It is recommended Council approve. Robert Santos, 900 Lane Avenue, Suite 100, 92013, referred to his letter explaining the justification for the request and providing evidence. The requested advance grading permit would be limited to only the golf course area. Councilman Malcolm stated his concern if the project is not completed after grading has been accomplished, even with the completion bond which only applies to the grading. After discussion, pointing out the Tentative Map is scheduled to be considered by the Planning Commission by June 14 and not before Council until July and, in light of the fine working relationship with EastLake, Councilman Malcolm "reluctantly" reported his willingness to support the staff recommendation.

MOTION MS (Malcolm/Cox) to amend the conditions to require revegetation of the ground should the Plan not be approved. Director of Public Works Lippitt clarified there may have to be some remedial grading to make the drainage work acceptably. VOTE ON THE MOTION Passed.
