PUD-80-13, Doroth N. Johnson Application o Dorothy N. Johnson to rezone from the R-1-6500 (Single- Family Residential) District to the PUD (Planned Unit Development-Medium Density Residential) District an approximately 10 acre site located on the south side of Vineyard Avenue approximately 120 feet west of Pico Avenue. A negative declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. Mr. Harris presented his staff report and recommendation that the meeting be continued until January 14, 1981 so that further conversation could be held between the applicant and property owner to the east. The public hearing was opened. J. Jack Bras, 90 Mission Drive, spoke representing Mrs. Johnson. He explained that this is merely a 'land use' phase and that the 16 single-family lots would have a view of the valley. He said they have attempted to talk to Mr. Dunkley as requested by staff. He stated they did meet with Mr. Dunkley and Mr. Harris at city hall and that as a result of that meeting Mr. Dunkley wrote a letter dated 12/4/80 which said, as the applicant had guessed it would -- that it is probably too late to do anything and that Mr. Dunkley didn't want to incur additional costs and time delays. Mr. Bras referred to condition number two and asked why a 25 ft. access should be required when it goes to a bluff. He indicated where this would be on a map which he had on display. Commissioner Getty stated she lives in the area and says that on occasions ambulances and fire trucks do use this and that due to erosion it had narrowed. In addressing condition number 4 - Mr. Bras indicated that all develop- ment should be stopped if traffic is as bad as it is indicated. Commissioner Getty stated that Vineyard is a difficult street to travel down because people turn into their residences. Commissioner Doherty stated that perhaps Mr. Harris is right in asking that this matter be continued to January to enable Mr. Bras and Mr. Dunkley to get together on this. Mr. Dunkley, 844 Division Street, owner of the property at Vineyard and Pico spoke. He said that what Mr. Bras has stated is exactly right. He said he did not want to be an obstructionist but in all fairness he has all approvals and is ready to proceed with development and didn't want to incur the burden of both money and time to realign roadways now. Chairperson Wilson asked if Mr. Dunkley had tried to work with Mr. Bras in the past. Mr. Dunkley said he had twice and that at that time (2 years ago) Mrs. Johnson was in no position to move ahead. Commissioner Jamieson said he didn't feel they should put a burden on Mr. Dunkley. -10- ___ .
