<br /> P1r Fales explained in response to concern that the success of the
<br /> development appears to depend upon success in selling the lots, and
<br /> with regard to a staging process, the procedures are well established
<br /> and filing the Final Map will require that the subdivider install
<br /> public improvements, or post a bond, and before recommending approval
<br /> of a subd�vision agreement, the City will prefer that provisions are '
<br /> made for installation of all improvements. City Attorney Schricker
<br /> also advised of the requirement that a Planned Development Permit be
<br /> utilized within a year, w�th provisions for extension, and that if
<br /> Council prefers, time of performance could be inserted in the agree-
<br /> ment.
<br /> Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the fact that this type develop-
<br /> ment is unique in Redwood City, but not uncommon elsewhere, that a
<br /> development plot plan is required to be submitted and that if the
<br /> development varies substantially from that, it would be a violation
<br /> of the Planned Development Permit
<br /> Mr. Halstead replied to add�tional questions by Council, stattng
<br /> that the lot sizes would vary from 10,000 square feet minimum to
<br /> 25,600 maximum, the homes could range between 2,300 and 4,000 square
<br /> feet, price range of the lots would vary from $25-30,000, and
<br /> estimated cost of the houses would be from $90,000 to $130,000.
<br /> Continuing discussion related to fenctng for screening, a review
<br /> of the steps that must be taken before development proceeds, i.e.,
<br /> ' first, approval of a'Planned Development Permit, at which po�nt it
<br /> is still basically philosoph�cal, then the Tentative Map and Final
<br /> Map stages wheri it becomes closer to reality, with time limits.
<br /> Mr Fales and Planning Director Schroeter commented and responded
<br /> to questions concerning public versus private streets, advising that '
<br /> Cordilleras and Upland Roads are public streets, and that the,roads
<br /> over the right of way and over the hill are shown on the plan as
<br /> private, but that is not necessarily how the Final Map will be drawn
<br /> up, that in any case, the roads,must be designed to public street
<br /> standards The requirement for a homeowners assoc}ation wzll be
<br /> expressed in the homeowners' by-laws, and dissemination of infor-
<br /> mation to prospective purchasers is an obligation on the part of the
<br /> developer, as a legal requirement of the Real Estate Department of
<br /> the State ,
<br /> Dr Georqe Miners,"associated with Sequo�a Hosp�tal a number of years,
<br /> stated that housing in that area is needed, and indicated his support
<br /> of the proposal , , '
<br /> Phil Rauscher, 1636 Cordilleras, indicated that residents in the
<br /> area realize development of the hill will come about,'but expressed
<br /> concern regarding whether the type of development will be such as
<br /> to provide a transition between the urban part of Redwood City
<br /> and the rural area. ,
<br /> Bert Barrett, 272 Upland Road, expressed concern regarding increased
<br /> traffic and that Upland Road is hazardous unless there are controls,
<br /> also regarding potential condemnation of private property relative
<br /> to improving the roads He stated that the residents in that area '
<br /> prefer the existing rural atmosphere '
<br /> Mynin Wong, 251 Upland Road,' expressed the belief that it was a good
<br /> development, but was concerned about improvements of Upland Road,
<br /> indicating that a portion of it is private
<br /> Mr Schroeter referred to the drawings to show the portion of the road
<br /> within unincorporated area, and advised that a portion of the road had
