F. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. LANDS OF MCCULLOCH, FILE TM #4-87, Stonebrook and Prospect, request for tentative map approval and certificate of adequacy of final environmental impact report for a thirty-two lot subdivision --- Resolution approving tenative map (continued from last meeting) Council had before them the staff report dated 9/29/88 from the Planning Director which included the recommendation of approval of the Lands of McCulloch project subject to certain conditions. Mayor Johnson presented some of his concerns related to this project which included the following: density, height of proposed homes , configuration of roads and noise. Concerning the issue of noise, Johnson suggested that an evaluation of the mitigation measures for IOW noise be undertaken after the kemes--err*put in and if the problem of noise is not mitigated the lots be cemov d from the subdivision. *berms and fences were (AMENDED BY COUNCIL 10/19/ ) Lee Patmore, 27650 Central Drive, noted that she was addressing the Council both as a member of the Planning Commission and as someone who has worked with noise elements of environmental impact reports for ten years . She referred to the draft environmental impact report and stated that 60 dB Ldn was a reasonable limit. Mrs. Patmore also noted that Lots 8 , 9 , 10, 11 and 12 would block some of the noise to the other lots. She recommended that this subdivision be conditioned as was the Lands of Currie to read: ' The owner shall dedicate a human habitation setback limit on the final map to follow the 60 dB Ldn noise contour line, as measured on each lot in accordance with the standards determined by the City Engineer and results found acceptable to the City Engineer. ' Mrs. Patmore stated that she did believe the environmental impact report was inadequate because it did not address satisfactorily the noise issue. Walter Gregorwich, 12370 Priscilla Lane, supported Mrs. Patmore ' s statements and referred to a report that had been done in 1974 which mentioned over 70 dB Ldn in the areas under discussion. Mr. David Poole, representing Edward L. Pack Associates , explained the impacts of different noise levels, 55-60 dB - 70-75 dB, and how certain levels can have psychological effects. Mr. Poole also addressed the mitigation measures proposed for lots 8 , 9, 10 and 11. Mr. iir Russ Carter, applicant, also addressed the noise issue with particular reference to lots 6 , 8 , 11 and 12. -4- 10/5/88 F. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) : Mr. Robert Saxe , applicant ' s attorney, noted that there were several other issues to be addressed concerning this project, such as traffic, pathways and the proposed condition that parcels A and B be a part of the subdivision. He reiterated his statements that he did not believe this condition was appropriate. Mr. Donald Dean, representing EIP Associates , stated that the proposed Quarry Project had been included in the traffic analysis done for Lands of McCulloch and the conclusion was that there was not a significant impact on traffic. If the Quarry Project was approved, there would no longer be truck traffic . They also did not recommend any improvement to the traffic signal at Stonebrook and El Monte. Mary Ellen Silver, Prospect, stated that she lived across the street from the proposed subdivision and she believed there was a real traffic problem and there should be another stop sign. Mrs . Silver noted there were bikers, joggers , pedestrians , equestrians in addition to the car traffic. Mrs. Silver asked EIP at what time they took their survey and she was advised that the survey was taken on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 19 & 20 , 1987 between 7 : 45 and 8 : 45 a.m. , noon and 1 : 00 p.m. , and 5 : 15 and 6 : 15 p.m. Maynard Stevenson, 24785 Prospect, disagreed with the recommendations from EIP Associates. He believed there should be another access possibly off Magdalena. Walter Gregorwich, 12370 Priscilla, also asked if a Magdalena access had been considered and EIP stated that it had not; all traffic had been counted coming from Stonebrook. Mr. Gregorwich also stated that drainage was a serious issue to be addressed regarding this project. Doni Hubbard, 25228 La Loma, also commented on her concerns regarding traffic. The road now was dangerous and she never thought such large projects would be approved without additional improvements to the road and stop signs. Rick Slevin, Priscilla, stated that he had lived in Town for about 1 1/2 years and the road was noisy now and would be much worse with an additional subdivision. Cindy Hettinger, Priscilla, stated that she thought the intersection at El Monte and Stonebrook needed to be improved to allow for the additional traffic . Christine Cole, 23219 Ravensbury, inquired whether the increased noise on Stonebrook had been considered as well as that on 280 from additional traffic and she was informed that it had. Dot Schreiner, Pathways Recreation and Parks Committee, referred to the modified recommendation from their committee concerning the pathways and asked for clarification of where the additional access would go on the property. Mr. Carter, applicant, noted that the access to El Monte was a possible pathway and lots 1 and 2 provided an existing potential for pathways . Mr. Carter also stated that the 411/ -5- 10/5/88 F. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) : issues raised in Mr. Nash' s (Wilsey & Ham) earlier letter on the subdivision had been addressed. Mr. Bob Stutz , Pathways Recreation and Parks Committee, pointed out that there was an existing four wheel path on the Lands of McCullough which connected to the Town-owned lands . Carol Gottlieb, 24290 Summerhill , commented that this path would give the residents a loop through the Town-owned property and it was a beautiful , rural area to enjoy. Mr. Carter, applicant, commented that this path was acceptable and that the issues of liability, maintenance, erosion, etc. were all workable matters. Denis Hollwedel , 12360 Priscilla, expressed his concern about the drainage issue and asked the Council if they were familiar with the problem and satisfied that the conditions addressed this issue. Mr. Warren Whaley, applicant' s engineer, explained that they were currently designing an interceptor on the property and the City Manager stated that all the water was being contained in the subdivision; there would be no increase of water on Priscilla. The City Attorney referred to the inclusion of parcels A and B in the subdivision. He noted that although a former city manager had issued certificates of compliance, this was not an appropriate way to create lots. The owners of these parcels could not be forced to enter into the subdivision at this time. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel , seconded by van Tamelen and passed unanimously to direct the City Attorney to prepare a condition stating that the owners of parcels A and B as shown on the tentative map and the developer shall enter into an agreement providing that the subdivider shall install all improvements required for the subdivision also on parcels A and B at developer' s expense, the form of which agreement shall be submitted to the Town for its review and approval prior to filing of the final map and upon approval of the improvement agreement, parcels A and B may be eliminated from the final map. Casey commented on the emergency access road and stated she did not believe this should be a pathway. She referred to the comments made by Mr. Jay Levinson and Mr. Iry Kaplan, both of Dawson Drive, at the 9/21/88 Council Meeting on the history of this emergency access road/path between their properties. Casey supported their statements that this path did not connect anywhere and was an intrusion on their privacy. In addition they stated that they had paid for the improvements to the emergency access road but had had no knowledge that it was also to be a pathway. -6- 10/5/88 F. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) : Jean Struthers, 13690 Robleda; Judy Carico, 25311 O' Keefe; Dot Schreiner, Pathways Recreation and Parks Committee and Doni Hubbard, 25228 La Loma strongly supported keeping the path at this location. Although the City Attorney stated that ' fire access roads were limited to that purpose ' , it was noted that the original intent was that this access road was a pathway and it had always been understood to be policy that emergency access roads were pathways. MOTION FAILED DUE TO LACK OF A SECOND: Moved by Casey to delete condition #7: ' The developer shall dedicate a pathway easement coincident with the emergency access easement between Lots 15 and 16. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Johnson to go past the 11: 30 p.m. hour of adjournment.

'Bobbie Dolton, Northwoods Properties, I wasn't planning to speak tonight hut I happen to be one of those who went up on the hill and got the signatures and I can tell you we didn't know one person up there. We went up as a neighbor and we asked then to look at this house. We brought the model with us and no one teal led it a disneyland house. We may make a profit frau building a house but we put a lot of care into our homes. We also landscape pletely and we do build the pools. We aren't asking for pool sites. We build the pool. We showed the people as you can see on the model where the pool world sit. The way that we plan to cover the pool with the landscaping. We had nothing but good oonnents fnxn the people around. I really feel these people are the neighbors and the reason that we went there in the beginning was because Mr. Kaufman told us to picture }ow our house would look frau Matadero Creek in his opening tirade on us. And so we did go to these neighbors who look at us and that's why we went and I think they do count. Thank you. '
