James Dixon, architect for Morley Young, stated his client's home was above these lots and they were strongly opposed to this subdivision. Their reasons included environmental concerns, erosion problems, disruption of vistas. In addition they did not believe the drainage issue had been adequately resolved and the density of this project was too great. Morley Young, 27840 Saddle Court, stated he was definitely not in support of this subdivision nor any other development on this land. He thought drainage was a serious matter and there should be height restrictions. Betsy Bertram, 11854 Page Mill Road, noted that when they subdivided twenty years ago the drainage issues had not been resolved. Tim Chown, 13822 Page Mill Road, commented on the neighbors' concerns about the sanitary sewer easement and storm drain easement along Moon Lane. Dot Schreiner, Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated that the Commission believed the conditions of this subdivision addressed the issues and specifically noted that there were two fire accesses on Moon Lane. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Dauber, seconded by Siegel and passed unanimously to delete the following sentence from condition #5 "No formal gardens may be planted." and to add the following statement to condition #5: "Sensitive planting is required in this area due to the fact that the swale enters a major creek." PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To amend condition #I1 to read: A storm drainage system shall be constructed from the west boundary of the subdivision to Matadero Creek, as designed by Wilsey and Ham consultants and as approved by the City Engineer. The Town shall fund the upper portion of the storm drainage improvements from the existing system on the Anderson property to the Vucinich property. The applicant shall construct the drainage improvements within the subdivision and between the subdivision and Matadero Creek. The applicant shall pay for a prorated share of the engineering costs of the storm drain system equal to the percentage of construction costs which are to be paid for by the applicant. The applicant and the Town shall enter into a ten year reimbursement agreement for the cost of oversizing the system from a 15 inch pipe to a 24 inch pipe and for future connections to the storm drain system, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the City Attorney. Improvements shall be installed prior to recordation of the Final Map or be bonded for. L.. December 7, 1994 �r Regular City Council Meeting
