IVISIONS OF LAND: TENTATIVE MAPS:
1. Fawler, Lands of (376-71) 3 lots, Roble Alto Court, 5+ acres. Engt. J. Clegg.
City Manager reviewed that this property, surrounded on three sides by Land
Resources Coporation, is provided access through their pending subdivision,
Matadero Oaks, and reviewed the proposed check list.
Commission discussion noted that Lot C should not have direct access to Mirmirou
and added this requirement to the check list.
MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Commissioner Lachenbruch moved, seconded by Spencer
and carried unanimously that the Tentative Map (376-71) Lands of Fowler, be
recommended to the Council for approval in accordance with the check list dated
May 10, 1971.
PI
2. Inness, Lands of (379-71) 2 lots, 2.4 net acre, corner of Altamont and Page
Mill Roads. Engr. M. W. Wolff.
Staff noted that this property near Altamont and Page Mill Roads contains 2.4 net
acres; that the applicant wished to subdivide into two building sites, and therefore
a Conditional Exception was requested because slope density requires 2.5 acres and
there are only 2.4 acres.
Commission discussion amended the check list to clarify the conditional exception
permitting the 1/10 acre variation in lot size required by slope density. It was
noted that the variation of 1/10 acre is very small and that the 2.4 acre parcel was
created in 1957 which predated the Slope Density Ordinances No. 149 and 150. Also,
this parcel was a very small part of that transaction.
MOTION, SECONDED And carried; Commissioner Spencer moved, seconded by Lachenbruch
and carried by majority vote (McReynolds opposing) that it be recommended to the
Council he
