, and that the <br />Commission should take separate actions on each item. Staff recommended approval of <br />both maps subject to the conditions of the staff report. <br /> <br />In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Kameny, Mr. Iserson confirmed that the map <br />is not final and recorded until LAFCO processes it, and the armexation takes place. <br /> <br />,.-- <br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br /> <br />August 28, 2002 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br />
