PUBLIC HEARING
II. LAMMA GROODY; APPEAL OF CONDITIONS IMPOSED ON TENTATIVE
PARCEL MAP; AP NO. 019-232-004; FILE NO. PCL93004.
Consideration of an appeal by property owner Lamma Groody of a condition
imposed on the project requiring the project proponent reimburse the City for the
cost of street frontage improvements.
The following actions are requested:
1. A determination that the project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA.
2. Approval of a Tentative Parcel Map with amended conditions.
The public hearing was opened.
SPEAKERS:
Principal Planner James McCann presented background on the project.
Lamma Groody - 1010' Phillips Ave. Applicant - Staff has been very gracious, helpful; when
City requested her to sign approval (.construction access agreement) to allow construction
of frontage improvements, no reimbursement obligation was mentioned; met with Assistant
City Manager Warren'Salmons, he offered to reduce original bill (to exclude design costs)
and allow deferred billing until lots are sold; would like she and three children to build
homes on this property; pays taxes to City, should consider increased taxable value of
property toward repayment of the costs; it would be ust to waive this fee as an act of justice
or of mercy; has made many improvements to site much more attractive /cleaned up than
when she purchased it).
Commission Discussion Council should rule on this appeal since it deals with fiscal
questions; since Ms. Groody knew of this requirement and it is customary to charge
developers for public improvements, this charge is equitable and should be paid.
The hearing was closed.
A motion was made by Commissioner Parkerson and seconded by Commissioner
Thompson to find this Parcel Map exempt from the requirements of CEQA and to deny
the appeal, sustaining all conditions of approval including reimbursement for frontage
improvements.
