141 Ms. Scribner said that staff had answered the questions that she asked at the previous meeting. She was concerned with the access road in the back of the development. Ms. Scribner was in favor of keeping roads connected because she felt it is important, not only for emergency access, but for providing different routes for coming and leaving the development itself so people don't use the same road all the time. She was confused with Response No. 7 of the staff report regarding the funding of the secondary public access road. Mr. Swift indicated that there was an error in the staff report. The developer would pay for the road from the extended Hearst Drive to the northeast corner of the site. Ms. Scribner reiterated that staff is requiring the developer to construct a second public access road on-site and $2,000 per unit towards the completion of the off-site road. She found a large gap in the unfunded portion of the road. She felt that it was too much money for the City to spend on this road, because the road would not be needed if the development did not exist. If it was determined that the road was needed, she believed that the developer should pay more than what was listed. If the road was connected to the Vineyard Corridor, it would open up development. Then new development could reimburse this developer for their portions of the road. Ms. Scribner asked Council if it would consider eliminating the golf course because she had not found anyone who wanted it. The Council majority did not support eliminating the golf course from the plan. Ms. Scribner suggested Council should review the funding for the second access road. Mr. Butler stated that it was his preference not to require the second access road and to reduce the size of the project. Ms. Scribner felt that Mr. Butler's suggestion did not solve the fire access problem. Mr. Butler believed that it did. He believed that there was one or two other vehicle access points that would serve a smaller project. Ms. Mohr commented that although the public hearing was closed at the last meeting and Council acted, discussion did not cease regarding traffic and other issues. At that time, she was not ready to drop the idea of an access to Vineyard. However in considering the proposed improvements for Vineyard and the overall circulation, she no longer believed the second road was necessary. Her major concern had been the impact on the Blue Oak Canyon with respect to grading. In reevaluating the fire safety issue, she 10/20/92 11
