MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION Page 14 ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Resolution No. 2440 was entered and adopted recommending approval of case PUD-83-16 as motioned. Development of the Eastern End of the Crocker Homes Parkside Development Mr. Harris reviewed the staff report. He indicated the developer doesn't care one way or the other about whether or not there is access on the eastern end of the sports park. They just want somebody to do something so they can build their homes. Chairman Jamieson indicated that while this is not a public hearing but for information only, they would take public input. Brad Hirst, Co-chairman, General Plan Review Committee's Transportation Sub-committee, recommended that the Planning Commission concur with the staff recommendation. He indicated that the vote of the Sub-committee was 19 for & 1 against the access. Commissioner Lindsey asked if they wanted through traffic from Hopyard to Santa Rita Road. Mr. Hirst said no, they feel very strongly that no traffic should go through the business park to either the subdivision or the park. They are suggesting no mix of the commercial traffic with the residential area. Personally he recommends this not be done. Commissioner Wilson felt it was very apparent that Suttergate just ends abruptly and was always meant to be connected. Lois Connolly-Jones, 4951 Golden Road, spoke representing the Transportation Sub-committee of the General Plan Review Committee. She was concerned with lack of the eastern access to the Sports Park because she once saw a child get hurt at a playground who wouldn't have been helped had there not been access. Bob Jones, 4868 Mohr Avenue, urged that the Planning Commission not initiate a change to the condition imposed which rezoned the property. He agreed that access is needed for the park but wants their guaranty preserved whereby there would be no access through their subdivision. He suggested an alternative of West Las Positas Boulevard. CommissionerWilson asked Mr. Jones that when he bought his home it wasn't obvious that Suttergate was to go through. Mr. Jones said a guaranty was made by the City Council in the form of a condition imposed on the rezoning and doesn't want this guaranty changed. Doug Stuhr, 4849 Mohr Avenue, was really concerned with what happens to Suttergate. He moved from Shearwater Court and at that time came down to the City and asked the City to show them what was planned for the area. They then rezoned the property from park to allow for homes and the citizens were guaranteed no access. He felt it was a matter of honesty. -........T..._... .. _. .....__.._ _. _. .. ...... ,.... _._.. _ ~ _.
