Town Planner Kenneth Pastrof reviewed the reasons for the floratorium and related those reasons to the applicant's property, with emphasis on cuts and fills-, and the general topographical layout of the 13+ acre parcel. Commissioner Perkins expressed concern that the exemption request appeared on the Planning Commission agenda preceding a public hearing on the OPEN SPACE ELE- MENT -HISTORICAL SITES. City Manager Crowe stated that designation of historical sites, if any, are addressed at the Tentative Map stage of property development, that the Rossi's exemption request was distinctly separate from the public hear- ing on the Open Space Element, and that the appearance of the two items on the same agenda was coincidental. Speaking from the floor, Dexter Ahlgren, engineer for the applicants, stated all inputs had been made by himself and the applicants, and neither had any more to add to the Commission's information. Commissioner Carico, referencing the April 8, 1976, letter to the Planning Commis- sioners fron the City Manager regarding procedures following exemption approval, and referencing the past actions of the Planning Commission when the property was known as the LANDS OF COSTELLO (i.e., request for an Environmental Impact Report on the property) stated she would prefer to continue this exemption request. 4-71 The applicant had agreed, through his engineer, in a letter of Play 18, 1976, to adhere to the proposed Subdivision Ordinance, should exemption be granted.
