The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Dennis, Michelotti, Pico, and Mayor Tarver. NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Item 6c Council Direction Regarding the Happ_v Valle_v Refined Concept Plan (SR97:67) Wayne Rasmussen presented the staff report. Mayor Tarver asked what the cost for the specific plan would be? Mr. Rasmussen said that it is not part of the plan, but that is a common way to fund a specific plan. Linda Tinkman, 6409 Alisal Street, continued to support the basic plan that has been developed, except for the construction traffic. She recommends that every effort be expended to do the cutting and graveling of the new road at the same time. This would still allow significant time for the completion of both in a timely manner. By using the haul away material for the golf course site it might be possible to reduce the road costs by $450,000. She is concerned that Council has been given inflated costs for the new road. This will drive up other costs involved with the project. She believes the cost of the new road is one million versus the two million suggested by staff. The unnecessary cost of hauling away is significant and can be used at the site if done at the same time. City standards show the road twice as wide as Alternate C, which represents forty-percent of the cost. She believes a specific plan could be achieved within the time line indicated by Mr. Rasmussen. She looks forward to the completion of the project. Phyllis Cooper, 6525 Alisal Street, had two concerns about the road. She understood the bypass road to be a "when" issue. She since has learned the road might be an "if' issue. Her understanding is the road would only go in if all the developing parties agreed to it. If the bypass road is constructed, she agreed that all construction traffic should use this road. She asked why the road could not be built first and then use funding from residential development to build the golf course. Peter MacDonald, 400 Main Street, Suite 210, representing the Spotornos was glad to hear the road would only cost one million dollars and hoped this to be the case. He said he would like discussion on the bypass road before the specific plan is adopted. He said he was concerned about the 27 hole golf course being shown on the specific plan without some guarantee that it would be developed. 8 3/04/97
