Staff Commentary on Agenda Item No. q CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF June 13, 1972 Item Title: Resolution - Approving the tentative map of a subdivision to be known as Candlewood Subdivision Initiated by: Director of Planning Attached is a copy of Resolution Q~] Ordinance [ ] Agre emen t [ ] P 1 at [ ] Background: At the meeting of May 2, 1972 the City Council received a recommendation from the Planning Commission that the proposed tentative map of Candlewood Subdivision be approved. The property involved contains approximately 40 acres; the proposed map has approximately 113 single family lots on about 25 of those acres. Approximately 15 acres would have been left in some form of open space for acquisition by the City. Consideration of this map was deferred to a Council Conference held on May 10, during which the Council discussed with the staff and the subdivider various methods of acquiring this land and possible revisions to the map. Subsequent to this conference the subdivider has met several times with the staff and proposed two revisions to the map which would reduce both the amount of open space and the cost of acquisition. The subdivider's alternate No. 1 provides approximately 12.9 acres of open space at a net cost to the City of $32,055. He also proposed an alternate which would provide 11.3 acres of open space at a net cost of $12,313. The staff is now recommending that the City Council approve the tentative map as revised in alternate No. 1. The staff had originally objected to various improvement costs that had been delineated by the subdivider, but upon further examination we have determined that these costs could reasonably be charged to the City since the Park Land Dedication Ordinance fee includes the cost of such improvements. Based upon our calculations, sufficient fees will be generated within this park service district to reimburse the City for the $32,000 that would have to be expended at this time. Since Mr. Shattuck is out of town at this time I have been unable to confirm his earlier statement that he would reserve this acreage until July 1, 1973 if that is our desire. Of course, the sooner we acquire the property the lower our costs will be. See EXHIBITS [ X] P1o. 1- 2 Financial Statement: Commission-Board Recommendation: Since this revision has not been referred to the Planning Commission their recommendation remains for approval of the original tentative map.

Substitutes for jute matting may be considered and approved by the Landscape Planner. g. Slopes greater than ten feet (10') in vertical height shall be planted, in addition to the requirements listed in paragraphs (e) and (f) above, with one shrub or tree (minimum 1 gal.) per 100 square feet of slope area.
