PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) : ihr 2 . LANDS OF DEL MONTE PROPERTIES, FILE TM #5-85 , Three Forks Lane, request for approval of a negative declaration and tentative map for a five-lot subdivision The Planning Consultant referred to the 3/23/87 staff report on the Lands of Del Monte Properties which addressed the issues of drainage, conservation easement, design of the Matadero Creek crossing and visual and aesthetic impacts and included the Planning Commission' s recommendation that a negative declaration for the project be approved and the tentative map be approved subject to the conditions of ap- proval . Mr. Paul Nowak, applicant ' s civil engineer, noted that they were in agreement with most of the conditions before Council . However, they were requesting relief from the conservation easement for Lot #1 , did not agree with a bridge design for the Matadero Creek crossing, asked that condition 6 .F. relating to design of homes not apply to two of the lots and addressed the major issue of drainage . ( Mr. Roland VonHuene , 13500 South Fork Lane, was concerned that condi- tion S .F. relating to drainage improvements was too open. He noted that while the creek at one time had been stable, it had now eroded 1 after the storms of 1982 and the construction on Country Way and Matadero Creek. Mr. Paul Reneau, 13149 Byrd Lane, commented that in early conversa- tions with the developer for these lots, the neighbors were assured that none of the houses would be over a certain square footage. Mr. Reneau also noted that the Town' s General Plan specifically states that the Matadero Creek area will be a low density rural area. Mr. Wallace Stegner, 13456 South Fork Lane, made the general statement that the neighbors were unanimously opposed to this project. It was just too much density for the area. Mr. Stegner further stated that there should be some control over the size of the houses and a storm drain was a necessity. Dr. Christina Green, 13460 South Fork Lane, concurred with the other comments made by neighbors and reiterated that she wanted the neigh- borhood to remain rural . Donna and Paul Prudence, 13452 South Fork Lane, supported an un- derground storm drain and noted that their engineer, Tim Sandis, had differing opinions from Mr. Nowack on several issues. They were agree- able to granting easements if it were done properly. Specifically, Mrs. Prudence stated she wanted the area to remain rural and wanted no more concrete in the neighborhood. -4-
