SCHEDULED ITEM NO. 1: MATADBRO OAKS TENTATIVE MAP (374-70) 43 lots, 75 acres, west side of Page Mill Road between Mirmirou and Alexis Drive. Engr. Geo. S. Nolte & Assoc. Staff reported that this Tentative Map had been re -reviewed by the Planning Commission in accordance with the Council's desire expressed December 21, 40 1970. At that time, it was noted the applicant had appealed the Commission's action denying their Tentative Map for 44 lots. Since that time the map was modified to 43 lots, the conservation easement had been widened, and two culs-de-sac replaced Circulo Robles. This redesign of the roads incorporated drainage changes to lots #26-28, engineering runoff to the Roble Blanco cul-de-sac instead of flowing down the conservation easement onto Page Mill Road. In their approval recommendation, the Planning Commission stipulated many conditions which included that this map be reduced to 41 lots by the elimina- tion of one lot from the tier of lots #34 through #42 and one lot from the tier of lots #5 through #10. Speaking to the Check List, the applicant's engineer stated Land Resources was in basic agreement except for minor changes to provide clarification of intent, but areas of concern included Additional Conditions #1 and #2 which specified the deletion of two lots, and Condition #2 (e), under Roads, which involved redesign of Roble Blanco. The applicant preferred that the road design be as shown on their Tentative Map dated January 8, 1971, but if redesign was desired that the Check List specifically state the redesign desired and that it not then require resubmittal to the Planning Commission for approval. Council concurred with the following changes to the recommended Check List dated January 12, 19714 -2-
