MINUTE APPROVAL After hearing no additions or corrections, the minutes of the regular meet- ing of July 19, 1977 were approved by the Chairman as prepared. REVIEW COMMITTEE ACTION - LOT SPLIT CASE NO. 77 -271, 211 SPRUCE ST. (CONKLIN)- Planner Sullivan reviewed that Lot Split Case No. 77 -271 had been denied by the Lot Split Committee for the reason that the lot proposed to be created did not meet the "R -G" zoning regulations, in that the frontage dimension was less than the required frontage, and there didn't seem to be any workable alternative to split this lot. Committee Action of July 27, 1977 was approved as submitted. - ........................... REVIEW COMMITTEE ACTION - LOT SPLIT CASE NO. 77 -272, 311 FAIR OAKS AVE. (HOOK). Planner Sullivan reviewed the Lot Split Committee Action, dated July 27, 1977, explaining the reason for the shared driveway is that there is an existing drive adjacent to this property line, and the Public Works Department recommended the shared driveway. He further stated that a shared driveway has to be a mini - mun of 20 ft., however, this driveway will be larger than that. Mr. Sullivan also advised that the proposed division of property meets the minimum lot requirements. After discussion, the Planning Commission approved the Committee action of July 27, 1977 as submitted. Chairman Gerrish commented with regard to Item #5, "Undergrounding of all utilities for existing structures as part of any building permit issued ", stating that this is an item that comes up in the Committee fairly often and, in his opinion, it would be a good idea for the Commission as a whole to give the Committee some guidance in that area. He stated that in certain instances the Committee has required undergrounding to the existing structure, and on other lot splits they have not. After Commission discussion, it was agreed to leave this condition of requiring undergrounding of utilities for existing structures on an individual basis at the present time.

In answer to Doris Olson's question as to the number of acres in- volved, Planner Sullivan stated it was estimated to be between 40 to 80 acres. Mr. Al Jackson, 208 Fair View Drive, inquired if the County would take care of the road before it is annexed to the City. Chairman Gerrish advised if the City annexes this area, we will have to take care of the road. Mr. Sullivan added that the County doesn't have any feelings one way or another about this, and the City will pick up the ,tab for maintaining existing improvements. Mayor de Leon advised that the City is losing money, in that building permits are issued in this area by the County, and if it had been annexed a long time ago, the City would be getting the permit fees and then service this area In answer to Commissioner Cole's question as to whether all of the Councilmen felt this annexation was a good move, Mayor de Leon advised all Councilmen were in favor of this annexation. Planner Sullivan advised with regard to compatible zoning in the County and our existing zoning, the City's General Plan and Zoning would have to be reviewed. However, he has reviewed the General Plan Land Use Element's Section on "Annex- ation Policy" and, in his opinion, this proposed annexation is in conformance with the General Plan.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson, 208 Fair View Drive commented that when a certain cut is done into a grade, a retaining wall is required, but there is a very loose period in there. She advised she has noticed several places in town where there have been drastic cuts made right next to the property,.and people are going right ahead with the building.. She further stated that in some cases the ground is crumbling and, in her opinion, the Architectural Review Committee should get to- gether and straighten this out. She stated a good example of this is on Brighton between Corona del Terra and Ruth Ann Way.
