Senior Planner Robert Garcia provided a staff report; and staff answered Council' s questions regarding several aspects of the project including the easement, bike trail, and trees. The easement is part of the City right- of- way. There are plans to renovate the bike trail in the future. Any trees that have to be removed will be replaced.
Mayor Murphy opened the Public Hearing.
Frank Elfend presented on behalf of the applicant in support of the project; and responded to Council' s questions.
Public Comments:
The following person submitted a comment in support of the project, which was read aloud by staff:
Sonja Trauss.
The following people submitted comments in opposition of the project, which were read aloud by staff:
Lyle and Julie Wade, Ron and Michelle Levesque, Patrick Peeken, Rolf Knapp, Sami and Christine Beaini, Angel Anderson, Alicia Morales Bgardus, Collen Monahan, Kathy Christian, Jim Herbeck, Gerald Raymond, Philip Kunisch, Joe Digrado, Anna Smith, Suzanne Kiel, and Deborah Ward.
In addition, three telephone messages in opposition of the project were received and distributed to Council; and six written comments in opposition were received after the deadline and distributed to Council for their consideration.
Mayor Murphy closed the Public Hearing.
During deliberations, Council discussed that this project has to be looked at as a separate project from the Trails project. This project complies with all rules and regulations; and has met all requirements. In addition, a one- to- one tree replacement program is in place; and if it is possible to save any trees, they will. If voters approve General Plan Amendment No. 2018- 0001 this November, the approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 0050- 20 will no longer have any force or legal effect.
