Mr. Harris explained the staff report and addressed the General Plan Amendment previously approved by the City Council. . Commissioner Getty expressed concernings with signaling at Hopyard Road. Mr. Harris stated that if it were zoned PUD, signals would be examined as part of the conditions of that plan. He stated that under R-1-6500, the Planning Commission would have the subdivision map only to consider and that Engineering and Legal Counsel would have to decide whether or not this condition could be imposed on a Tentative Subdivision Map. Chairman Jamieson then addressed the road going from 84 to 60 feet. Public hearing was opened. Peter Turner, attorney for McManus spoke. He stated Mr. McManus has made arrangements with Crocker Homes to be the developer of this site. He did state, however, that Mr. McManus had every intention of putting in signals as previously promised. He stated the developer wants to put through a plan which will be supported by the community: He stated they would like their project approved at this time so that they can apply for R.A.P. and that David Heldt, the planner, and Mr. Kameny, the developer were present in the audience. Commissioner Wilson wondered about the possibility of zoning the westernmost 13 acres of the property for high density residential. Mr. Turner then addressed marketability with regard to putting five to six models in the front. David Heldt, Environmental Planning Architect, spoke representing the applicant. He showed renderings outlining the main features of the proposal and possible lot sizes. Commissioner Geppert then spoke to signalization and traffic congestion. Mr. Harris stated that if this was zoned PUD, the City would certainly try to make signalization part of the subdivison. He stated this piece of property would be well suited for a PUD. In answer to Commissioner Geppert's question, Mr. Heldt stated that five acres currently be considered for a general plan amendment by City Council are not included in this proposal. Mr. Heldt stated they would offer that five acres as park land. Commissioner Wilson addressed R-1-6500 & residential Overlay District Ordinance. He stated he was not convinced the ordinance is not in effect. Mr. Harris stated he could not say whether or not the ordinance is currently in effect. Commissioner Doherty stated there is sufficient R-1-6500 in the community and that during a recent study session of the Planning Commission, it was determined larger lots were more desirable. Mr. Heldt stated they have not given any consideration to 10,000 sq. ft. lots for this narrow parcel to the present time and that cost goes up as open space increases. -4-
