48 <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer stated that a letter from EBRPD dated July 5, 1990 <br /> indicated that the trail should be able to accommodate emergency <br /> vehicles such as fire trucks. He asked Mr. Withers if ten feet <br /> would be wide enough for the fire trucks. <br /> <br /> Mr. Withers said no. <br /> <br /> Mr. MacDonald explained that EBRPD's fire trucks were not as <br /> big as the City's and could be accommodated by a ten-foot trail. <br /> <br /> Mr. Withers replied that the City would be responsible for the <br /> area once it is annexed. <br /> <br /> Mr. MacDonald continued that with respect to Ms. Mohr's <br /> concern on the elevation of the trail, Mr. Cooper did a preliminary <br /> engineering work and suggested that it would be feasible and <br /> preferable to drop the trail down, particularly when it gets close <br /> to the project. Regarding staff's recommendation that the maximum <br /> FAR and building coverage be limited to 20% as specified under <br /> Condition No. 8, he pointed out that Council had originally <br /> approved a maximum FAR of 25% and a maximum building coverage of <br /> 25%. He commented that the maximum heatable building floor area <br /> limit of 2,800 square feet would be inconsistent with some of the <br /> project's Victorian designs and suggested that the language be <br /> modified to allow a maximum of 3,400 square feet with no more than <br /> four units exceeding 3,000 square feet. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mike Cooper, Cooper and Sword, stated that the <br /> undergrounding utilities proposed in Condition No. 11 would require <br /> 700 feet of utilities and would still leave an existing 60 K.V. <br /> high voltage lines which would not be undergrounded along the <br /> alignment. He requested that this condition either be modified to <br /> read that the limits of the undergrounding would be as agreed upon <br /> with the City Engineer or be taken care of by a deferred <br /> improvement agreement. With regard to the existing wells under <br /> Condition No. 22, he recommended that the wells be used as a <br /> potential source of supplemental irrigation water. He stated that <br /> he met with representatives of Zone 7, who indicated that the wells <br /> would not have to be sealed if a permit for those wells is applied <br /> for with Zone 7, whose inspectors would then look into the wells. <br /> He requested that the condition be amended to allow at least one of <br /> the wells to remain unsealed if approved by Zone 7. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr inquired if Zone 7 meters private wells. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cooper replied that it was his understanding that Zone 7 <br /> may want a ground water monitoring element installed to check on <br /> the water. <br /> <br /> 10-2-90 <br /> - 20 - <br /> <br /> <br />
