She advised that Mr. Dominguez's tentative map was approved in 1979. At that time the Subdivision Map Act had an 18 month life period. Mr. Dominguez has already used his extensions and his time will run out on January 9, 1983. Mr. Dell'Angela advised that there was a disagreement within staff regarding a private versus a public road. He preferred a public road,. A' private road would be acceptable to Mr. Yee.

Mr. Dominguez advised the Corrmission that he has a condominium situation. He felt q private street was more in line with the subdivision. Mr. Lorvan spoke in favor of applying broad interpretation of the State Map Act to allow a time extension in this case. He felt that since the law changed since Mr. Dominguez's application and the new law pr0vides a total of 48 months~ the Commission should be able to grant an extension. The Assistant City Attorney recorrmended a narrow interpretation of State Law regarding expiration of the Map. It was the consensus of the Corrrnission that Mr. Lorvan and the Assistant City Attorney look into this legal matter and have an opinion ready by the meeting of December 16, 1982.
