~ be removed from the site at the end of the day. Chairman McGuirk felt this included the office trailers on site. Mr. Swift clarified that office trailers get a separate permit approval. PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Jim McKeehan, Vice President and General Counsel of Signature Properties, represented the application. In an overview, he advised there were three issues that needed to be addressed. (a growth management ordinance, a school agreement, and the nature of the park to be inside Hacienda and whether it would be a neighborhood park or a community park). Signature Properties has worked with the City, and a decision on a park may be made by February 1994. Mr. Ken Crews of Signature Properties gave a summary of the site plan, stating there are 496 proposed units (including attached townhomes and detached single family homes) to be built in three separate areas. Each area will have its own centrally located recreation area. Mr. Crews indicated the applicant had two minor issues regarding the conditions of approval. The first is Condition 13i, regarding the proposed fence height of 8 feet. Signature Properties proposes using 6 ft. fences, and they have found that height to be adequate. They would like to delete that condition. The second issue of concern is Condition 16A(i), concerning additional access into Phase I. The staff condition requires a second access at Street HH connecting to street AA. Signature Properties feels that one access is sufficient for the number of units in the first phase. Furthermore, the HH street access will be developed along with Phase 2 of the development. They will agree to use Lot 331 as a temporary emergency vehicle access. Commissioner Wright asked if the construction site was going to have two gates, and where they would be located. Mr. McKeehan advised that they have found that one gate is sufficient for their construction projects. Following up on the park situation, Commissioner Michelotti advised that a meeting is scheduled for the next day with several City staff members. Commissioner Mahern questioned when and why the park situation changed. Mr. McKeehan advised that the proposal made by the Planning Commission did not satisfy the City Council's concept of a community park. The Committee is looking at how they can locate a community park inside Hacienda Business Park, and Signature Properties has agreed to build the park once the location and financial questions are answered. Commissioner Mahern inquired as to the difference in acreage in a neighborhood park and a community park. Mr. Swift stated a neighborhood park would be approximately 6.6 acres versus 20 - 33 acres for a community park. The proposed community park would be across from Stoneridge Drive and Gibraltar Drive. Furthermore, Mr. Swift stated that the City is meeting with Hacienda Business Park officials and Signature Properties representatives to finalize the business park's obligation to help build the community park.
