188 towards the problem areas. The development will not exacerbate existing water problems. (3) There are no plans to build Mediterranean homes in the area. What is envisioned is a California contemporary ranch, using flat fire-resistant tile roof that appear like shakes. (4) Lot 49C will not be graded. It will have a one-story custom home at street elevation, with 1½ or two stories at the rear. This will be subject to the approval of the Design Review Board. Mr. Pereira continued that there will be no mass grading on the project, with only 3,038 cubic yards per acre, as opposed to Ventana Hills' 4,717 cubic yards per acre and Kottinger Ranch's 6,280 cubic yards per acre. He added that the viewshed would be preserved and that the open spaces should be maintained by the City through a landscaping and lighting maintenance district. If the open spaces will be made accessible to the public, they should be incorporated in the City parks system and maintained by the City, since it would not be fair to have the homeowners association maintain open spaces that would be subject to heavy public use. Mr. Tarver asked Mr. Pereira to respond to the concept of approving the project without canceling the Williamson Act Contract. Mr. Pereira stated that the Williamson Act Contract could be retained for the 60% open space and canceled for the remaining 40% to be developed. He pointed out, however, that the Williamson Act Contract requires a minimum of 100 acres to qualify, which the Bonde Ranch no longer has, after the City canceled the Williamson Act Contract for the portion that is now the extension of Bernal Avenue. Mr. Mercer commented that there were a number of residents that expressed concern that the project be developed as proposed in the revised plan, should the project be approved, whether by Shapell Industries or by another developer the project may be sold to. He inquired if the City could enter into a Development Agreement with Shapell Industries to restrict the development to whatever Conditions of Approval are approved for the project and to prevent a future Council from amending the plan. Mr. Roush said yes. He stated that Shapell Industries or any other developer would be bound by the Conditions of Approval for as long as the PUD exists in the form that it was approved. Mr. Mercer asked Mr. Pereira if he would be willing to enter into a Development Agreement with the City that would restrict the development to what is approved at this meeting. - 12 - 5-21-91
