MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Warshawsky, seconded by Jones <br /> and passed by the following roll call vote to approve Section (Study Zone) 14 as <br /> recommended by the Planning Commission. <br /> AYES: Mayor O'Malley, Mayor Pro Tem Kerr, Councilmember Jones, <br /> Councilmember Mordo and Councilmember Warshawsky <br /> NOES: None <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> ABSTAIN: None <br /> SECTION(Study Zone) 2 <br /> Chris Vargas, Pathways Chair, explained that there were two areas in this section that had <br /> drawn the most interest. First, AL I where the goal was to eventually connect Saddle <br /> Mountain to Elena Road. Vargas noted that A1.1 was a good and nonintrusive path but <br /> that A1.2 currently specified on the Master Plan, was not good due to privacy issues, <br /> vegetation and steepness. The Pathways Committee preferred A1.3b because it was a <br /> grassy knoll between two properties. He suggested there were other alternative routes <br /> that could be considered to complete this path. The second area that had received the <br /> most resident input was 131.8. The Pathways Committee had not made a recommendation <br /> on this path, however,the Planning Commission, had recommended removal of the path. <br /> Vargas reviewed the proposed future path alignments noted in this section with Council. <br /> OPENED PUBLIC HEARING <br /> • Harry Price, 24616 Summerhill Avenue, spoke on behalf of the Masuda's who reside at <br /> 14313 Saddle Mountain and whose property is surrounded by three paths. He requested <br /> Council support for the Planning Commission's recommendation to remove A1.2. In <br /> addition, Price asked the Council to consider removing A1.3b and to revisit alternative <br /> connectors at a future date. Price noted that the Masuda's did not oppose Al.1 but felt <br /> that their property was unfairly impacted with paths on both sides of the property. He <br /> distributed a petition with signatures supporting his position and a map of the property. <br /> Terrie Masuda, 14313 Saddle Mountain Drive, read a statement into the record opposing <br /> the February 10, 2005 version of the path map. She explained that she was speaking on <br /> behalf of twenty-nine residents who resided on Stirrup Drive, Saddle Mountain Drive and <br /> Saddle Court. Masuda requested removal of A1.2, a portion of A1.3a and A1.3b. She did <br /> not believe any additional paths were necessary in the area because public access to <br /> Saddle Mountain Drive was already available and any additional path would be <br /> redundant. <br /> Dot Schreiner, 14301 Saddle Mountain Drive, identified ALL as a wide easement <br /> through beautiful land. She believed that A1.3a and A1.2 were obtrusive paths and <br /> encouraged the Council to vote for their removal. Schreiner noted that A1.3b put the <br /> burden of two easements on the Masuda property and was unfair. She suggested that <br /> other alternatives be reviewed. <br /> F • <br /> 6 <br /> City Council Special Meeting Minutes <br /> March 8,2005 <br />
