363 <br />to benefit the lower seems redundent because this was one project as a whole, <br />it was asked that these things be done in order for the project to be <br />proved. It was one solid unit in order for it to co-function before those <br />could be developable lots below. <br /> <br /> Mr. Ken Bussy, who lives in the lower section, stated he read the report: <br />He asked if Boatright and Goodrich brought their applications to the City, and <br />did the City approve it based on some recommendations as far as their own of- <br />fice. Mr. MacDonald stated there is nothing in the staff report referring to <br />physical work that did not get done. Mr. Bussy stated that in the report it <br />says something about the City noted that one of the primary considerations to <br />the development of the hillside is to control service and subservice drainage; <br />he assumed that was one of the conditions for approval to build houses on it. <br />Mr. MacDonald stated they submitted plans showing drainage including the V- <br />ditch and some of the things that were done. Mr. Bussy asked if all the im- <br />provements were done. Mr. MacDonald stated that to his knowledge most of the <br />improvements were done. Mr. Bussy stated he sounds to him like it wasn't all <br />done; when he read the report all the recommendations have the upper and lower <br />people plotted against each other. He asked where the developer holds respon- <br />sibility? Mr. MacDonald advised that the developer has an obligation relative <br />to the people who purchased from him, but the City should not get into the <br />consumer relations. Mr. Bussy asked if the City had a commitment to the resi- <br />dents or to the developer. Mayor Mercer advised it has a commitment to both; <br />all pay taxes and that is who the City has a commitment to. He stated that <br />the staff report states that under the PUD there should have been a homeowners <br />association for all 28 lots; somehow someone did not inform Mr. Bussy that you <br />should have been part of that homeowners association. The City's respon- <br />sibility in that is to provide the public documents if anyone asks the City <br />for that information. Mayor Mercer stated that if Mr. Bussy did not ask the <br />City, the City has no knowledge of who is going to buy that lot so has no way <br />to tell the buyer these are the his responsibilities under the PUD. Mayor <br />Mercer stated he did not know whose responsibility it is to advise the proper- <br />ty buyer of this information. He stated Council is trying to determine what <br />is the fairest and most equitable way to solve this situation from the City's <br />point of view, trying to represent the residents and the developer at the same <br />time. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tom Blynn, Gloria Court, recommended that the ordinance to protect the <br />lower homeowners from the runoff and that the private utility be enforced and <br />that Alternative 2 be approved by the Council. <br /> <br /> Councilmember Brandes stated there have been several comments as to the V- <br />ditches and other engineering requirements that are allegedly attached to the <br />PUD. He asked exactly what the requirements of the PUD were as they related <br />to the drainage set forth in the soils report, and if they are all in place. <br />Mr. Pasquat stated that most of the requirements were met. Mr. MacDonald <br />stated that as a point of clarification all the detailed drainage requirements <br />go on at the time of subdivision, not the PUD. The PUD says you will comply <br />with the soils engineers requirements. Mr. Pasqual pointed out on a display <br />map where the drainage improvements were. He advised the only improvement not <br />completed was a ditch in upper Twelve oaks, and the soils engineer did not <br />make a comment on this. Councilmember Brandes asked if this was a condition <br />of the upper Twelve Oaks subdivision. Mr. Pasqual stated that it is. Mayor <br />Mercer asked if there were conditions on the lower portion. Mr. Pasqual <br />stated the same conditions apply to the lower portion. <br /> <br /> 14 - 1-6-87 <br /> <br /> <br />
