j E. PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) : Mr. Edward Willi , 24855 Prospect Avenue, commented, that in his opinion, the EIR was inadequate regarding the traffic issue. The traffic on El Monte and Stonebrook was quite backed up now and certainly would be increased with new developments being built. Mr. Jay Levinson, 11683 Dawson, commented on the emergency access road between his property and his neighbors . They had been required to improve this road and now it was used by equestrians , pedestrians , etc. To alleviate some of the problems they had incurred, they had placed a fence on the road. He foresaw some problems with this proposed subdivision specifically regarding the safety and privacy issues. It was agreed staff would investigate the placement of this fence on an emergency access road and that the City Attorney would respond on whether or not all emergency access roads were paths. Mrs. Carol Gottlieb, 24290 Summerhill , stated that emergency access roads are paths and that in Mr. Levinson' s case the paths had inadvertently been omitted from the final map and put on at a later time. Mr. Iry Kaplan, Dawson, noted that he was a neighbor of Mr . Levinson and at the time nothing was said about paths. The Fire Department advised them what improvements needed to be made to the road and the cost was $15 ,000 . He further noted that the Fire Department advised 111)11W them that the fence was permissible as long as it could be cut by the Fire Department in an emergency. Ken Pastrof , Tod Properties , asked if the City Attorney could research the liability of paths and emergency access roads . Mrs . Mary Stutz , 25310 Elena Road, commented on the neary fines used for emergency access roads . Ms. Helen St.Martin, Priscilla Lane, stated that her main concern was the traffic on Stonebrook and Priscilla. Mrs. Dot Schreiner, Pathways, Recreation and Parks Committee, noted that the Council had just received revised comments from the committee on this subdivision. Mrs. Schreiner commented that the residents in the area were concerned about retaining the paths and trails in the area and she further stated that the developer, Mr. Carter, had been very cooperative regarding the path issue. Mrs .
