MEETING OPEN TO Tt!E PUBLIC Mr. James Griffin, 3036 Chardonnay, speaking on behalf of the Vintage Hills Home- owners Association, stated this group feels that the Pang Report on the Vineyard Avenue Traffic Study is not accurate, stating that the traffic figures are the lowest that have been presented in the last seven years. He stated he had personally conducted a traffic count during peak morning and evening hours which reveal a much higher traffic count. He requested that a more accurate report, with alternatives, be considered be- fore approval of any further development along the Vineyard Avenue corridor. Mr. War- nick stated he felt the Pang Report is as accurate as can be, considering the number of assumptions that must be taken into account. He advised that one developer had contracted with three traffic engineers, and the findings are that traffic is not as bad as projected. Mr. Harris advised that the Pang Report on Vineyard Avenue traffic will be considered by the Planning Commission along with two proposed developments for this area. Council took no action on the Vineyard Avenue Traffic Study report, thus allowing it to go through the Planning Commission procees and back to Council for further consideration. Mr. Richard Rathert, 3171 Chardonnay Drive, presented pictures showing a 15 ft. high structure in the back yard adjacent to his property which obstructs his view and invades his privacy. He stated there is no City ordinance to protect his rights in this matter. He requested Council to consider a change to the code that would prevent this situation from happening in the future. Council instructed staff to prepare a report regarding this matter for consideration by Council at a meeting in the near future. After further discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Brandes, and seconded by Councilmember Wood, instructing staff to investigate the possibility of the City en- forcing the CC&R's of a development, and report back to Council. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Mohr, Wood, and Vice Mayor Mercer NOES: None ABSENT: Mayor Butler Mr. Frank Belecky, 892 Madeira Drive, stated it appears the developer of the pro- perty at Bernal Avenue and Vineyard Avenue is stripping all the trees of the land. Vice Mayor Mercer instructed staff to investigate this matter. 3/m3/84
