Councilmember Dutton left the room at 8:10 p.m. Staff report presented by Brent Le Count, Associate Planner. Councilmember Biane asked about access during construction. Brent Le Count, Associate Planner, stated the City has requirements for a construction entrance plan, but is trying to minimize as much traffic as possible. Mayor Alexander stated he felt it was infuriating for the contractor to go on private property and use private water and hoses without permission. Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were: Joe Sumpter, 9671 Almond, felt Alta Loma was rural and stated when development occurs it does upset the little critters. He stated he has seen two deer on his property. He did think this was an impact on the environment. He felt there would be a lot of traffic with the construction. Mayor Alexander pointed out this project is low density. Marilyn Varney, 9680 Hidden Farm Road, referred to a letter she had written to Brent Le Count, Associate Planner, and asked that it be made part of the record. She continued to go through the information in the letter. She also stated that yesterday a Barraft American employee used her hose and water for his truck without asking her permission. Councilmember Curatalo asked that Barratt take care of this problem so that it does not happen again. Matthew Reese, 5217 London, stated he felt the purpose of his appeal was mute because of Brent's staff report. He referred to a pipeline that would be running through his neighbors property which would be approximately 5' to 6' in diameter. He stated he is concerned about this and that there are no plans indicating this that he could find at the City. He added he did not like the idea that this pipeline would dump into his and his neighbor's yards. Mayor Alexander asked Mr. O'Neil, City Engineer, if the drainage has been addressed. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated yes. Cindy Shannon presented a petition against the project because she felt it was not being done correctly. She stated if it was being done correctly, she would not be opposed to the project. She referred to the Hillside Ordinance and environmental checklist pointing out information contained in them. Don Blank, 9745 Carrari, thanked Barratt and the Planning staff for answering their questions. He stated five out of the six neighbors he talked to are in favor of the project. He asked that this tract be approved. City Council Minutes October 20, 1999 Page 6 Ron Rouse, Attorney for Bartart American, stated his client will make sure that the water-stealing issue does not happen again. He said he wanted to talk about environmental assessment and development review. He continued to address the concerns that were previously mentioned. He felt they are living up to all of the conditions that the City has placed on them. He asked that the appeals be denied. Don Blank again spoke by reading from the Hillside ordinance. He felt his property would be destroyed if this project is approved. Councilmember Biane asked for Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, to give follow-up information on the grading issues previously mentioned. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, displayed pictures pertaining to the issues that were brought up by the other speakers which is on file in the office of the City Clerk. He talked about the drainage easement that the City would be responsible for. Councilmember Biane asked if these specifications are for a 100 year flood. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated yes this is what it is designed for. Councilmember Williams asked if there is something similar to this already in existence. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated there are some County channels, but not many residential projects in the city. Councilmember Williams asked if the drawings are engineered. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated yes and that they are available if someone wants to see them. He stated as far as debris and maintenance of the debris basin, the City will be responsible for that. There being no further comments, the public hearing was closed. Mayor Alexander felt this was designed with as much caution as possible. Councilmember Curatalo felt a lot of consideration has been given to this. Councilmember Willlares felt Barratt should have consideration of the people in the area and that the people working on the project should know what the regulations are and that they need to be considerate of the neighbors. She stated she is concerned about the drainage and wants Engineering to stay on top of this. Councilmember Biane stated it is impossible to make everyone happy.
