The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Dennis, Micheloff, Mohr, Pico, and Mayor Tarvex NOF_,S: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Ms. Michelotti recognized the good relationship the City has had with Viacorn. Rea~uest of the Presley Comnanies to extend date to ~e a Final Man for Phase H of the Laurel Creek Estates Project. (S1~5:376) Brian Swift presented the staff report. Ms. Dennis stated that when she met with the developer's representatives, they raised the issue that the sewer improvements were not designed in a way that was typical of other subdivisions. Mr. Swift stated that there was a large creek that runs through the middle of the Presley project. Extensive grading on the south side is necessary to accommodate the approach to the bridge as well as for the residential units that would be built in that area. The road would reach a high point near where the existing Foothill Reservoir is, then would drop down until it crosses the creek, and then rise back up again to the saddle where it then drops down to Dublin Canyon Road. Because of the trail in the middle, it is not possible to do the sewer system in a way that would allow gravity sewers without having the sewer line run parallel to the creek out to Foothill Road. In order to run the sewer line parallel to the creek out to Foothill Road, the sewer line would have to cross either an adjoining property owner's property, who has not indicated that he would be willing to have the sewer line cross that property, or would have to run in a location that would have very steeply sloping banks, with large trees and other habitat area. The staff felt the EIR that was done for the project indicated that it would not be desirable to have the sewer line in that location. It is not the line that is the problem but the City requires access to sewer lines and manholes are normally installed about 300 feet apart. The sewer system is designed on the south side of the creek to drain by gravity to Stoneridge Road. On the area to the north of the creek, the sewer line does two things that are not usual. It gets to be quite deep in the area where the saddle is so that it can flow as much by gravity as possible. Several lots located to the most southerly portion of the area would be sewexed by a grinder pump (private sewage systems) since the houses are below the gravity line. This was done for a cost saving measure rather than having to build a lift station at the low spot in the swell. Lift stations are expensive to maintain and expensive to build. Ms. Michelotti asked by extending the date to September 1996, how does the growth management work into this. Does that extend growth management for the year also? 11/21/95 -18-
