CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - July 18, 1979 C. SPECIAL REPORTS: (Continued) (, 4. Presentations from the Floor: Letter to Mr. Pfendt (Continued) lasting and will not present maintenance problems in the future. To this end we lean heaviliy on the judgement of our City Engineer. I have personally had opportunity to inspect the drainage culvert you installed at the entrance to Golden Hill Court and I was appalled at the gross elevation mis-alignments. I have, therefore, instructed the City Manager, the City Engineer and the City Attorney to review the Tentative Map, the Final Map and the Subdivision Agreement to ensure conformance between these several documents, the State law and the other subdivision improvements in the field. As you know, the law requires conformance and, if substantial non-conformance or error is found, corrective action will be necessary. Thank you for calling this to my attention." Mr. Pfendt, A l5 t/Astra Estates, responded that: 1) The elevation/drainage problems existe before the subdivision process began; 2) An energy dissipator is needed at the end of the culvert which, with cooperation, could be easily installed; 3) His solutions have not been accepted or treated fairly; and 4) He feels that his project is being inten- tionally sabotaged by the Town. Councilmembers stressed the need for the applicant to meet again with Staff and work out these problems, that this argumentative discourse was not productive and, finally, ruled Mr. Pfendt out of order when accusations persisted without resolve.
