Planning Commission June 13, 1979 Page 10 of them would preclude any hazards. The Commissioners then discussed the City's commitment to the applicant and felt the City should stand by that commitment. Mr. Campbell then addressed the Commission and vehemently denied ever agreeing to anything with the applicants concerning the water line location while stating they did discuss where the line should go. He stated he told the applicants that he first wanted to see the relationship of the two systems. Mr. Maines then concurred that the City did not agree to anything but rather suggested at the previous meeting the City seemed to support the tieline. Mr. Campbell stated they strongly recommend a tieline, but doesn't think it is in the proper place as proposed. Commissioner Jamieson stated he felt it is a shame that another major change be required of the developer. Mr. Campbell stated that the time involved is about a one week period. He stated it is normal for the developer to design utilities subject to the approval of the engineering department. Mr. Campbell reiterated a number of concerns having to do with valves, quick draw, fire department perhaps running out of water at the station should there be a problem, pumping uphill and bringing the water down again. Mr. Campbell stated the City Council determined that they didn't want any public facilities in that subdivision. If they do put public facilities in that subdivision it would do the City no good at all. Mr. Maines again addressed the Commission stating he has heard the City's arguments but it doesn't cost the City anything and further no one can tell them where valves and pipes have failed and that the applicant doesn't know what the City wants any more. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Jamieson made a motion that Tentative Map for Tract 4257, Longview be approved subject to the conditions of the staff report of June 5, 1979 with condition 4~3, Recommendations of the Engineering Department, be changed to read: "That the water system include a tieline to existing water main on the Pleasanton Ridge and that approval of the system for domestic and fire protection purposes ahll be withheld pending final designs, calculations and approval of the final map".
