Mr. Richard Fong, 15470 Vista Serena, oxmented on his two concerns related to the project before Council: drainage and soils movement. %bile he was not against the project, he was relying on the Council's good judgment that these concerns, particularly soils movement, had been properly and adequately addressed. Mary Stutz, Chairman - Pathways Committee suggested that guidelines be developed to prohibit full development of a property by approximately 10% for a two year period. It appeared that on a regular basis, residents who fully developed their property would come back at a later tine for variances.
