<br />Pam Chrisman, 1944 Vineyard Avenue, asked again that the City honor its promise to allow <br />them to subdivide. They would like to maximize their assets which is considered free <br />enterprise. The Vineyard Avenue property owners are not part of a "get rich quick" scheme. <br />The General Plan Steering Committee said they would entertain a minority report from the <br />homeowners, however, two couples would not agree to the minority report because they do <br />not want to subdivide. Ms. Chrisman also feels that the Vineyard Avenue property should <br />be able to be subdivided before the San Francisco Water Department property is developed. <br /> <br />Sharen Heinz, 1550 Vineyard Avenue, agreed to the comments of the previous speaker and <br />would like them submitted as part of the EIR. <br /> <br />Buz Moxon, 700 Vineyard Avenue, stated he felt a gag order was placed on them by not <br />letting them speak to any issue other than the EIR. The issues Mr. Moxon would like <br />addressed by the EIR are: <br /> <br />. The realignment of Vineyard and how safe is the present configuration of <br />Vineyard Avenue. <br />. The infrastructure and what level is needed to support the houses; what <br />improvements will they get, will they get sewers and water. <br />. How profitable would agricultural (raising cattle and sheep) uses be for the <br />land? <br />. How advisable is it to have Lonestar not mine the area next to the Spotorno <br />property, and what can the City do to allow it to remain as it is? <br /> <br />The owners would like to be closely related to the City's planning regarding the EIR and the <br />housing. Mr. Moxon feels the Steering Committee has decreased their property value by <br />their recommendations. Mr. Moxon also asked that this infill property be dealt with before <br />any property outside the City limits. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wright advised that there was no intent to issue a "gag order," the last <br />meeting was considered the public hearing on the matter, and this meeting was opened up as <br />a courtesy. <br /> <br />Mr. Moxon felt the Mayor had said that there would be numerous times for public input for <br />them which in reality Mr. Moxon feels has turned out to be only one public hearing. Mr. <br />Swift advised that there will be many meetings next spring to review the Draft EIR. <br /> <br />Michael Goodwin, 1630 Vineyard Avenue, shared the same concerns of the previous <br />speakers regarding the Vineyard Corridor. He spoke about working with staff to develop a <br />number of alternatives for the area, spending thousands of dollars on studies. Mr. Goodwin <br />feels the property owners have waited long enough for a decision to be made. He also feels <br />since they are considered an infill area, they should be developed before other properties <br />outside the City are developed. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />August 9, 1995 <br />
