Commissioner Horan asked the applicant if he has considered that the public access staging area might be dedicated to the City. The applicant replied that they have had some informal discussion on the matter, but nothing definite was decided. In response to Chairman Mahem's question in regard to the removal of Conditions 5 and 6, Mr. Rasmussen replied that Council had indicated its desire for acquiring public access tight to open space areas. Additional time could be allowed in order for Conditions 5 and 6 to be worked out between the developer and the homeowners' association. Commissioner Hovingh asked staff if the City's goal is to make public accesses the same from project to project. Mr. Rasmussen replied that it is the general policy to try and treat projects equally. They would attempt to make the Bonde project consistent with this one; however, these are issues that yet have to be resolved. Mr. Rasmussen noted that staff could get together with the Association and developer and report back to the Commission. He concluded that the Commission could require that this concept and details could be worked out at a later time. Further discussion ensued regarding Conditions 5 and 6. ~ Paul Harbottle, Kottinger Ranch Association Manager, stated that the Kottinger Ranch Board fully supports the application for the time extension for Tract 5721. He indicated that the bulk of their concerns have been taken care of; in addition, the Board feels that the developer is now in a position to fulfill its responsibilities. Mr. Harbottle said the Board is concerned about Conditions 5 and 6 and liability to the Association. Should a claim be filed against the Association, they feel that there might be a problem at renewal time. In regard to the staging area, he said they had not even heard about it until yesterday. He expressed further concern about liability for the Association in that regard. He noted that he is speaking as the Association manager, not as a resident. Commissioner Horan asked Mr. Harbottle if the Association has ever considered deeding Parcel "A" to the City. Mr. Harbottle said they have had some discussion with Brian Swift on this matter, but no decisions were made. At this time, he could not say whether the Association would be willing to dedicate this land to the City. The applicant returned to the podium and thanked the Commission for its support. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CWSED. A motion was made by Commissioner Michelotti, amended at the reques of Chairman Mahem, and seconded by Commissioner Wright approving the time extension on Tract 5721 to December 31, 1992, subject to Conditions 1 through 4 of Exhibit "B", and continuing resolution of Conditions 5 and 6, with staff, applicant and the Kottinger Ranch Homeowners Minutes Planning Commission December 11, 1991 Page 12 - -
