Mr. Fialho asked the City Attomey to address two issues: the private road way system in Ruby Hills to the City Park and how liability is addressed in this situation, and the private road way on Golden Eagle to the Ridge that connects to a public park. He would not recommend doing something that is precedent setting if it is not uniform in other locations throughout the City. Mr. Roush noted that the streets in Ruby Hills are private and the City would not accept the liability for any pedestrian incidents that might occur. He noted that the streets in the Golden Eagle development are private and the City has a maintenance agreement with the Association to maintain those streets for the City's share of the public right of way. He pointed out that vehicles as opposed to pedestrians primarily access the streets in the Golden Eagle development. Mr. Brozosky believed there is a 10-foot combined public trail and public utility easement straddling the Bachs' and Bozorgzads' properties. In order for the approval of the Bozorgzads' PUD, has asked if they had to sign an easement for the public trail. Mr. Roush noted that the easement does not straddle the Bachs' and Bozorgzads' properties equally. It was a condition of the PUD that the public trail and public utility easement be granted. Those easements were signed and recorded one year after the PUD was approved. Mr. Brozosky pointed out that the staff report mentioned the Bozorgzads installed and paid for the costs associated with the water line. He asked if the Bachs are required to pay for the sidewalk improvements? Mr. Roush said he was not certain who installed and paid for the water line. Mr. Iserson confirmed that the Bozorgzads installed the water line. The issue of the three party agreement with Greenbriar Homes is murky as there were private negotiations being conducted. It was moved by Mr. Sullivan, seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to introduce Ordinance 1914, an ordinance approving the application of Earl Bach, Karl Bach, Ed Lamb, Sr., and Ed Lamb, Jr. for PUD Development Plan approval, aa filed under Case PUD-42, to include conditions to create safety features to mitigate concerns for pedestrians and bicyclists. Mr. Sullivan appreciated the applicant and staffs efforts in working with the neighbors to minimize visibility issues, particularly with the neighbors on the north side. He was comfortable having the specific house plans reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. in response to an inquiry by Mr. Brozosky, Mr. Iserson said the design review process would occur at the Planning Commission level. Ms. McGovern mentioned that she visited the property. She did not believe the sidewalk is too steep. If Council approves the sidewalk connection between San Carlos Way and Sycamore Terrace, it would be an addition to the neighborhood. Pleasanton City Council 12 03/15/05 Minutes
