COMMISSIONER SOTO LEFT THE MEETING DUE TO A POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF
INTEREST ON THE FOLLOWING ITEM AND IS NOW ABSENT.
PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDED TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 983, 139 AND 141 TALLY
HO ROAD (L. C. LA VINE).
Current Planner Spierling reviewed the staff report dated September 3, 1991. He pointed
out that, after gaining approval of the tentative map in 1990, the applicant's engineer began
working on the construction drawings and at that time it was discovered that the proposed private
drive location could require cutting of the hillside and the loss of trees. The applicant's engineer
also conducted a study regarding traffic and sight distance and concluded that the approved
driveway location was not the safest location. Based on this information, the applicant submitted
an amended tentative map. Mr. Spierling stated that when the amended application was
submitted, staff required an independent sight distance analysis. This analysis was conducted
and the independent traffic engineer indicated that the private drive should be relocated. Mr.
Spierling advised that, except for the relocation of the private drive, no changes are being made
to the approved tentative tract map and, since this change improves public safety and may lessen
environmental impacts, staff feels that the amendment should be approved.
Upon being assured by the Planning Commission Secretary that public hearing for the
Amended Tentative Tract No. 983 had been duly published and property owners notified,
Chairman Gallagher declared the hearing open.
Jim McGillis, Surveyor with San Luis Engineers, spoke on behalf of the applicant, briefly
reviewing the sight distance concerns relative to the two driveway locations.
Hearing no further comments from the audience for or against the amended tentative tract
map, Chairman Gallagher declared the hearing closed.
After a brief discussion, the following action was taken:
