Ms. Micheloff indicated Exhibit 4 only has the changes that have been recommended and there are things in the Minutes of July 1 and July 2 that have to be reviewed if there is any concern about the votes. Mr. Pico felt Council would be redoing everything done at the last two meetings. There was substantial discussion and public input. He felt Council should look at only those areas that a Councilmember may wish to change a position from the straw vote or an area where a definite change is desired. He did not want to go through the exhibit item by item. Ms. Miehelotti concurred, but there are inconsistent votes for various reasons and those items should be readdressed. Ms. Dennis requested starting discussions with Foothill Road and referred to the letter submitted by Mr. Kliment. Mr. Swift indicated Mr. Kliment has suggested that rather than change the classification of Foothill Road from Stoneridge Drive all the way to Muirwood South to a two-lane road with left turn pocket, that the section from Stoneridge Drive to Highland Oaks Drive be changed permanently in the General Plan to two-lane with left turn pockets. Staff has not changed its position. Staff has asked property owners who are developing along that corridor to make improvements only to the interim plan, not the final four lane plan, because there is not the required nexus for a four lane contribution when there is only a small project. Gross Developable Acreage It was moved by Ms. Michelotti, seconded by Ms. Mohr, to modify page 114, last paragraph, sentence 3, to delete "whether the arroyo is proposed for dedication or nots and add after "developable acres", "Improvement to and/or dedication of privately owned arroyos should be considered when assessing densities above the median point.s Ms. Mohr felt if Council is trying to get land to complement the trail system or preserve an arroyo the Council should have the ability to review an individual application and determine the value to City. Ms. Michelotti indicated there would be no density there, but if major improvements were done to the arroyo and dedicated it to the City, it should be considered as part of the project. Ms. Dennis believed the Council already has the discretion to look at a project and consider the arroyos. She was concerned about having property dedicated to the City that it does not want. 07/15/96 -21 -
