The Mayor opened the public hearing. Pam Hardy, applicant, described the goals of the project, including working with the surrounding neighbors. They also wanted to provide a plan that was below the midline of the General Plan and also terminates Rose Avenue in a cul-de-sac. This project achieves a sewer and storm drain extension across the Fairgrounds which eliminates the need for a future sewer lift station. It allows for the resolution of the errant golf ball hazards. They will be adding to the vegetation in the project area and she is confident that the possibility for glare is minimal. In regard to Floor Area ratio they are in agreement with the staff's recommendations and the Planning Commission's decision. The Floor Area ratio includes non-inhabitable garage space. Councilmember Brown expressed her concern with the perpendicular lights which would affect the upstairs windows. She suggested shifting the trees to mitigate certain glare issues. The applicant stated that they would accommodate any suggestions on landscaping as long as they did not interfere with the bio retention zones. Bert Robarts stated he had also expressed his concerns at the Planning Commission meeting. He commended the City Council for their outstanding work over the year. He expressed concerns with the overdevelopment in the community and was concerned about the Camino Brazos neighborhood. In 1988, there was a vote for a freeze on development which was overruled by then Attorney General Jerry Brown. The environmental impact of the Ponderosa project would result in erosion and other negative environmental impacts, including traffic congestion and overcrowded schools. He also referenced the existing drought conditions. Mayor Thorne assured the speaker that there were also other organizations which sued the City regarding development. The Mayor closed the public hearing. Councilmember Brown requested that using trees as a "shield" to mitigate lighting glare for the street perpendicular to Camino Brazo be added as a condition. Councilmember Olsen stated that this was not an issue for the Planning Commission and he complimented the applicant for finding a reasonable solution. Mayor Thorne clarified that the condition suggested by Councilmember Brown was to have staff work with the applicant to provide trees as a mitigating measure for lighting glare. Staff requested that the conditions circulated earlier to the Council be included in the final motion as well. Councilmember Brown thanked staff for phasing the project appropriately and holding firm on the driving range matter. Councilmember Narum appreciates the cul-de-sac that was included in the project and the work done with the neighbors to the rear of the property. 22.
