?_. Presented a proposal for a new condition number 13 instead of what staff had recommended, which reads as follozas: "That the developer will make an irrevocable offer of dedication for the Foothill Road right-of-way to accom- modate four travel lanes, it being understood that until the dedication is accepted, the land will be part of the adjacent lots and under the control and maintenance of the owners thereof." 3. Requested the deletion of condition 25, which requires. the developer to enter into a bonded deferred agreement to design and construct street frontage improvements across the entire Foothill Road frontage. There was no further public testimony. Commissioner Jamieson requested staff's comments on the new condi- tion 13. Mr. Harris stated it was considerably different than that proposed by staff. Commissioner Wilson again asked about item 3 of the Initial Study and asked what was the mitigation measure. Mr. Swift responded that condition 3 is the appropriate condition to mitigating such problems. Mr. Harris indicated Larry Lew had prepared the study and asked him to comment about any geologic problems. Mr. Lew said the study was done in association with the prezoning file and they found that the fault was entirely off the property and to the west of Foothill Road. Commissioner Lindsey raised the point about improvements to Foothill Road and the bonding requirement. Mr. Lawrence indicated it would be totally unacceptable to the developer. Commissioner Jamieson asked if the developer did not put up the bond on street improvements and the road improvements were needed in ten years, where does the money come from? Mr. Warncik indicated it would have to be City funds or formal assessment districts, which would be difficult, or from gas tax funds. Mr. Warnick indicated that the bonding requirement was not uncommon and that an alterna- tive would be to pay an in lieu fee. Mr. Lawrence felt that the improvements would not be necessary and putting up money for something that may never be required is not reasonable. Commissioner Lindsey was very much in favor of the linear park along the freeway. He agrees with staff to cut down the lots to 80 and perhaps 79 (minus one in row 21-28). Commissioner Jamieson felt it would be difficult to get other landowners and developers to go along with the linear park and did not think it was a good idea to accept the dedication. He felt there were too many lots for the size of the development. -5- T..Te..... ~...... .___.. ... ......._..... ..........,
