Letter re- quested the Council to consider leaving Westwind Way a private road, to be_maintained by him, purchasers of the three proposed 'homesitess and -Dr. Philbrick. In a letter, dated May 11 , 1962, Dr. Gurdon S. Pulford, requested per- mission to postpone the improvement of Westwind Way and the improve- ment of the drainage area of Westwind Way east of the private cul de sac until the acreage is further subdivided. Total estimated cost of improvements , estimated by John W. Riley, En- gineer, is $33 ,971 . Mr. Longmire, City Engineer, commented on the drainage problems now existent , and stated that they would be increased with improvement of Westwind Way, but stated that it was his opinion that the drainage improvements should be required at this time. After discussion, the Council proposed that Mr. Melchor be required to improve Concepcion Rd. , abutting the property, improve Westwind Way up to the entrance of the cul de sac , that Westwind Way and the cul de sac remain private roads , that the drainage improvements be constructed as required by the City Engineer; that these improvements be dedicated to the Town; that full improvement to La Paloma and the remainder of Westwind Way and the dedication of Westwind Way as a public road be required at such time as the remainder of the land of Melchor is subdivided. Deputy Mayor Sherlock declared a three minute recess (9 :00 P. M. ).e . The Meeting reconvened at 9 :05 P. M. Mr. Melchor stated that he was agreeable to this proposal , but ques tioned whether or not building permits could be obtained by owners of the four sites . City Attorney gave his opinion that to deviate from the Subdivision Ordinance, one of three alternatives were possible--(1) Amend the Ordinance , (2) Subdivide under provisions of Sec. III , Subsec. 3 :40 which would allow no building permits, (3) Subdivide under the pro- visions of Sec . VII , which would require referral back to the Plan- ning Commission for Public Hearing and recommendation. In view of the element of time involved and the desire to proceed with construction of four homes , Mr. Melchor requested permission to con- sider the proposal. ACTION: That the Tentative Map of Jack Melchor (223-62) 5 lots be re- ferred back to the Planning Commission for fez consideration as a conditional exception, recommending that Westwind Way and the cul de sac be private roads; that Concepcion Avenue be improved , with paths . constructed; that both ends of Westwind Way be dedi- cated as necessary for the construction of adequate drainage facilities, and subject to the opinion of the Fire Chief. MOTION: Aiken; SECOND: Fowle ;
