PUBLIC HEARING - VESTING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP (Martin-Mclntosh) Vesting Tentative Parcel Map 10465 [Ward 4] Staff report was given recommending approval with changes in conditions from Public Works memo dated March 1', 1999. Commissioner Sprague asked if there is a site plan available for this project to see where the secondary access road layout goes. Commissioner Sprague stated that he is not in agreement with vacating a road on the west side of the property without knowing what's going there (for access purposes). Mr. Grady said that there is no site plan available. Commissioner Sprague asked how the Commission could vacate a road without knowing how the access and everything is going to be in there. Ms. Shaw from the Public Works Department responded by saying the access to parts of Phase 2 and Phase 3 are off of Mattingly Street. Parcels in Phase 1 have access off of Lovell Avenue. They have-a waiver of access to Gosford Road. They only have access from one direction. Phase 3 will be no different. Commissioner Sprague said that perhaps the read vacation could be subject to the Fire Department's approval of a site plan in there at a later date as a possibility of mitigating the road vacation. Commissioner Sprague thinks the Commission should look at this and have some discussion. Commissioner Brady asked if there is going to be an autOmatic right-of-way because of the railroad tracks and if they needed to move equipment in there, they should be able to get in that way. Commissioner Sprague stated thatthe Fire Chief said the Fire Department has to have a paved road to travel on so consequently you run into a problem with a dirt road. That's one of the reasons he brought it up. This item will be heard on Thursday, May 20, 1999. Minutes, PC, Tuesday, May 18, 1999 Page 3 PUBLIC HEARINGS - VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAPS 7.1) Vestincj Tentative Tract Map 5939 (Martin-Mclntosh) [VVard 4] Staff report was given recommending approval with conditions in Exhibit "A". There were no comments or questions. 7.2) This item will be heard on Thursday, May 20, 1999. Vesting Tentative Tract Map 5944 (Hershel Moore) [VVard 6] Staff report was given recommending approval with conditions in Exhibit "A". The applicant has approved Public Works changes in conditions per their memo dated May 17, 1999, and request that this be put on the Consent Calender. Commissioner Sprague asked if the 10-acre park site had already been allocated in a certain area adjacent to this subdivision? Jennie Eng stated that there are additional subdivisions in the area that have requirements for dedication/reservation to finish out the 10-acre park site. Commissioner Sprague asked if they were going to allocate a portion of land or are they going to pay their park fees? Ms. Eng responded by saying it was a combination depending on the subdivision. CommisSioner Sprague asked if the park location had been determined. Ms. Eng said 'lyes" it has been determined. Commissioner Sprague asked how the acreage is being allocated, is it 3.2 acres of this particular subdivision or 3.2 acres of adjacent property? Jim Movius, Principal Planner, stated that on the east side of Akers Road there is a tentative tract directly across from this one that also has a requirement to allocate their proportionate share in a dedication of land and also reserve a portion for future purchase based on park fees that would be derived from other subdivisions coming into that area. The property owner for this project owns all the land down to Taft Highway and has plans to subdivide that in the future and are aware of their need to allocate as they come in for park acreage on the east side of Akers Road to make that a 10-acre site which will eventually be across from the school on the west side of Akers Road. Commissioner Sprague asked Mr. Movius why there is a need for back-to-back cul-de-sacs in the project instead of a through road? Mr. Movius stated that it is strictly the developer's preference. Staff has reviewed the circulation and finds it adequate with no throughstreets on the cul-de-sacs. The Fire Department also has looked at the cul-de-sacs and finds no problem with secondary access.
