City'Attorney Matthew Hudson stated the request by Qantas Development-was to go ahead with rough grading before any improvement plans are approved. The.approval would come at the final map stage and the Council.is nowhere near making a decision on this action. In this instance, the developer would be taking the risk, as everything would be contingent upon the rough grading meeting the specifications in the final im- provement plans. Mr. Jon Joslyn, representing Qantas Development Corporation, was present in the - audience and said they would -accept.'the October 12 date; however, they would like to make a,..,contract'with the grading firm. He felt the minor changes could be worked out -no later than Wednesday, October 6.

One, to rezone, the area STREET-- E'AQUINTA, 'to 40,000 sq. ft. and permit private'streets. The City - 800 BODEGA AVENUE + should then.continue to control easement locations and RES #7546: NCS the placement of homes. He further suggested any future. (Continued) proposal for a higher density should -be considered on its own merit. His second proposal was to rezone the area in accordance with Plan "F ", i.e., 20,000 sq. ft. and 10,.000 sq. ft. lots. This rezoning would require public streets to provide access to the rear sections of the property. In addition, Mr. Hall stated Plan -- "F" would conform generally with- the,Environmental Design Plan and provide density of 2.2 units per gross acre, or 177 units for the entire area. Planning Commission.Resolution 18 -76, recommending approval of the private street, and adopted by the Planning Commission on August 17, 1976, submitted and filed. A general - discussion was then held regarding revising the Bodega Avenue Area Study.and bringing.back to the Council for consideration proposals to rezone the area. When asked by Councilman Mattei why he recommended the 40,000 sq. - ft. instead of 20i000.sq. ft,, Planning Director Ronald Hall stated the only reason is because the City does-not have an ultimate decision of the.people in the area. Mayor Putnam asked what procedure would be necessary to get the matter back before the City Council.and City Attorney Matthew Hudson advised the Council would need to give direction to the'Planning Commission for its review. On the issue.before them at this meeting regarding the private street, Mr. Hudson stated by limiting the'lots in the.Eaquinta Subdivision to 40,000 sq. ft., the Council "is not bound on the zoning in the entire area. At the conclusion.of the discussion, Resolution #7546 N.C.S. approving private street (Joseph- Eaquinta; 800 Bodega Avenue, A.P. #06- 470 - 09) was introduced by Councilman Harberson, seconded by Councilman Hilligoss, and adopted by 4 affir- mative, 2 negative and.l absentee. votes. Councilmen Cavanagh and Mattei voted "no ".' of the private street is contingent upon'the access -to only three lots, none of which shall be smaller than 40,000 sq.* ft. APPROVE TENTATIVE This matter was held from the September 20, 1976 Council MAP- -CASA DE ARROYO meeting in order to determine whether a park was to be UNIT'4�1 placed the subdivision . or - the City would accept in- FQ1 RES 47547 NCS lieu - fees for park development. The developer, Gary Stokes, had met with Recreation Director Jim Raymond. Mr. Raymond-indicated he preferred to have the in -lieu fees rather than a park.area designated in either Unit #1 or #2 of the Casa de Arroyo Subdivisions. Mr. Raymond indicated 126 units would:not create suffi- cient revenue to build neighborhood park in the area, and there would also be, the problem of maintenance for a park. There was some discussion regarding development on the easterly side of Old Lakeville Highway; however, it was felt this development would not-be in the near future. The Council concurred with the acceptance of the in -lieu fees rather than park development in the area, and Resolution #7547 N.C.S. approving tentative subdivision map of Casa de Arroyo Unit #1 was introduced by Councilman Perry, seconded by Councilman Hilligoss, and adopted by 6 affirmative and 1 absentee votes.
