1. The City Council met with Arnold Volny to review the tentative
map of Tract 460, again approved by the City Planning Commission by a
five (5) to one (1) vote.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented the recommendation of the
Planning Commission on Tract 460 as follows:
"The Planning Commission, at its regular meeting of March 20, 1973,
reconsidered the Tentative Map of Tract 460. The Commission con-
sidered the drainage plan in terms of a culvert versus an open ditch.
The Commission noted that an open ditch drainage system would create
extensive fills and exposed banks. The Planning Commission therefore
reaffirmed its approval of the Tentative Map showing the drainage
culvert through El Viento Streets and Lots 8 and 9. The recommendation
is based on the following:
1. The culvert will handle storm waters equivalent to the
January 1973 f.bood.
2. In the event of clogging, El Viento Street, and some
regrading on Lots starting with 9 will handle any overflow
of waters without flooding the sites.
3'. The recommended Tentative Map avoids cuts and fills of
such extend to cause adverse esthetic impact. The Commission
feels this waterway system should be modified to avoid the
possibility of street drainage overflowing on to Lots 5, 6 8 7.
R. D. Young showed maps of Tract 460 and the Planning Commission's
consideration on the approval.
Paul Landell, City Engineer's Staff, reviewed for the Council, the
City Engineer's recommendation dealing with placing the drainage
underground in a culvert. He explained to the Council the fail safe
procedure built into the area of the culvert which would handle a
flood of any magnitude, overtopping the culvert.
The Council, Developer and City Staff discussed the entire design of
Tract 460, including the grade, and amount of land to be graded to
complete the tract.

Councilman Brown felt he could approve the development of Tract 460 with
the drainage in an open ditch with culvert on];y under the streets.
Councilman Blake also felt he could approve the plan with full street
development and the open drainage ditch.
Mayor Schwartz felt that the tentative map shwoing a portion of the
Tract with a cul -de -sac street would be a desirable attraction to
buyers.
Councilman Blake moved to accept the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and approve the Tentative Map of Tract 460.
Motion lost due to lack of a second.

Tentative Map of Tract 460, dated March 20, 1973, be disapproved.
