He also stated that City Attorney Harvey Levine wants the following condition added to any new developments in town: "Approval of this case does not guarantee sewage capacity for subject property." The public hearing was opened. George Oakes, the applicant spoke. He stated he has never understood that sewers were guaranteed by the City and is aware there are many procedures required to be processed in order to achieve sewerage. He stated he has lived up to all of his promises to the City and wants this PUD approved. He stated they have donated property for park space, planted lawns, provided pathways, tennis courts, pools, etc. and would like to finish building out the 900 homes desired. He stated this figure was reduced from approximately 1200 because of the dedications made to the City. He stated he has spent $600,000 to build the Mocho as it is and would move Las Positas to anywhere desired. He stated he has been working with Flood Control on this and they haven't made up their minds where it should be. Mr. Oakes stated this is a PUD and City dedications have already been completed. He stated he did not agree with staff that this project would not benefit the City. He stated they have already paid for sewers, water lines, piers, etc. Commissioner Wilson stated that every time the applicant comes before the Planning Commission he indicated he paid for sewer lines. Commissioner Wilson pointed out that many people, not just the applicant, paid for an assessment district and are unable to obtain permits. Commissioner Jamieson asked the applicant why he desired a PUD as opposed to R-1-6500 zoning. Mr. Oakes stated this area started out as a PUD and he wished to do the same thing that was done in Pleasanton Meadows. Commissioner Jamieson asked what the average lot size was. Larry Bartelson, MacKay and Somps responded that the average would be about 7,000 sq. ft., there would be a minimum of 6,000 sq. ft. with a high of 10,000 sq. ft. Commissioner Leppert addressed condition #9 concerning haul roads. Mr. Oakes stated haul roads would be from his own property and nothing would come from the west. Mr. Oakes stated that you get dirt when you cut streets. Commissioner Geppert then asked how much dirt would be moved and Larry Bartelson stated about 150 yards per lot. Commissioner Getty addressed the setbacks. Mr. Oakes stated he hadn't had a chance to look at the specifications regarding distance. He stated the single- story structures are the same. Mr. Harris stated that the only one different is the two two-story houses in that the applicant is asking for 17 feet instead of 20 feet as required by the R-1 Code. Commissioner Jamieson asked the number of lots which would be 6,000 sq. ft. Larry Bartelson responded he isn't sure of the percentages, but would say that less than two percent would be 6,000 sq. ft. and that 50~ are below 6,500 sq. ft. -2-
