PAGE EIGHT - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 28, 1989
(PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO. 33 - CONTINUED)

amount to 30 acres. will this be enough?
Mr. Miller stated that the parks are planned next to the
school sites and with a Joint Powers Agreement these

Especially fire.

that there is surplus in other areas to make up for
this negative.
6. The Developers Agreement needs to address all areas of
concern prior to grading.
Mayor Winkler questioned the east end 1/2 acre lots.
Mr. Miller stated that there are lots of varying acreage
along this side. The County zoning would allow SUbdivision
of 1/2 acre lots.
Councilman Washburn stated that he felt that this is the time
for Council to ask for a Mello-Roos to support police and
fire as well as the library. He questioned the concern of
Pardee Construction Company in forming a Mello-Roos.
.....
Mr. Miller stated that Pardee Construction asked for a
continuance so that Pardee's group would have the opportunity
to address the Mello-Roos issue and parks with the Council.
Mayor Winkler posed the possibility of insuring more police
protection for the area if they are picking up the costs.
He questioned if there was a legal way of implementing that
possibility?
Mr. Harper cautioned Council regarding input from the
Developer or anyone else outside the public arena. Concerns
should be addressed to staff who will then deal with the
developer. Mr. Harper again reminded Council that this is a
closed public hearing. Your concerns should be stated
publicly or to staff to resolve.
Councilman Starkey stated that his question was answered by
Condition # 29 regarding the fire station. He further stated
that in reading this it is his understanding that a new
firestation will be built within the next two years.
Councilman Washburn reminded those present that he is aware
that in all areas there are trade offs. He stated that if
there is a problem with Railroad Canyon Road and turn key
parks regarding their development then he further has a
problem with granting extra density.
