CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - December 1, 1982 E. SPECIAL ORDERS: Item 3b) subarea Plan/Chaparral Way/General Plan (continued): Tim Sandia, applicant's engineer, stated that in his opinion the mitigating measures were not needed; the conditions were already required by State Law and by the Tam's Ordinances. Ton McReynolds, 26045 Moody Road, asked that the Council proceed with caution. He expressed concerns that proposed changes were being considered which appeared to relate only to one lot and that no specific study appeared to have been done. The City Planner referred to the 11/23/82 planning commission report which included their recomiendation to add Standard #13 as follows: "In the event that any current or future owner of an existing property within this subarea, as of this date, shall apply to the Town for Site Development Approval, as permitted by Zoning regulations in Section 9-5., of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code, not requiring further sub- division of the property, then the proposed development shall be exempt from the following standards: 7, 8, and 10. If further subdivision is required then such exemption shall not apply." The City Planner then referred to the 12/1/82 staff report which recauenled the addition of standard #13 to read as follows: "In the event that any current or future owner of an existing property within this subarea, as of this date, shall apply to the Tom for site Development Approval, as permitted by Zoning regulations in Section 9-5., of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code, not requiring further sub- division of the property, then the Planning Ccnmission may exenpt the proposed development from the following standards: 7, 8 and 10. If further subdivision is required then such exemption shall not apply. " The following was also included in the staff reccmTendations: "If a proposed developx t is exempt, the following items must be completed prior to issuance of any permits: 1) An assurance by a Soils Engineer that the proposed development will not cause unstable soils conditions. 2) A storm drainage and erosion control plan to insure increased surface water or sediment will not occur on downstream properties. and 3) An Agreement, recorded with the Santa Clara County Clerk, that requires the owner to connect to and par- ticipate financially in storm drain and sewer facilities when they are installed." Tim Sardis, applicant's engineer, gave a brief history of the Horton's attempts to develop their land and requested Council to approve the Planning Commission recommendation before then. Planning Conudssion Fa presentative Carico explained the amend ants to the General Plan which were required before Horton development could proceed and Michael Stewart, Planning Commissioner, noted that the Site Development for the Horton property had gone before the full Planning Commission and they were recommending to Council that the subarea plan be an�nied. Council then held a discussion on the recommendations before them and the following issues were addressed: possibility of an assessment district; drainage - water should flow in natural course to natural basin; possibility of allowing the Horton to proceed with their plans while the subarea plan was being corrected and/or better defined. Allison also requested staff to report on who was hooked up to the sewer lines in the Tanglewood Subdivision and haw much had been paid. van Tamelen noted that conservation easements which were called for were not on the site development e plans and asked the Planning Camussion to look into this. 1112
