347 Mr. Mercer mentioned that with regard to the stop work order, it was his understanding that the judge indicated that any stop work order issued by the City could be contested within five days, and the judge would decide if the stop work order was legitimate or not. The stop work order cannot be enforced before that decision is made. Mr. Roush pointed out that this applies only to the issue of access to the subdivision through Crellin Road; it does not apply to the other conditions of approval. Mr. Brandes stated that homebuyers should be informed about, and given a copy of, the project's conditions of approval that may affect them. Mr. Roush indicated that two of the conditions for this project were that no occupancy of the units would be allowed until the City accepted the entire subdivision, and that the developers were to provide all buyers with a copy of the project's conditions of approval. These were also attached to the CC&Rs before recording. He added that he was not aware if these conditions were met or not. Mr. Mercer commented that enough attention has been brought to the project's contractors and workers and that he agreed with the City Attorney's suggestion to leave the situation as it is and see if the problem gets worse again. He mentioned that he had visited the site several times after 4:30 p.m. and had seen workers drinking beer. He expressed concern about the possibility of the workers' being intoxicated as they drive their trucks down the hill. This situation could bring about more complaints from the residents, and the City would have another problem to address. Mr. Eastman stated that his department worked on the area before and after the last Council meeting, based on public complaints. On September 6th, they wrote out 60 citations in nine man-hours in the Vintage Hills area and kept tab of where the citations went: 40 to residents of the area, 20 to non-residents. He added that the beer situation has been addressed mostly in the shopping centers; he would look into the outlying areas. Mr. Richard King, 3237 Touriga Drive, mentioned that speeding cars do not stop at the Touriga Drive and Tawny Drive stop sign and requested that a police officer be stationed there at around 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to enforce traffic rules. Ms. Mary Pat Hawkins commented that there are many people speeding through Montevino Drive, and no traffic enforcement is being done there. She also mentioned that when she purchased her house, she did not receive any notice on the conditions of approval from either the broker or the builder; nothing was mentioned in the CC&Rs or the escrow papers about the possibility of not having complete access. -6- 9-19-89
