Mr. Lew, Assistant Planner, elaborated on the report and presented slides as follows: (1) ownerships and acreages showing residence locations; (2) current general plan land use designations; (3) location of recent actions; (4) existing street cir- culation as well as streets under construction. Mr. Lew reviewed the seven recom- mendations listed at the conclusion of the report and the reasons for the recommen- dations. Planning Commissioner Getty asked if there is a need for the five acre park. Mr. Lew advised it is necessary because of the proposed high density residential planned for this area. Planning Commissioner Lindsey asked why Trenery Drive was selected over Cameron for the main traffic pattern. Mr. Lew advised that Trenery Drive is the key element in tying in with Rheem Drive. Mr. Lindsey asked why Trenery Drive had to be opened up on Santa Rita Road. Mr. Lew advised this allowed flexibility for further develop- ment and also provided emergency vehicle access. Planning Commissioner Doherty asked if the seven lots recently annexed would be developed in less than one acre lots. Mr. Lew stated they could be developed with less than one acre lots or could be slightly more, depending on the plan. Mayor Butler declared the meeting open to the public for their comments regard- ing the Mohr/Martin 'planning area. Don Cooper, Peregrine Way, representing Bob and Donna Cooper on Trenery Drive, read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Cooper expressing their opposition to the use of Trenery Drive as a major access road and stating they felt it is an invasion of their privacy, would cause the removal of many heritage trees, and would ruin the rural atmosphere of the area. They requested that Trenery Drive be a cul-de-sac and that the lot sizes be compatible with lots already in the area.
