/ Councilmember Kephart requested that the Staff Traffic Committee investigate the traffic problems at the intersection of Valley and Mansen. Mayor Mercer presented the Information Report of the Director of Public Works (IR 81:24) regarding an amendment to the Prudential Grading Permit, which would allow a permanent crossing rather than a temporary crossing of the relocated Chabot/ Hewlitt Canal. The conditions of the original grading permit required such tempo- rary crossing. The crossing will become a part of Stoneridge Drive. Councilmember Butler stated that in connection with this, the City of Livermore has requested of LAVWMA that two crossings of the Livemore Interceptor Sewer Line be redone. Mayor Mercer recessed the meeting at 9:55 P.M. Mayor Mercer reconvened the meeting at 10:00 P.M. Discussion of RAP Committee Recommendations Mr. Walker stated that two joint meetings had been held between the City Council and the RAP Review Committee to study and consider the recommendations suggested by the Committee. Councilmember Kephart stated he felt the Residential Allocation Program should be dissolved and that sewer permits be issued on a first-come, first-serve basis. He stated that he felt RAP was tainted, and that a completely new method should be considered. Council discussed possible amendments to the Residential Allocation Program ordinance to handle the remaining phased projects under the existing RAP. The City Attorney outlined the procedure necessary for the elimination of the Residential Allocation Program ordinance, stating that the Zoning Ordinance and perhaps the General Plan would have to be amended to remove RAP, and the process would take two-three months. In the meantime, alternative procedures could be considered. Councilmember Butler stated that any alternative procedures would not affect the 2% growth rate and population guidelines. Council discussion ensued regarding the competitive aspect. Councilmember Mohr stated she did not feel RAP should be dissolved until an alternative method can be agreed upon for the allocation of sewer permits. Council- member Wood concurred. Mayor Mercer stated that RAP has been costly to the price of housing, and has slowed down the permit process. Councilmember Butler stated that the original purpose of RAP was to handle the major commitments to the settlement agreement, and the concerns about infilling and missing links; and that these needs no longer exist. After considerable discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Kephart, and seconded by Mayor Mercer, that Resolution No. 81-286,. directing staff to prepare the necessary ordinance changes.and documentation to dissolve the Residential Allocation Program, be adopted. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Butler, Kephart, and Mayor Mercer NOES: Councilmembers Mohr and Wood ABSENT: None · 10. 8/25/81
