MATTERS CONTINUED FOR DECISION Adoption of Ordinance No. 1221, Approval of PUD-77-10, Applica- tion of Ken Gooch and Associates for a major modification to amend the grading plan for PUD-77-10, Pleasant Hills, to allow regrading of five lots (Intro. 10-1-85, 4-Ayes, 1-Absent) Mayor Mercer stated that Ordinance No. 1221 was introduced on October 1, 1985, by a vote of 4-Ayes, 1-Absent, and that it was now in order to adopt the ordinance. Ms. Carol DiSalvi, 4961 Dolores Drive, stated that one of the trees approved for removal in connection with this application is a vocal point for the Mission Hills Knoll area and is a histori- cal landmark. She stated that the Pleasanton Hills Homeowners obtained the services of another tree consultant. She presented a report from Nelda Matheny, Horticultural Consultant, which states that the tree can be saved with proper treatments and on- going maintenance. Mayor Mercer asked who would pay for the tree maintenance. Ms. DiSalvi stated this can be worked out by the developer and the person who buys the lot. Mr. John Vanderoovart, representing Ken Gooch, stated he has read the report. He commented on the statement that the report advises this tree is "marginally" suitable for preservation be- cause of its relatively poor health. He stated he is willing to spend money to save the tree, however, he is still concerned about legal liability due to the hazardous condition of the tree. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Brandes, and seconded by Councilmember Butler, that Ordinance No. 1221, ap- proval of PUD-77-10, application of Ken Gooch and Associates for a major modification to amend the grading plan for PUD-77-10, Pleasanton Hills, to allow regrading of five lots, and based upon the developer's representation, that the main focal tree be saved and treated as set forth in the tree consultant's report, be adopted.
