Affidavit of mailing was ordered filed. The Planning Commission approved the tentative map .of Pecan. Court Subdivision subject to certain conditions. Three of the conditions imposed by the Planning Commission have been appealed to the City'Council by the developer, Mrs Tehaney, as follows: Condition No. 1. That one half of the width of Valota Road be improved with curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and three-inch plant -mix surfacing over eight inches of crusher -run rock base. The Planning Commission feels that this condition is justified because of the impending assessment district which Will propose the same improvements for the remainder of Valota Road, and the Planning Commission further feels that it would not be practical, or justifiable, to assess new home owners in Pecan Court Subdivision for the development of Valota Road. Condition No. 3. That one half of Sierra Street at the end of Pecan Court be dedicated and. improved according to standard residential specifications. It was the finding of the Commission that this improvement is necessary in order to conform to required improvements along the future extension of Sierra Street, development of which can be expected in the very near future. It should be stated further that it is impractical:to assess corner lots for the entire side street frontage development. i Condition No. 7e That a storm drain be constructed and an easenibnt be provided from the subdivision to Kentfield Avenue. If the subdivision is completed prior to the culmination of the assesment district, it was the Planning Commission's recommendation that the subdivider construct the storm drain and acquire the easement, cost of acquistion to be covered by a separate bond to assure provision of the recommended . drainage facilities. 17 The Planning Commission feels that the requirementsfor drainage facilities to Kentfield Avenue is necessary in order to temporarily drain this subdivision until such time as the permanent drainage improvements are completed.
