Councilmember Brown thanked Mr. Dolan for the representation and requested that he point out in Measure PP where visibility would be an issue and will be taken into consideration. The information was not readily available; however, Mr. Dolan stated that the purpose of the PP was to protect the views of the hillside and ridgeline. Ms. Brown also asked Mr. Dolan if the area over the culvert is a bridge, to which Mr. Dolan explain that culvert and bridges are not the same. A culvert is installed to hold a creek bank back. It does require a permit and engineering. Councilmember Brown also asked if the culvert that is being proposed to cross Sunset Creek will be over a 100 feet of a ridge, to which Mr. Dolan indicated that part of it will be. Councilmember Brown asked Mr. Dolan to confirm that the culvert retaining walls exceed the structure definition of 3 feet. Mr. Dolan explained that the preliminary design of the walls will be at 10 feet. Councilmember Brown asked if there was any discussion regarding other access roads that could be taken under consideration prior to the staff and EIR report? Mr. Dolan stated that suggestions were made and discussed regarding issues PP that could be avoided if there was a different access road. Mr. Dolan, showed a graphic of a road that is adjacent to the Lund Ranch property. Councilmember Brown also asked if the top Lot 32 is an area that should be protected. Mr. Dolan replied that it would be up to Council interpretation, although he can argue the point either way. Councilmember Narum asked who would be responsible for maintaining the open space to which Mr. Dolan replied that the city would be responsible. Councilmember Narum also asked if lots 37 through 39 were house free, what it would look like. Would the lot be left as is or would it require retaining walls? Mr. Dolan replied that there would be an open space that would be separated from the rest of the area by retaining walls due to the fact that there would be lots that were proposed near the area where grading is allowed to make them good lots. Councilmember Brown asked if the creek could be left to flow where it is. Mr. Dolan felt the regulators agencies would have a lot to stay about it and he believed they will be required to improve it and make it more natural and have more biological value.
