Council discussion ensued regarding which part of Vineyard Avenue was in the City and what belonged to the County; the Ridgewood Construction project retaining wall and other improvements; and road easements and access. Mayor Mercer stated that he and Councilmember Wilson had visited the site; he felt it would be u.fair to go ahead with annexation without the Ward prob- lem being solved. Councilmember Wilson stated he could see no reason why Ridgewood Construc- tion Company should get away with what they are doing. Mr. Harris stated he has met with Mr. Ward and is willing to work further with him on this matter. He is unable to provide a development plan at this time; to ask for a development plan before annexation is getting the cart be- fore the horse. He asked that Council not deny the annexation but to add a condition that if there is no other access possible then access will be pro- vided through the Harris property. Mr. Swift stated the old fifty foot County right-of-way is not relevant; the City uses a plan line according to City standards. When Vineyard Avenue was extended to accommodate development that roadway was still within County right-of-way according to the General Plan. The roadway is beginning to move to the north. It will be difficult to extend that road without major impact on access to the Ward property. Mr. Swift advised the road cannot be built across the Ward property outside of the fifty foot right-of-way without con- demning the property. He stated the development next door truly abused the Ward's property but it was done within the fifty foot right-of-way. After further discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Wilson, and secon- ded by Councilmember Brandes, to continue the public hearing Open on this item to the meeting of January 19, 1988, and instructing staff to try to work out a satisfactory solution to the problems associated with the proposed annexation, and also instructing staff to determine whether or not Ridgewood Construction Company built in accordance with approved plans.
