Commissioner Jamieson asked Mr. Dunkley if he wasn't better off if he left the property Medium Density Residential and asked what assurance the City would have that the property wouldn't be developed too densely. Mr. Dunkley stated that staff had advised them that without a complete development plan on the entire 57 acre property there was no way they could accept a conceptual plan. Mr. Dunkley stated that there would probably be a 10 year buildout on the property so it makes sense to have a conceptual plan and that it would take probably $50,000 to get a complete development plan with grading plans, etc. as required under the PUD ordinance. Mr. Dunkley said they have tried to feather the development from High to Low Density Residential. Commissioner Lindsey asked what would happen if the General Plan gets approved and the property owners sell the property. Mr. Harris explained. Mr. Dunkley stated they they propose 15 units/acre and this would be in Phase 'A'. He said control wouldn't be lost. He further said that inasmuch as the area in question is next to industrial property they want clustering and appropriate density. Al Weimken, Trenery Drive, stated he agrees with Mr. Dunkley's comments in that the density should be feathered. He said it makes a lot of sense. He said he has met with Mr. Dunkley and Mr. Dunkley has explained to him what his plans were. He said his concerns were about the selling of the property and the fact that it could develop up to 25 units per acre. He said their area is unique; i.e., 200 year old walnut trees, etc. and they want the area pre- served. He said that if high density is allowed with a General Plan change it could start a domino effect on the other property. He presented a copy of the CC&Rs of Laguna Vista Estates for the Commission to review and asked them to look at that area now. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Doherty said he has long been on record speaking to the sensitive aspects of this area and asked what would happen if the property changes hands and asked if there was some way to accommodate the situation without having a general plan amendment. Mr. Harris said there was and that is to prepare an overall development plan but that Mr. Dunkley doesn't want to do that. He said an approved development plan can be modified later but that an overall development plan is a way to go on the property. Commissioner Wilson said that if the phases were reversed there wouldn't be too much of a problem. He said he would feel more comfortable with a PUD for the total parcel. Commissioner Jamieson supported Commissioner Wilson's statements. Commissioner Lindsey stated he likes the feathering aspects regarding density but would also like to see an overall plan for the area. -8- ._._ ... ..___. _..._...-...._...__.._.. ._..,.. .. ...__ ............ ........_.__ _.. .._....._.. .. .__.,.. .. _._..... ~ .... ._._.... _... .~.__._. ._.T...._. ._
