- In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Kameny, Mr. Rasmussen noted that the second modification is a minor one. They had noticed all the property owners within 1,000 feet of the site, as well as everyone on the mailing list, on July 26, 2002. If anyone wanted to appeal the Zoning Administrator's intent to approve the modification, they should do so by August 8, 2002. No requests for an appeal were received. The next step was for the Zoning Administrator to approve it, which occurred on August 12,2002. Notice ofthat approval was sent to Plarming Commissioners and City Council members, to give them an opportunity to appeal. The City Council also received that item in the form oftwo agenda items on their Consent Calendar, and no Councilmembers chose to pull it off the Consent Calendar. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Maas, Mr. Rasmussen described how the storm water detention system was altered. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Sullivan, Mr. Rasmussen described the temporary access and noted Bypass Road. In response to Mr. Spotorno's economic and environmental concems regarding constructing that road, the City was open to looking at other altematives with the neighborhood and Mr. Spotorno. He noted that the Specific Plan called for the Bypass Road to be the single through road connector to the Golf Course and Golf Course housing. If and when the Bypass Road is constructed, the connection to Alisal Street would become an emergency vehicle access connection. - In response to Commissioner Sullivan's recollection that neither road would blocked off temporarily, Mr. Rasmussen stated that representatives from the County have expressed an interest in making a cul de sac on Happy Valley Road. The Golf Course would not open for two years, and only construction traffic would go to the site. Mr. Spotomo indicated that he would prefer an alternative road to the Bypass Road shown in the Specific Plan, and he may come forward with another altemative. The Environment Review process might study all the alternatives, including the existing Bypass Road, a Bypass Road with greater density on the Spotorno property to support the cost, or a partial Bypass Road that would connect the Golf Course site through the Spotorno flat area to Alisal Street north of Faith Chapel. He noted that a plan might be presented in the future that showed a series of alternatives. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Sullivan, Mr. Rasmussen noted that it was feasible that another plan may be approved and put in place prior to the Golf Course opening. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Sullivan, Mr. Iserson replied that the house design approval would come before the Planning Commission at a later date. The construction would be accomplished by a builder, but the City would be the applicant and the developer. - In response to an inquiry by Sullivan, Mr. Rasmussen described the wetland mitigation. Existing wetlands would be enhanced and protected with fencing. He noted that there was extensive discussion between the California Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Plarming Commission Minutes August 28, 2002 Page 5
