/d-A� Lynda Flores Brouchoud Thomas Brouchoud Zoning Administrator . Page 4 December 13, 2000 . "The property owner shall enter into an agreement with the City of Redwood City to pay his share of any future costs for improvements to Laurel Way. These improvements shall include, but not be limited to: curb, gutter, sidewalk, replacing [sic] walls, . pavement, storm drain and sewer system, street lighting, pavement markings and striping. The applicant [owner] shall also participate in any future assessment district or similar arrangement which may be established by the City and/or property owners to pay for the above improvements by the City through the preparation of an environmental impact report." 15. The physical conditions of the terrain, the frontage on the privately- owned extension of Laurel Way, availability of utilities, and other aspects pertaining to development of the Property are substantially similar to those pertaining to 3726 Laurel Way and (intervening) APN 053-301-230. 16. The Property, the adjoining APN 053-301-230, and the improved parcel at 3726 Laurel Way all front on that partially improved portion of Laurel Way which can be improved and widened without performing major grading and construction of retaining walls, as indicated on those improvement plans entitled, "Laurel Way Improvement Unit No. 2," dated 9/13R1, prepared in connection with the above-mentioned assessment district proceedings, and on file in the offices of the City Engineer. Additionally, the aforementioned three parcels have access to water and sewer utilities located within Laurel Way. 17. The 1988 Policy did not clearly distinguish befinreen parcels fronting on the paved (privately owned) southerly extension of Laurel Way, upon which the Property, 3726 Laurel Way and APN 053-301-230 front, and other parcels fronting on the narrower, unpaved southerly and westerly extension. , 18. The above-described physical conditions pertaining to the Property, 3726 Laurel Way and the commonly-owned adjoining APN 053-301-230 are such that the requirement for the owners of said parcels to participate in the preparation of an area-wide environmental impact report would pose an unnecessary burden upon the development of such property, disproportionate to the benefits anticipated to be derived from such EIR. 19. Appellants and the owner of 3726 Laurel Way and APN 053-301-230 should not be required to contribute toward the preparation of an area-wide EIR or participate in an assessment district for the construction of improvements to Fndgs-5 f/sh/sh/RC/Council/findings .. _ _..
