TENTATIVE TRACT 30932, Tom Moran, 10 Packsaddle Road West Mr. Clark Leonard, engineer for Tom Moran, developer of Tentative Tract 30932 requested that the matter be held on the agenda. The Mayor so ordered. TENTATIVE TRACT 30605, Gordon Shultz, 10 Johns Canyon Road Mr. Clark Leonard advised that he and Mr. Shultz were present to request Council's approval of the Planning Commission's action on May 16, 1972 for inclusion of Lot 7 in. the first unit to be recorded, as the initial approval of the Tentative Tract on February 15, 1972 was for Lots 1, 23 3, 4, 8 and 9 in unit 11, and, Lots 5, 6 and 7 in the second unit. ` Mrs. Clifton explained that -one -of the conditions of approval by the Planning Commission in May was that in including Lot 7 in the first unit, the subdivider was required to extend the cul de sac of Johns Canyon Road approximately 75 to 100 feet to serve Lot 7, and to bond "for development of the remainderofJohns Canyon Road to ultimately cul de sac at Parcel 6. Mr. Leonard said he felt there was no need to extend the cul de sac at this time; if the future road to the west between Lots 7 and 8 is developed, a knuckle would result. Until then, Mr. Leonard explained, Lot -7 -�otild be served from the proposed cul de sac at the north boun.dary.of :dot 8, and he requested relief from the requirement of bonding for the remainder of Johns Canyon Road. In the discussion that followed Councilman Hesse stated that the requirement of the Planning Commission was a reasonable one, and that the request by the subdivider and his engineer for relief from the requirement was also reasonable, and it was his ®pinion that in con- sidering reversing the ruling of the Planning Commission the City Coun- cil should carefully consider all details. Mayor Pearson suggested that in any case of appeal to the City Council for relief from recom- men.dations of the .Planning Commission, the Chairman of the Commission or his representative should be present at the meeting. -2- 1 1 June 269 1972 Following discussion Councilman Hesse moved that the Council approve the request for including Lot 7 ifi the first unit to be recorded, and that the matter of bonding for the extension of Johns Canyon Road be held until the next meeting of the Council,, and further, that Planning Commission Chairman Godfrey Pernell be invited to the next meeting of the Council for discussion of that matter.
