NOES: Councilmember Johnson
3.2 Request for approval of a negative declaration and tentative map for a
proposed four lot subdivision of 9.45 acres, Lands of LeFevre, south side
of Altamont Road and east of Julietta Lane
Mr. Cleary, 26410 Altamont Road, stated that he now concurred with the
recommendation from the Pathways Committee that the path go from Eshner Court
to Silent Hills Lane. Mr. Cleary also supported the Planning Commission's
recommendation that there be a 50' setback so lie and his wife could have a buffer
capacity for landscaping.
Lynne Miller, 27320 Julietta Lane, stated her opposition to the path being put along
their property on Julietta. She was quite concerned about the impact on their
property as far as view and privacy were concerned. They would be unable to block
- off this path without losing their view. She felt this was quite an emotional issue
and definitely was one of safety.
Mr. LeFevre, applicant, concurred with the proposed pathway location. On the
subject of the setbacks, however, he felt that 50' was excessive. This was not a
requirement ordinarily imposed and he showed pictures of the Cleary's lot to
substantiate his comments. Regarding the driveway, Mr. LeFevre believed the issue
of the lights could be addressed by landscaping and it was unnecessary to shift the
driveway.
PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To state in condition #19 that the applicant shall be
responsible for continuity of access and utility service at the Cleary property
throughout all phases of construction and until completion and acceptance of all
construction improvements.
MOTION SECONDED AND FAILED: Moved by Casev, seconded by Johnson and
failed by the following roll call vote to approve the 40easterly side setback for Lot 2.

MOTION SECONDED AND PASSED: Moved by Siegel, seconded by Casey and
passed by the following roll call vote to approve a 50' easterly side setback for Lot 2.
