Mr. Christians addressed the major concern of
Staff that involved the 4-story structures con-
taining 96 units which are proposed for Units 5
& 6 and which neither a detailed elevation flow
plan nor parking plan has been submitted. He
stated that they would be located on the highest
point of Stonegate Ridge and would contain 42%
of the entire units. He explained Special Con-
dition No. 9 and Additional Condition & Limita-
tion No. 9.
Mayor Mirri declared the Public Hearing opened
and instructed the audience on time limitation.
Appellants would be heard first.
Mrs. Doris Agee, 819 Ridge Court, gave a brief
history of the events. She spoke about the co-
operation received from Mr. Chow for Units 4, 5,
and 6, and the problems which arose as a result
of Planning Commission's decision of 6/12/79.
She expressed her concerns on the location of the
4-story buildings, the population of 42% in the
2 buildings and the lack of plans detailing
elevations. She spoke about the ethetic impact of
the buildings seen from the rest of the City.
Mr. Robert Cox, resident of Sunshine Gardens, re-
called Council's concerns about the Brosnan
development in regard to the parking. He in-
quired about the sufficiency of parking spaces
which the 2 units would require.
Mrs. Joan Grant, 862 Stonegate Drive, Secretary
of Stonegate Homeowners Assn., commented on the
high density, the need for qreen areas, and
parking problems. She remark'ed that the two
4-story buildings would contain more units that
Units 1 and 2 combined. She requested only the
same size construction existing now be allowed.
She presented Council with pictures of the area.
Mr. Richard Blakemore, resident of Stonegate
Ridge Unit 2, stated that residents believed
that Stonegate Ridge would be developed in a
similar manner as Units 1 & 2. He commented on
the high density and the parking situation.

CITY MANAGER
Mr. Edward Subject, member of Stonegate Ridge
Homeowners Assn., spoke on his concern of the
physical impact of 45 units per each building
and the inadequate parking. He stated it was
his understanding that no EIR Report had been
submitted. He also stated that no disaster plans
were prepared. He further spoke about a restric-
tive roadway and grade should it be necessary
for fire access. He requested assurance of an
adequate balance of nature for residents and
for tomorrow's children.
Mr. Neal Martin, representing Bayl,~nd Development
Company, stated that they had no problems with
recommendations of Staff or Mrs. Agee; that they
have cooperated with the residents through plan-
ning and development of the project. He stated
that the two 4-story buildings were planned for
a later phase in another two years. He addressed
the points brought up by the appellants concern-
ing open space as provided in the Planned Com-
munity Development regulations. He spoke on the
circular system provided for Fire Department
ingress/egress. He explained the project since
1965, density and the subsequent reductions to
single family dwellings. He requested that the
Condition 9 be modified to allow the bonds to be
paid off at the time each lot or dwelling unit
is sold rather than at the time of recordation
of the Final Map on each unit of the project. He
then showed two slides of the area to give Council
a visual effect of the project. He described
the dimensions and slope that would not destroy
the vision of the Christmas Tree.
As no one else spoke, Mayor Mirri closed the
Public Hearing.
Council discussed the amount of space available
for parking; the concern to look at the entire
Planned Community; and the amending of the Plan.
City Attorney Noonan explained the procedure and
power of the Council to affect the change.
Councilwoman Teglia stated that consideration be
given not to approve the extension of UP-78-440.
City Attorney Noonan submitted for Council's con-
sideration - if Council was satisfied with the
phases, except for the 4-story buildings, then
by reason of the appeal, amend the Use Permit to
develop the approved plan with the extension of
12 months from whatever time given, with the con-
dition that Condition 9 be added.

public opinion on the matter. It was noted that
there were 2 parking places per unit in Units 4,

Mr. Sprincin, owner of Stonegate Ridge Unit 8
project, commented on the bankruptcy and pre-
vious approval by the City of the project. He
spoke on the beauty of the development in Units
4, 5 and 6. He explained the misconception in
Unit 6 and requested that Council not delay
approval of the final project, only on Lots 91
and 92, until final plans are seen and a deter-
mination made as to negative or positive impact.

Treasurer's concerns to have the bonds paid off
prior to the splitting of the assessment.
Mrs. Helen Price, Redwood City, cautioned Council
concerning possible land slides when the natural
contour of land is disturbed by building of
high rises.
City Attorney Noonan remarked that, after hearing
the testimony that elevation plans of the two
4-story buildings are not available, he would
suggest that a time extension and the appeal be
continued for a period of 60 or 90 days.
M/S Teglia/Borba - That the extension and appeal
be continued for at least 60 days, that the
developer be instructed to file elevation site
plans and whatever else is necessary for full
