2�6'9y� � f l �' were dedicated to the City as an easement, the City would have main- tenance obligations and also would have some ,7urisdiction or obliga- tion with respect to its use The pathway is not intended for vehicles and vehicle regulations would not apply, although in certain circumstances the City would have the authority to take control. , Discussion continued and Mr. Schroeter replied to questions and com- mented regarding the earlier concern for flooding in the area and the fact that the State dam inspectors have stated the dam is safe, the fact that it is expected the storm drainage system could handle normal runoff; whether or not the property owners within the de- velopment could be expected to provide proper maintenance of the private roads; the fact that two other similar developments contain 150 units and four units, respectively, the possible cumulative effect of allowing high intensity development to take place in the City, the fact that a planned development permit may be used to obtain better, but not necessarily higher density, development, and the possibility that increased residential density throughout the City would increase the support costs for it. Herb Frahm civil engineer representing Stekoll Development Corpora- tion, stated that he is very familiar with the property, having been involved with it when it was being considered for a City park site, and noted that it was believed it might be possible to con- struct ten units on the site with no variances and possibly 13, if certain variances were granted Mr Frahm advised that the pro- posed development was considered the best available and stated that it is expected the condominium association would be able to maintain the common area and handle repairs and replacements as the City , would wish Mr Frahm suggested that the proposed layout preserves a great deal of tree coverage and would be an attractive pro,7ect. He urged approval of the sub�ect application. In response to questions, Mr Frahm advised that the courts had determined the property value at $150,000 and development of the approximately three acres for only one, two or three larger resi- dences would not be practical economically, observing that ten units is not a high density use compared to other condominium developments In response to suggestion that the proposed development is quite different from the standard development in the ad�acent neighborhood, Mr. Frahm suggested that while the developer has attempted to avoid the row-type house, he believes that if lot lines were drawn, the lots would be approximately the same size as those of neighboring houses Robert F. Cawley, 780 Bain Place, referred to the petition from residents of the neighborhood of the proposed development ob,7ecting to an access road on Bain Place, and sug9esting access be from Canyon Road He suggested the developer should make a greater effort to attempt to buy the property which would permit access on Glenwood. Mr. Cawley corrnnented concerning the private road in the proposed development and regarding the number of children and older , people who might be adversely affected by any increased traffic generated by the residents of the proposed development Mr Cawley urged that the sub�ect application be denied. -3- Reg Mtg 2/2/76
