Gary Deaner, 11665 Dawson Drive, commented that the Juan Prado Mesa Preserve �, was an asset to the entire community and he was quite concerned about the impact on the oaks and other trees of laying a sewer line. Harry Emerzian, 11670 Dawson Drive, referred to the area as it was when they moved in many years ago and stated that he wanted to see the open space remain as it now was. Dr. Howard Martin, 11666 Dawson Drive, noted that he had donated a path to the Town for access to the preserve but this specifically did not allow vehicular traffic. Hale Creek has been dry since 1986 and there has been no pumping out of water since Mr. Vidovich has been filling the lake. Dr. Martin was quite concerned about the infrastructure of the proposed sewer line and presented a diagram on the potential results of a gravity flow sewer line. He noted that the damage done to the environment from sewer lines was mainly from the detergents. He did not believe the cost of a lift pump was great and would be of benefit to the entire community. Dr. Martin supported the Planning Commission's recommendation. The following residents spoke in favor of using Stonebrook only as an emergency access: Carol Johnson, 10955 Magdalena; Belinda and Ken Shoemaker, 10925 Stonebrook; and Ed Carlstone, 10921 Stonebrook. They addressed the safety and stability issues as well as the legal road status of Stonebrook (public?/ private?). They ` also noted that the environmental impact report was done based on Stonebrook as an emergency access road only and if this was changed they believed this report should be redone. Walter Gregorwich, 12370 Priscilla, and Mary Silver, 24840 Prospect, supported opening Stonebrook to Magdalena. They were experiencing increased traffic due to the increased building of homes in their neighborhood and thought it only right that the impact of increased traffic be shared. Les Earnest, Chairman - Pathways Committee, stated that if Stonebrook was made an emergency access he would request a separate easement for pathways. John Vidovich, applicant, noted that the Town generally had gravity flow sewer lines and he did not think this sewer system would have a negative impact on the community. He also thought the long term cost of a lift station should be considered. Mr. Vidovich stated that the existing path could be used for the sewer and not a paved road. On the subject of Stonebrook, Mr. Vidovich strongly supported using Stonebrook only as an emergency access. To do otherwise, he felt encouraged traffic and would have a serious detrimental affect on this project. Referring to the condition requiring the elimination of lots 20 and 21, Mr. Vidovich did not believe this was equitable. He met all of the Town's requirements and believed these two lots should remain. October 30, 1995 Adjourned Regular Meeting
