DISCUSSION Data Summary Zoning: Low-Density Residential, Specific Plan (R-1-SP) and Conservation Open Space(C/OS) General Plan: Low-Density Residential and Open Space Address: 906 Calle Del Caminos Applicant: Cowan Trust Owner: Harold Mullenbeck Representative: John French Environmental status: A draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was completed on May 4, 2000. Site Description A tributary to the East Fork of San Luis Creek nuns along the northerly boundary of this 3.99- acre site. The site is gently sloping east to west and covered primarily in grasses with a few scattered trees and a Eucalyptus grove along the creek. To the east of the site are the backyards of single family homes which front on Poinsettia Street. To the west are scattered single-family homes. Another tract is proposed to the south. Please refer to map attachments 1, and 2. Project Description This project - Tract 2372 —affects approximately 3.99 acres and would subdivide 2 existing lots into 13 residential lots, 1 linear park lot, and a detention basin lot. The linear park with a bikeway would be created in a portion of the Pacific Coast Railroad right-of-way along the easterly edge of this tract and will extend from Poinsettia through to the tract proposed for the property to the south. A detention basin in lot 14 is proposed to serve this subdivision as well as the subdivision proposed on property to the south. New streets would extend toward Fuller Road and align with 3B-1 Council Agenda Report—Tract 226-99 Page 2 Calle Del Caminos. All existing structures — two houses and several outbuildings - would be removed. Planninp,Commission Review On a vote of 4 to 1, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve.the tentative map. This subdivision was discussed together with the adjoining subdivision proposal because of their proximity and shared roads and detention basin. Applicants requested that separate reports be prepared for City Council. Three members of the public— all adjacent neighbors to the project sites — explainedtheir concerns. Two were concerned with how the projects would affect/improve historic drainage patterns. One was concerned with how development of the lots would affect views. Commission discussion focused on the need to annex to the existing home owners association or create a new home owners association; access to the linear park; and proximity of the detention basin to the creek. The Planning Commission minutes and staff report are included as Attachments 5&6 to the previous staff report for project#TR 225-99. Environmental Review One initial study was prepared for both this project and the adjoining subdivision. It is included as Attachment 7 to the previous staff report for project # TR 225-99. Recommended mitigation measures address geology and soils, drainage, air quality, transportation, biological resources, energy conservation, fire hazards, and solid waste disposal. The Planning Commission made a minor change to mitigation measure 12 to allow the applicants to propose an alternative to the turf block recommended for use in constructing access to the detention basin. Evaluation/Conclusion To approve a subdivision, the Council must find that it is consistent with the General Plan. Additional findings are contained the State Subdivision Map Act (Section 66474). The Planning Commission recommends that the Council make the required findings as contained in the attached draft resolution of approval of the tentative map. CONCURRENCES Other department comments have been incorporated in recommended conditions of approval. FISCAL EWFACT Fiscal impacts will be limited to costs to maintain the public street and utility improvements. The detention basin, linear park, and bike path will be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. 3B-2 Council Agenda Report—Tract 226-99 Page 3 ALTERNATIVES 1. The Council may deny the subdivision, if it finds the project inconsistent with the General Plan or the Edna-Islay Specific Plan. 2. The Council may approve the subdivisions with modified findings or conditions. 3. The Council may continue action on this item if additional information is needed. Direction should be given to staff and the applicant. ATTACHMENTS 1. Vicinity map 2. Reduced tentative map 3. Draft Resolution of Approval 4. Draft Resolution of Denial 5.

ASSOCIATION 3563 Empleo Street, Suite A San Luis Obispo CA 93401 (805) 544- 9093 (Fax) 544- 6215 May 1% 2000 Peggy P 4andelville Community Development Department 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Re: Proposed Annexations to Santa Lucia Hills Dear Ms. Mandelville, The Santa Lucia Hills Master Homeowners Association has several concerns regarding the Hertel development on Fuller Road as well as the two other developments proposed by the Cowan Trust and J.P.Muscarrella. The two specific recommendations that the Association would like the Planning Department to consider.are: 1. It appears that there ds a plan to connect to existing watering systems paid for by the Santa Lucia Hills Master HOA. Under no circumstances should.this be,allowed without the prior approval of the Board ofDirectors. This was done at the Willows,which was also built by Hertel_ Each development should provide for water meters for their eom)6on areas. Association maintained areas and City maintained areas must be on separate water meters. The Association is currently in the process of billing the City for water used from the water meter at Larkspur Street and is asking the City to provide their own water meter for the lots they are responsible for watering. 2. All Walkways/bikepaths in all three developments should be constructed of concrete, not asphalt_ The specifications for this path should specify constructing the path with sufficient rebar and thickness to prevent craelaing and displacement. No trees should be planted along any portion of the bikepath/waIkway close enough to cause damage to the pathway. The.prMous Willows development had trees planted that will cause damage to the walkway. 16 addition to these specific concerns, the Association needs to have a description of the lots and area that will be the maintenance responsibility of the Association. It was my understapding that the bridge crossing the creek was.the City's responsibility(my map indicates this).' I have since heard that the bridge will be an Association responsibility. If this is true, the Association will need to review specific plans for the bridge, including the material to be used in constructing the bridge and ability to withstand floodwaters. 3B-18 5-1 rJ-LrJrJ G;"QO 1.1 r mui several items on the proposed landscaping plan are not acceptable to the Association. We would like to meet with developer, city arborist, and the designer to discuss possible changes to the plants that have been proposed on the planting plan. The Association would like to review the specific plan for the mitigation of traffic speeds in the proposed extension of Fuller Road. Are there estimates of the amount of traffic that is expected to use this new thoroughfare? Pease contact me as soon as possible about these issues.
