7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS <br />a. Supervisor Scott Haggerty’s offer of $6 million for the extension of <br />Stoneridge Drive <br />Mr. Dolan stated that this item is in response to a question posed by Commissioner <br />O’Connor at a previous meeting. Commissioner O’Connor had indicated that there was <br />a public discussion on Staples Ranch at which Supervisor Haggerty was quoted to <br />committing $6 million to the Staples Ranch project for the purpose of constructing the <br />bridges. Mr. Dolan explained that as part of the development agreement, the County <br />will construct the bridges at the estimated cost of $6 million. He indicated that there is <br />no cash transaction involved. <br />Commissioner O’Connor inquired whether or not this was tied only to if the four-lane <br />proposal is built and not the single or constricted lane. <br />Mr. Dolan replied that he knew of no such restrictions on that. <br />Commissioner Pentin stated that he remembers being at a Chamber of Commerce <br />function where Supervisor Haggerty was the keynote speaker, who made the claim that <br />he has a $6 million check in his pocket if Staples Ranch was put through. <br />Chair Olson indicated that he remembers this as well. <br />Mr. Dolan stated that there is a very long agreement for the project, and the agreement <br />identifies who is paying for what. He noted that the $6 million is part of the County’s <br />share in that agreement. <br />b. Status of the half-built house at 6356 Inspiration Terrace (Serenity at <br />Callippe). <br />Mr. Dolan stated that this item responds to a question from Commissioner Pentin. <br />Mr. Dolan noted that the property is currently in foreclosure, and the house is half-built. <br />He indicated that the property has had a Code Enforcement case on it for some time. <br />He added that it is in violation of several aspects of the property maintenance <br />ordinance, and staff took it up to the point where hazards were removed. <br />Mr. Dolan indicated that to pursue violations under that particular code is difficult, given <br />the status of the property. He noted that staff has tried to be proactive and agreed with <br />Commissioner Pentin that the situation is less than desirable. <br />Mr. Dolan further stated that staff contacted the bank that is likely to end up with the <br />property and inquired if the bank would be interested in cooperating with the City in <br />partnering with a contractor who is interested in removing the existing steel framing for <br />the value of the steel. He indicated that the bank has responded favorably, and <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, July 14, 2010 Page 6 of 8 <br /> <br />
