P/C Page 11 2/23/83 Mr. Harris presented the staff report. He indicated that "Open Space" has not been defined yet under the General Plan and that staff feels that both with the Martin and Dunkley proposal a lot of thought has gone into the plan paying particular attention to the terrain. He said there will be more grading on the Mutual Land property than with the Martin property but they are attempting to keep grading to a minimum. He said there will be nothing greater than 12-122% slope and that staff recommends approval. Mr. Harris further indicated that there has been a study done covering about 1700 acres incorporating three properties in the area concerning the water and circulation for the area. He said the developers paid for most of the cost of the studies with the City paying the balance. Commissioner Getty asked if the Commission would get a copy of the completed study. Mr. Harris said yes, it is tentatively scheduled fora general plan amendment next year concerning the Circulation Element resulting from the study. Commissioner Getty then asked if Crellin Road is extended how much cut and fill would be required. Mr. Harris stated the study looked at this. Commissioner Getty asked if staff thought Crellin Road will be used all that much and asked if it is necessary to put it right through the project. Mr. Harris stated that the staff is not proposing building a road network but that we want to know the probable locations of the roads so that we can examine circulation of each individual case. Commissioner Getty asked when this would be done. Mr. Harris stated that with the extension of Crellin Road they have asked that the developers dedicate right of way and requested that they enter into a deferred improvement agreement with the City so that the improvements can be done when deemed necessary by the City Engineer and that the City is not requiring that the street be stubbed out at this time. Commissioner Getty addressed Condition No. 3 in that only two lots would pay for the additional 700' of paving. Mr. Warnick stated that it is the developers responsibility to build roads on the site but in five years if not used, the road would become a public nuisance so-they need to set-aside by agreement that the improvements will be done now or in the future if needed. He stated that in a deferment agreement the City. usually asks for the property owner closest to the road to parti'ci'pate in the funding. Mr. Harris confirmed that there is nothing unusual about this. Mr. Harris stated that other property~~nearby will be coming out of the Williamson Act in 9 years. Mr. Warnick stated that a deferment agreement must be tied to a particular piece of property. Chairperson Lindsey asked who would buy Lots #10 and #11 with such a lien. Mr. Swift stated the cost could be spread over other lots but that it makes it more difficult to sell all of the lots instead of just two as in this case. Mr. Warnick indicated that if the cost is spread over more lots, it makes more people to negotiate with. Commissioner Getty asked what would happen if the Circulation Study is not approved. Mr. Harris stated that unless it is changed drastically, there should be no problem. He further stated the report does not consist of a text but just a series of maps. Commissioner Getty felt that the Commission should be provided with the maps. Chairperson Lindsey said it would be nice to have the information. -11-
