Court. He believed that the community and city could come up with a design that would narrow the mouth, such as the use of wrought iron fences, or more signage, anything but a gate, to make this look like a private driveway. Ms. Ayala reiterated what Vice Mayor Pico said and liked the fact that young people were moving into town with the small children. Ms. Ayala stated that she found the PUD modification is inconsistent with the General Plan and encouraged the homeowners to seek alternative methods such as narrowing the entrance to the drive. She felt that the existing signs should be raised to eye level and much more signage be used. She said that the drivers need to be made aware that Del Valle Court is a private drive and felt this could be done by use of more signage. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Ms. Dennis, to adopt Resolution No. 97-10, denying the application of the Del Valle Court Homeowners Association for a major modification to an approved PUD to allow construction of a gate at the entry to Del Valle Court. Ms. Dennis stated she realized there was a problem with the street design but felt there were alternate solutions that did not include a gate, such as redesigning the entry way and the use .of signage. She understood that the gate was the preferred solution but thought it was more extreme than it needed to be. She could not support the installation of a gate. Ms. Michelotti stated that she looked very closely at the Planning Commission's recommendation and wanted to support this application. She realized that the Homeowners Association had to maintain a roadway that is being used more than it should be used and would like to see some resolution to this. Ms. Michelotti suggested an interim measure to have some kind of barricade, like a wrought iron structure that resembles a gate, be put at the entrance. This structure would not close off the community, but would discourage cars from coming down the drive. Ms. Michelotti requested a modification to the motion to allow some type of barrier that could be put on the street to narrow the mouth. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Ms. Dennis, to adopt Resolution No. 97-10, denying the application of the Del Va!le Court Homeowners Association for a major modification to an approved PUD to allow construction of a gate at the entry to Del Valle Court but supporting a minor modification the PUD plan to allow of a barrier to narrow the entrance.
