Wayne Duncan, 14430 Silver Heights Road
Michael Djobadze, 14361 Silver Heights Road

after TTM 89-03 was approved and they had no input into the planning process.
They were opposed to two-story homes looking down on their homes, their road
going through this project and allowing access to the greater Garden Road area,
deletion of the park, lack of access to the rear of their lots, lack of
sufficient buffer between their homes and the new homes, and devaluation of their
homes from lower-priced homes next to them.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Randy Wilkins, 14617 Acton Court, representing the Garden Road
Homeowners Association.
Richard Sax, 2205 Mountain Vista Drive, Encinitas, representing Premium
Investors
Council discussed with the City Attorney what latitude they had in this meeting
to make any changes to the project. City Attorney Eckis pointed out that the
development review process is to discuss appearance and siting of homes. The
City Council cannot change the street pattern or any requirements of the
tentative tract map without a public hearing. However, if the design of the
project requires more screening, additional landscaping can be required.
Staff pointed out the constraints in the design of this subdivision, including
the RR-A property in the center and the topography. They noted that a grading
plan has been approved and the grading has started.
