MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION 4/25/84 Page 6 signs. Mr. Harris indicated that it does not and should be approved under separate application. The public hearing was opened. Chuck Pinkerton, Ponderosa Homes, made a presentation. He explained access would be gained at the point where the street is currently blocked off. Construction traffic would be limited to the approved haul route. They have been advised of concerns and are trying to be responsible good neighbors. They agree with the conditions of the staff report but would ask that condition number two be modified to show 'prior to occupancy' instead of 'closed for sale.' The staff indicated they have no objection to this terminology. The applicant indicated that it is their customary practice to sell the model homes to investors and lease them back and the change in terminology would be beneficial in getting this accomplished. Commissioner Wilson indicated that the last time Ponderosa Homes applied for a model home complex, concerns were expressed with haul routes, traffic, etc. Mr. Pinkerton said they have tried to relieve the concerns as much as possible. Commissioner Wilson asked if Hansen Drive will be restored to the condition at which it was prior to construction. Mr. Warnick indicated that there are funds of three separate developers who have used Hansen during the course of construction and these will be used to get the street restored. Chairman Jamieson asked about the price of the models. Mr. Pinkerton stated he is not sure yet but would guess $130-170,000. The houses are smaller by 10% than the Vineyard. Dick Curtis, 6590 Hansen Drive, addressed the closed off portion of the road. He stated that they have asked Ponderosa to close off Hansen Drive. He asked for clarification as to how one would get to the models without closing the entire road. Mr. Pinkerton presented a site plan showing access. Mr. Curtis asked about phasing of the project and Mrs. Pinkerton explained. Mr. Curts asked about how the haul route would be terminated. Mr. Curtis explained that Ponderosa and others do not always close the gate off to Hansen and are in fact not good neighbors. Mr. Curtis has closed the gate himself on numerous occasions to prevent trucks from encroaching. Ponderosa mixes the traffic and has caused many problems. Mr. Warnick explained that a sewer project was going on in the area and one of the two day periods in which the work was done, the company used Hansen Drive. Mr. Curtis indicated that the City's inspector was not too helpful and appears to be irritated when someone talks to him about the problems of the area. Chairman Jamieson suggested that perhaps Mr. Curtis could keep contact with Mr. Warnick to settle some of these problems should they arise. -6-
