B. DISCUSSION 1. Existing site characteristics. he subject property is presently located in the County and is accessible via a 50 ft. wide panhandle access drive extending to Hilltop Drive. The bulk of the 10+ acre site is e sentially a knoll with, down slopes on the north and east sides of the property. The enti a site is enclosed by a 6 ft. high chainlink fence and is developed with two single family dwellings, a guest house, recreation building, tennis court, swimming pool, and is h avily wooded with a variety of trees. Access is provided by a 15 ft. paved road loca ed on the northerly portion of the 50 ft. wide panhandle section. The road is line on both sides with mature trees. Overhead utility lines are located on the north side of the road. The southerly portion of the panhandle is generally unimproved except for paved section extending from Cresta Way easterly, serving three other properties.

Tentative subdivision map. Th applicant proposes to divide the property into 19 residential lots and one common lot se ved by a private road system identified as Lion Circle. The staff recommended to the P1 nning Commission that the 50 ft. wide panhandle portion of the property, which provid s access to the development, be dedicated as a public street. Since the Planning Commis ion meeting the staff has met with the developer and concluded that it would be in the best interests of both parties to retain the access as a private street and give the ci y an irrevocable offer of dedication. Retention of this access as a private street will allow the home owners association to maintain the numerous existing trees which re located in the proposed center median and along the north property line. Th property will be developed as a planned unit development in order that the minimu lot size may be reduced with the square footage which would normally be included in the individual lots becoming part of the common open space area. The large existing single family dwelling and guest house on the west side of the property will remain as will t e recreation building and the tennis court. The other structures and the swimming pool ill be removed. Lot size ranges from approximately 8,600 sq. ft. to over 20,000 sq. ft. with an average lot size just under 13,000 sq. ft. 3. Streets and guest parking. As indicated earlier the 50 ft. panhandle will be a private street. In order to prese ve as many trees as possible, a 10 ft. median strip is proposed between two 15 ft. travel lanes, with curbs and gutters provided on each side. No sidewalks are proposed. The r mainder of this private road is basically a loop system utilizing a 20 ft. wide curb o curb width to accommodate two way traffic. Approximately 23 guest parking spaces are p ovided in parking bays located adjacent to the private road system. If needed, addit onal guest spaces could be added by the home owners association in the future. It shoul be noted that a number of the houses planned will have three car garages. 4~ Grading. A proximately 25,200 cubic yards of cut and fill will take place on the property. The p oposed grading will be sensitive to the existing topography by keeping the land confi uration in its basic form. 5 Utilities. T e existing overhead utilities in the panhandle section of the property which serve the adjoining properties are required to be undergrounded as are the utilities withi the proposed development. The applicant is currently investigating the cost of un ergrounding and may seek a deferral until a district can be formed. 6~ Sewer. T e property is to be served by a new sewer line across the adjacent property locat d at the northwest corner of the site and connected to the existing sewer line in Eu alyptus Court. At the time of this writing the applicant had not yet obtained an ea ement from the adjacent property owner or requested the City to use its power of emine t domain to obtain the easement. Fire Department requirements: a. Five fire hydrants will be required as shown on the tentative subdivision map. b. Each hydrant shall have a 22" outlet and one 4" outlet. c. Afire flow of 1,-000 GPF1 is required. d. Hydrant and water supplies for fire protection shall be installed in operable condition prior to combustible construction. D. IONCLUSION The subdivision design represents a very thoughtful approach to develop an area by p~heserving many of its valuable resources, mainly seclusion, vegetation, views, natural terrain and existing structures. 95yo AGENDA ITEM N0. 8~8a Meeting of 3/20/79 Supplemental page No. 2. The 50' x 631' access road extending from Hilltop Drive will provide a good linkag to the existing street system which terminates at the north end of Cresta Way. It is nticipated that future homes fronting along the northerly portion of the road would a able to take direct access from this road by getting approval from the home- owners association. However, if any problems develop which preclude a home owner from securi g access, the city could exercise its option and accept the dedication of the road. The Planning Commission is recommending that a cul-de-sac or hammerhead be provided at the east end of the road to provide a turn around and that a sidewalk be provided on the so th side of the access road to allow a pedestrian walking area outside of the 15 ft. wide travel lane. ~~ ~0 C~.

Right-of-way widths and radii will meet or exceed General Plan standards. c.

Inasmuch as fewer than 50 units are proposed, the applicant is not required to address the need to provide housing for low and moderate ~/ y~ income families. d. Conservation, Open Space, and Parks and Recreation - The Conservation Element diagram does not note any natural resources worthy of preservation or conservation within the subject property.

Seismic Safety and Safety - There is no indication of historic seismic activity on the site. Extension of public improvements will meet or exceed Safety Element standards. f.
