T _ Therefore, there was hesitation in approving the subject application due to lack of knowledge at this time as to whether the City will need more right-of-way in the future. Mr. Winters, Engineer for Standard 011, was present in the audience and stated that Standard Oil is willing to cooperate with the City in obtaining archi- tectural design, etc., as desired to maintain an early California style. Mr. Winters briefly described the new station as follows: use3 brick or slump stone wall, trusseo roof with plaster ceiling on the outside, inside will be sheet rock, the beams in the pumping islands will be steel beams boxed in by redwood, designed to give an overall wood effect. Yt was suggested that Livingston and Blayney be requested to report their views on this service station relative to the Central Business District. It was further determined to solve the street widening problem before issuance of a Zoning Permit. Mr. Campbell suggested that a 5-ft. slump stone retaining wall rather than a cpncrete wall be erected to enhance the landscaping scheme. Mr. Winters also pointed aut the need for open space behind the station to allow Large tank trucks to pass through. If the building is to be moved back to the property line to allow for street widening, there would be an inconvenience for the trucks, but Standard Oil will move the building back, if so requested. After further dis- cussion, it was agreed by both the Commission and the applicant to continue this matter to the meeting of January 13. Mr. Winters was granted the privilege of sub- mitting a new drawing which will include the sign involved. The next item on the agenda was the Tentative Subdivision Map; Tract No. 2659, Rosepointe (Martin). In giving the staff report, Mr. Fales stated that comments fror all City departments and interested outside agencies have been solicited and in- corporated in this report where applicable. The staff recommended approval of Tentative Map, Tract No. 2659, subject to conditions as outlined. Mr. Campbell stated that possibly valley gutters could be eliminated and the storm drain extended Mr. Ted Fairfield spoke in defense of the valley gutters. He ataeed that people would be entering and leaving the cul-de-sac at a slow rate of speed and, therefore, the valley gutter would not be hazardous. Also, the storm drain cuould cost ap- pxoximately $2,000 ae compared to approximately $300 for the valley gutter. Mr. Martin case present in the audience and stated that he felt the valley gutter would tend to slow traffic entering and leaving the cul-de-sac. Discussion ensued con- cerning the old and the new types of valley gutters. The applicant was not in wholehearted agreement on the matter of water supply and distribution system. Mr. Martin does not wish to extend the water main due to the additional coats involved. The Commission pointed out that the applicant would be reimbursed through a Mutual Benefit District. Mr. Falea raised the question as to suggested adjacent street systems. Mr. Fairfield agreed to submit an exhibit showing this system. The Com- mission then engaged in further discussion, after which Mr, Falea, stepping out of the role of Secretary and speaking as City Manager, stated that perhaps at times one must consider the total development scheme, quality of homes, quality of lands, urban aesthetics and potential annexations and developmenta,and sacrifice some of the more intangible and negligible items. After discussion by the Commission, upon motion of Chairman Landon, seconded by Commissioner Antonini, the following resolu- tion was adopted by unanimous vote: RESOLUTION N0. 371 RESOLVED: The Tentative Subdivision Map for Tract No. 2659, Rosepointe (Martin) having come before this Commission as provided by Ordinance No. 358, is hereby approved, with the following conditions and modifications; except in the case of the valley gutter, which will be allowed with minimum width of 6 feet, depth of 2 inches: 1.
