1. At this time, the City Council considered the final tract map of
Tract No. 608, Cuesta Highlands III, L. Blaser developer, continued from
July 3, 1979.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that the City Planning
Commission has approved the tract map and recommends that the City Council
approve the final map subject to the conditions of the subdivision agree-
ment.
George Thacher, City Attorney, reviewed for the City Council the deposit
agreement submitted on behalf of the developer to guarantee the off -site
improvements for the subdivision. He also submitted a check in the amount
of $16,890 for deposit in accordance with the deposit agreement as part of
the subdivision. _.
Leonard Blaser appeared before the City Council asking that the City Council
reconsider subdivision agreement condition no. 6, "The developer shall under-
ground all existing overhead utility lines within the tract and along tract
boundaries." He stated that this condition was added six months ago when
the tract map was extended, and since that time he has discussed this matter
with PG &E and they will not put this area underground for many years and
have no funds to do so. He asked that this matter be removed in order to
avoid adding additional costs to the development. He estimated that under -
grounding as required along the boundaries of the tract would be close to
$100;000.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, objected to the Council consider-
ing amending the subdivision agreement conditions at the eleventh hour of
approval without the applicant having formally appealed:ithe condition and the
staff having had an a opportunity to react to the request of the developer.
Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, stated that he agreed with the developer's
comments that it would be difficult for PG &E, if not impossible, to put in
a small stretch of undergrounding of this high - voltage wiring. He continued
that it was City policy over the years to start at the City center and go
all through town with the undergrounding program, and he felt that at the
present rate of raising funds, that the Los Osos Valley Road could be 100
years away.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by _Councilman

as present, but that the final map not be filed

Bond, that the City

grounding the electrical lines on this short stretch of Los Osos Valley Road.
