The lots will be a minimum of one acre and approximately 31 acres will remain open space. The homes will be designed consistent with those used throughout the Palisades portion of Rancho Arbolitos.

Assistant City Manager Fitch stated that the proposed revision regarding the required number of trees to be planted according to the homeowner's approved landscape plans could be incorporated into the conditions of approval, however, sidewalks should be required. 3676 Page 5 - CITY OF POWAY - February 27, 1990 Council concurred that the neighbors' concerns regarding speeding and traffic control on Carriage Road have been appropriately referred to the Traffic Safety Committee for neighborhood input and review, and that a report will be brought back.

Jim Whalen, Newland California, 9404 Genesee Avenue, La Jolla In response to Council concerns, City Attorney Eckis recommended language be added to the resolution stating that the visibility of buildings from the south and west will be considered at the time of development review. 3678 Page 7 - CITY OF POWAY - February 27, 1990 Motion by Councilmember Goldsmith, seconded by Councilmember Kruse, to close the public hearing, and adopt Planning Resolution No. P-90-20 entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California, Approving Tentative Tract Map 86-02R{2}, Assessor's Parcel Number 320-032-01, and 317-280-07," as revised regarding Kirkham Road and Gregg Street pump station and reservoir pro-rata costs reimbursement; open space easement and IOD for Lots 97 and 98; and building visibility to be reviewed at time of development approval.

Staff recommends that Council receive and file the report. Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation: Bill Barnick, 14645 Sunrise Canyon Road Council concurred to receive and file the report. ITEM 9 STATEMENT OF SEWER AVAILABILITY APPEAL FOR TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 84-10 LOT SPLIT APPLICANT: PHILIP BUTZEN Staff report by Assistant City Manager Fitch. The applicant is appealing a staff decision that approval of a septic system for a lot split on Lot 5 of TM 84-10, located at the eastern end of Monte Vista Road, east of Pomerado Hospital, does not meet City standards. The applicant proposes to create a new lot for the development of a single family house designed as a residential care facility. Currently, there is no sewer capacity available for new residential projects under the sewer allocation plan adopted by the Council in December, 1989. Staff does not recommend use of an interim septic system due to the pro- ject's proximity to the hospital, an existing sewer system, and the fact that the length of time for the sewer moratorium is unknown. Speaking in opposition to staff determination: Philip Butzen, 12630 Monte Vista Road, Suite 203, applicant, requested allo- cation of one EDU of sewer capacity. City Attorney Eckis recommended that the findings for allocation of sewer capa- city be brought back in a resolution for adoption by the City Council. 3679 Page 8 - CITY OF POWAY - February 27, 1990 Following discussion, motion by Councilmember Kruse, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to approve the issuance of a statement of availability for one EDU from the reserve category, and direct staff to bring back resolution setting forth the findings for allocation of sewer capacity. Motion carried unanimously. ITEM 10 STATEMENT OF SEWER AVAILABILITY APPEAL FOR TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 89-05 APPLICANT: POWAY SUMMIT ESTATES/DELCO HAGAN Staff report by Assistant City Manager Fitch. The applicant is appealing a staff decision that approval of a septic system for a 13 minimum one acre lot residential subdivision, {TTM 89-05), located at the northwest corner of Poway Road and Espola Road, does not meet City standards. Under the current sewer allocation plan, there is no sewer capacity for new residential projects. Staff does not recommend use of an interim septic system in a residential area which would normally connect to the public sewer system if the capacity were available, and the fact that the length of time for the sewer moratorium is unknown. Speaking in opposition to staff determination: Delco Hagan, Sun West Development, Inc., P.O. Box 931, Carlsbad, applicant, requested approval of an interim septic system until additional sewer capacity becomes available. Council concurred that they could not approve an interim septic system for con- nection to the sewer system at a later date, and stated that it would be similar to allocating capacity not yet available. Motion by Councilmember Kruse, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to deny the appeal until additional sewer capacity is available. Motion carried unani- mously. ITEM 11.1 BALLOT MEASURES FOR JUNE 5, 1990 SPECIAL ELECTION Assistant City Manager Fitch stated that this item was continued from January 20, 1990.

The City Attorney's analyses of the two ballot measures has been prepared.

The park site is located off Silverset Street north of Triumph Drive. On December 12, 1989, the City and the Redevelopment Agency approved a Disposition and Development Agreement with Standard Pacific which included funds for the design and construction of a park on the Silverset surplus school property site. A neighborhood meeting was held in January, 1990 to obtain public comment on the park's conceptual plan, which was subsequently reviewed and approved by the Parks and Recreation Committee. The plan includes a baseball field, soccer field, basketball court, restroom, tot lot, picnic area, walking/jogging trail, parking lot and securty lights. Staff has reviewed the request for additional baltfields and recommends approval of the original design with one baseball field, a basketball court and a soccer field. If the Council desires to alter the design, a neighborhood meeting should be held before final approval. Speaking in favor of staff recommendation: Donna Meyers, 13116 Poway Hills Drive Tom Elder, 14749 Fieldview Way Alan Sugarman, 13385 Fallen leaf Road, Chairman Parks and Recreation Committee, stated that the Committee reviewed the park design with only one baseball field. Mary Whitehead, 14608 Brookstone Drive 3681 Page 10 - CITY OF POWAY - February 27, lg90 The neighbors spoke against adding an additional playing field and supported the park's original conceptual plan with one baseball field. They also requested assurances that organized sports would not be allowed. Council concurred that organized sports cannot be prohibited from using neigh- borhood parks as long as there is a shortage of ballfields in the community. Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Kruse, to approve the original conceptual plan for Silverset Park. Motion carried unanimously.
