especially at night and which had disrupted mail service for the last ten days. Mr. `r Sims recommended burying the drainage pipe and reevaluating the project. Council agreed that this issue would be agendized for the January 8th meeting with the Roads and Drainage Committee being asked for their input. Casey also asked why the neighbors were not notified of such projects being done by the Town. A similar situation had been the tree planting on Altamont. Mr. Jim Reed, 10779 Magdalena, stated that as a result of this project his property would experience a lot more drainage. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS 6.1 Request for approval of a negative declaration and tentative map for a lot consolidation subdivision, Lands of Micko, Kingsley Avenue The Planning Director's staff report dated 12/19/90 noted that this was a request to assemble ten small existing lots into one lot of less than one acre. The original lots were created in 1913 and the land was flat. The Planning Commission recommended denial of this request based on their inability to make the findings for the necessary conditional exceptions. {, Mr. Micko, applicant, addressed the Council concerning his proposed project. He noted that he had been a resident of the Town from 1974 to 1987 and he was a strong supporter of the one-acre minimum zoning. Mr. Micko commented on the maximum development areas of the lots, the building site circles, the view corridors and an incentive plan by deed restriction for any present or future owners regarding development and the purchase of additional lots. Mr. Micko believed it was a good project and comments from both agencies and staff had been favorable. He asked Council to grant the conditional exceptions but if they had any questions or needed more information, he encouraged them to continue this item and visit the site themselves. Mr. Micko also noted that the property was in escrow pending approval of the lot consolidation. Mr. Albert Henley, 26131 Taaffe Road, stated his belief this consolidation could be granted. The system allowed for special circumstances. He commented on the reasons behind the incorporation of the Town and believed he understood what these were as he was an original founder of the Town. The purpose of incorporation was not to keep people out who really wanted to live in the Town but rather to retain local rules rather than being regulated by the County. Mr. Henley commented that Mr. Micko had presented a good plan to the Council; he had worked within the Code and he had earned the Council's support. This was a unique situation. December 19, 1990 5
