382 Mr. Wm. Barnett, 21 Hillview, applicant, advised Lots 10 and 11 had been withdrawn from prezoning request by written instructions on file and now only concerned with prezoning on Parcels A and B as illustrated. Councilman Rosselli questioned prezoning to R-1 if possibility of upgrading to larger sized lots desirable for hillside property. Planning Director advised area already subdivided in substandard lots according to Redwood City standards but that Mr. Barnett had agreed to have property revert to acreage and be resubdivided after annexation. Councilman Petersen questioned 1000' cul-de-sac if completed and expressed concern for water and sewer obligations to service area, if annexed. Planning Director stated cul-de-sac was matter of concern because of fire pro- tection and there was a possibility it could be extended but no study had been made on this possibility. He also advised zoning recommended comparable to surrounding area. Mr. Barnett advised Council of easements which had been obtained for access of utilities from Jefferson Avenue. Councilman Henderson questioned whether church proposed for portion of this area was acceptable in an R-1 zone, and was advised permitted in any residential zone, subject to a use permit. Discussion held on traffic problems in cul-de-sac unless better ingress and egress planned. Harvey West, 610 Emerald Hill Road, questioned type of construction proposed for drainage and sewer. After Council further questioned problems involved on drainage and sewer and protection desired by City in respect to zoning before annexation, Councilman Petersen recommended public hearing be continued until answers could be given by Staff. City Attorney advised not inconsistent to proceed with prezoning and questions being asked could be answered at any time prior to annexation. Mr. Robert Rossman, 11 Springdale Way, favored prezoning before annexation but opposed to piecemeal annexation without planning, urging a master plan for hill areas. Council consensus was for larger lot sizes than R-1. Councilman Keckley moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Petersen and carried. Councilman Keckley moved to introduce an ordinance adding Section 60.1.10 to Ordinance No. 1130, the Redwood City Zoning Ordinance, prezoning a portion of Block 502, Highlands of Emerald Lake #5, being the area along Navajo Court and the easterly terminus of Lakeview Way to RH-12, seconded by Councilman Rosselli and carried. Councilman Rosselli requested that Planning Department review whole hillside area adjacent to Redwood City and report on a guideline for future annexations. Plan- ning Director stated this was planned as part of their schedule. (Memo 12/6/66) Mayor Herkner ordered five-minute recess.
