Commissioner Getty inquired about possible variances for fencing. Mr. Oakes stated he has never been confronted with this possible situation before so had no answers. Commissioner Getty stated that sometimes this becomes a problem with narrow corner lots and the City has had to consider variances in the past for similar circumstances. Commissioner Jamieson stated he was not sure how he feels about a swap regarding the bridge. Mr. Oakes addressed this matter again stating he doesn't feel a bridge is necessary now nor in the future and would rather see the money spent for another need. He stated he would be in favor of a reasonable con- tribution but suggested a limit be set as to his responsibility. Jim Quinn, 3864 West Las Positas Boulevard, spoke in opposition to this project. He stated traffic is a problem currently and there is no guarantee that the Elliott portion will ever be built. He asked how many lots would be lost by going to regular size corner lots vs PUD. He stated 113 units is too many. Mr. Oakes stated approximately 8-10 lots would be lost in response to Mr. Quinn's question. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Jamieson asked if there was any problem staff had with Mr. Oakes request concerning condition #8 and the 2 ft. fill. Mr. Harris stated the staff is asking for 2 ft. near the eastern edge of the pro- perty. He stated that staff would agree to change the condition to reflect "as agreed upon by an archaeologist expert." Commissioner Getty asked how staff feels about moving the creek. Mr. Harris stated Mr. Oakes would have to work with Zone 7 regarding this. Mr. Harris stated that the general plan requires a bridge crossing across the Mocho, but that the general plan could conceivably be changed in the future. Mr. Harris stated Mr. Oakes could build a half a bridge or contribute money toward half a bridge, either would be acceptable to the City. Mr. Schaumburg suggested that the developer contribute toward the bridge and that the amount be resolved prior to approval of the tentative map. Chairperson Doherty stated that a limit should be set at about $250,000 for a contribution fee. Commissioner Jamieson addressed item number 10 of the mitigated negative declaration. Mr. Harris explained B-2 would have to be issued sewer permits prior to anyone on the B-3 list. A motion was made by Commissioner Jamieson, seconded by Commissioner Lindsey, that the mitigated negative declaration prepared for case PUD-80-3 be recommended for approval. -8- _._... .._.____....._._.._...._.._,.. ___ _... __..., .... __. _..~.. _.r...».._..,.. ._. _.. .. ... _.~_... _.... .... __.. .. ~ .. _._ _ T ._. .
