located on the west side of Foothill Road, just north of Bernal Avenue for a 24-lot, 25,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size, single-family residential development. The property is zoned HPD (Hillside Planned Development) District. A negative declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. The public hearing was opened and continued until May 27, 1981, 6:OOpm, City Hall Conference Room as stated at the beginning of the Planning Commission meeting. PUD-80-17, Ronald Grider Application of Ronald Grider for a 43 acre, single-family residential, planned unit development containing 85 single-family lots. The site is located 830 ft. south of the existing City limit line between Foothill Road and I-680. The property is zoned PUD (Planned Unit Development-Low Density Residential) District. A negative declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. Mr. Harris reviewed the staff report stating that many of the lots are 10,000 sq. ft. and that a mitigated negative declaration would have to be considered for noise reduction. Chairperson Wilson discussed one entrance off of Foothill Road. Mr. Harris stated that initially there was some concern but once the surrounding properties develop, there will be more access points to the area. He stated that a 60 ft. wide street is sufficient width to accommodate 84 lots and if the lots are reduced in number, it would be even easier. The only concern remaining would be getting an emer- gency vehicle through if for some reason the street were blocked, but the Fire Department didn't express any particular concern with this. The public hearing was opened. Bob Lawrence, planning consultant for the project, working with Lynn Bowers, engineer, addressed the staff report. Mr. Lawrence asked that the following conditions be changed: No. 1, concerning minimum lot depth and width. Concerning Condition No. 15, he proposed interum improvements be placed in such a way as to provide left-turn pockets and not the construction of all frontage improvements across the entire Foothill Road frontage of the development. Chairperson Wilson asked Mr. Warnick for his suggestion. Mr. Warnick said the ultimate proposal would be for a four-lane divided roadway (24' x 800'±). Mr. Bowers explained there is not enough room to jog 60 ft. and have a smooth transition. Mr. Lawrence .said they would .consent to enter into an assessment district and to help whenever it is necessary. Mr. Warnick stated that after 85 lots are sold it is pretty difficult to get 85 people to agree to do anything with this regard. The applicant related problems he had with Conditions No. 16, 17, 18 and 20. Further, Condition No. 15 requires vertical curbs and it is their desire to have rolled curbs. They asked that they be allowed to have wooden poles with ornamental luminars contrary to the require- ment of Condition No. 35 and that Condition No. 37 be put off until tentative map stage. -5- ._ __ r. .._. .. .
