Paul ,Sensibaugh, Public Works Director , states that the project location falls within the Sanitation District boundary but not within the Urban Services area, and would not create significant impacts to sewer. John Falkenstein, applicant representative, states that sewer accessibility is available to the site without line extension, the site is bordered by three side with lots at 1-1/2 acres or less, and Planning Commission approved the project unanimously. Mr. Richard Shoreridge, adjacent property owner , expresses con- cerns regarding the drainage area fronting the property providing a unique- animal/fauna habitat which should not be impacted by this project. 3 Paul Sensibaugh clarifies that the drainage area can be con- ditioned to be protected through the specific plan process. It is noted that Santa Rosa' s existing road is scheduled for resurfacing this fiscal year.

He also clarifies that the present zoning of the aea is "Public" with the General Plan depicting Light Industry. Mayor Norris states that Curt Sorg, County representative, has requested a continuance of this item for two weeks to allow additional discussions with staff as to the effects this land use redesignation may have on the Armory. The Armory site is included in the redesignation area, even though it is presently owned by the County and is exempt from City regulations, as it is felt that the use of the site should be compatible with the area if future use of the Armory should change . 4 MOTION: Councilmember Mackey moves to approve Resolution 84-87; Councilmember Handshy seconds; motion fails 2-2 MOTION: Councilmember Borgeson moves to continue this item to the August 25 Council Meeting; Councilmember Mackey seconds; Motion carries unanimously MOTION: Councilmember Borgeson moves to read Ordinance 157 by title only; Councilmember Mackey seconds; Motion carries 3-1 (Councilmember Handshy opposed) City Clerk Boyd Sharitz reads aloud Ordinance 157 in its entirety.

He further states that Council can act on this item or refer it to be included in the General Plan update to be addressed. John Falkenstein, Cuesta Engineering, Don Blazey, Atascadero Board of Realtors, Sharon Morin, Realtor, Allen Volbrecht, Surveyor, Don Messer, Contractor , and Judy Bishop, Realtor , express concerns regarding the impacts this proposal would have on property owners. Impacts include reduced ownership of animals, loss of property value to some properties, and ad- ditional requirements to individual property owners who are amending their parcels to purchase individual surveys of property net acreage owned versus utilizing County Recorders Office legal recordings of land, which is documented in gross acreagage. 5 After discussion on the item Council concludes that, although this proposal would standardize the City's formula for calcu- lation of parcel sizes for all parcels within the City, it is premature prior to the General Plan being updated.

The applicant was directed by Council to propose a two-way lot split alternative. John Falkenstein, applicant representative, states that Mr . Fisher has complied with Council direction to provide a two-way lot split alternative, but desires Council to address the original three-way proposal, which he originally requested, first. Mr. Falkenstein further clarifies that all concerns expressed regarding this proposal have been mitigated according to the requirements set forth by the City, and that City staff and Planning Commission have recommended approval. Mr. Dennis Lockridge, adjacent property owner, expresses his disfavor regarding size of access, location of fire hydrant, and proposed road maintenance agreement. Mr. Dean Crawford, adjacent property owner, is opposed to the three-way lot split creating a "flag lot" and additional traffic impacts due to future lot split possibilities in the area. Don Ross, Architect and Paul Washburn, Contractor , express con- cerns with the possibility of the City Council overriding the Atascadero General Plan. . .which the three-way lot split does con- form with. . .without providing valid reasons. They also clarify that the applicant has met all conditions of approval required by staff. Henry Engen clarifies the City requirement of private driveways being 16 feet wide if accessing four or less parcels and 20 feet wide for access to five or more parcels. Councilmember Borgeson expresses concerns with the proposed 6 "hammerhead" driveway turnaround and the inability to enforce open space portion of the hammerhead to remain open and accessible to emergency vehicles. Councilmembers Borgeson and Mackey clarify the public' s right to remove an item from the City Council Consent Calendar.
