383 further review of the north side of Sycamore Road; then the south side can be reviewed. Mayor Mercer stated he spent 7-8 months working with the Alisal Improvement Club several years ago. Council tried to solve the problem of the sewer line, but the property owners in that area wanted no part of it. He felt it was not fair for these residents to be opposed to a property owner that does want to annex. Mr. Templet stated the main concern of the residents is that the area remain rural. Mrs. Phyllis Couper stated that Amber Road is a private road that comes out on Amber Lane and ends at the end of this property. Most of the people on Sycamore Road had the opportunity to become part of this annexation study; most on the south side do not want to be a part of it. Some of the people in the Happy Valley area want to annex because they want to develop their land. The study in 1984 was for that purpose. The reason people voted it down was because of the sewer line because most could not afford it. They also came up against property with a specific land use. What the Alisal Improvement Club group is trying to do now if to develop a specific plan and put in guidelines; then there will be no more changes. Initially the developer agreed to stick to the plan but now they are not. She feels the buffer zone is needed to provide what everyone wants. If holes are allowed in the buffer zone the plan will not work. She asked Council to postpone a decision on this item until the Sycamore Study has been presented and decided upon by Council; and providing sewer to the property in discussion, so that Pioneer Investment Group may negotiate with Alameda County to build one house on the property and remain in the county. After further discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Brandes, and seconded by Mayor Mercer, to annex the 2.07 parcel, located on the south side of Sycamore Road west of Amber Lane (Pioneer Investment Group). The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmember Brandes and Mayor Mercer NOES: Councilmembers Butler, Mohr, and Tarver ABSENT: None MATTERS CONTINUED FOR DECISION item 10a Adoption of Ordinance No. 1403, Amending the Growth Manaqement Ordinance to allow Far West only to apply late this year for growth manaqement allocation fIntro. 3-7-89.3-Ayes, 2-Noes) Mayor Mercer stated that Ordinance No. 1403 was introduced on March 7, 1989, by a vote of 3-Ayes, 2-Noes, and that it is now in order to adopt the ordinance. - 22 - 3-21-89
