division located on the north side of Heil Avenue at Algonquin Street.
Savoy Bellavia addressed the Commission to outline two suggested addi-
tional conditions of approval which the Fire Department would like
incorporated into any approval of this project; he also noted that a
condition should be added prohibiting recreational vehicles within the
project.
The public hearing on all phases of the request was opened.
Bill Wonacott addressed the Commission in support of the proposal.

also discussed and approved.- Commissioner Higgins expressed the
opinion that this particular project points up the need for a special
ordinance for small planned residential developments or condominium
projects, noting that excessive amounts of paving and recreational open
space for such small developments result from applying the existing
PRD requirements to their design.

TENTATIVE TRACT 10658/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 79-3/NEGATIVE
DECLARATION NO. 79-8
Applicant: Charles Hermansen & Frank Woolsey
To permit construction of 120 condominium units within a one -lot
subdivision located on the southwest corner of Heil Avenue and Green
Street.
Savoy Bellavia informed the Commission that on this map as well
the Fire Department is requesting added conditions regarding
inner turning radii and street designation as approved fire lanes.
The public hearing was opened on all phases of this request.
Craig Combs, architect for the development, addressed the Commis-
sion in support of the project. He asked for relief from the
provisions of proposed condition of approval No. 5, which required
gas and 220V electrical stub -ins for appliances, describing the
"hydronics" system the developer is proposing for water and area
heating purposes which in his opinion would preclude the need for
the condition. There were no other persons to speak in regard
to the project, and the public hearing was closed.
The Commission discussed the applicant's proposed heating system,
considering the future availability of alternative energy sources,
cost to users, and possible -energy savings. It was the consensus
that the condition should be retained but with some flexibility
to allow the developer to provide staff with statistics and further
information on the system.
Commissioner Cohen expressed concern with the revenue vs. expendi-
ture ratios of developments of this nature and discussed the
timing on the proposed fiscal impact model; Mr. Palin reviewed
-5- 3-20-79 - P.C.
Minutes, H.B. Planning Commission
March 20, 1979
Page 6
the progress of the contractual arrangements for that study.
Ron Lacher informed the Commission that sewers in the area are
adequate to accept the proposed development.
Commissioner Stern discussed problem areas in the proposal;
namely, the distances from some of the units to their assigned
parking spaces and the proximity of the main entry off Green
Street to Heil Avenue, which he felt could create a bad traffic
situation. Craig Combs said.that no distance from parking to
units is greater than 200 feet, an acceptable distance in their
experience. He added that it is planned to install dumb waiters
for the second story units to aid residents in transporting
groceries, etc.
Commissioner Bazil indicated his opinion that the distance of the
entry street from Heil Avenue should not pose a problem since
the entry is from a residential street. Savoy Bellavia informed
the Commission that this distance may change slightly, as the staff
is requesting.the Commission for authorization to work with the
Fire Department and the developer to try to reduce the width of the
drive; this would cut down on the amount of paved surface and also
increase the open space area. Mr. Combs expressed his willingness
to continue to work with the City staff in this regard.

PRECISE PLAN OF STREET ALIGNMENT NO. 79-1
Initiated by Development Services ,
A proposal to precise plan an 80 foot wide secondary arterial street
commencing from Ellis Avenue, curving westerly to align with Crystal
Street at Ernest Avenue, ending at Garfield Avenue.
The public hearing was opened. Don Weir, Property owner in the area,
addressed the Commission to discuss the proposed precise plan. He
-11- 3-20-79 - P.C.
Minutes, H.B. Planning Commission
March 20, 1979
Page 12
questioned whether or not the street will go through to Main Street,
and when told that it would not at the present time but would
eventually go through he suggested that traffic impacts in the interim
could present problems. He also discussed how the existing oil wells
in the right-of-way would be handled. Mr. Palin informed him that
it will be some time before the full width of the street is needed and
it is possible that the wells will be phased out before that time. If
not, there are ways to handle them; e.g, a modified intersection for
the first half block or burial of the units within the right-of-way,
which has been done with utility junctions. There being no other
persons to address the Commission, the public hearing was closed.
Commission discussion ensued. Commissioner Stern pointed that one
section of Ernest Street beginning about halfway between Stewart,and
Crystal narrows to 30 feet rather than the 60 feet existing west of
that point, and suggested that it be widened to improve the intersec-
tion of Ernest and Crystal. The Commission reviewed this concept
and it was the consensus that such action should not be included on
this precise plan but could be submitted as a recommendation to the
City Council for future action.

and reviewed the history of the development at that location. The
Commission discussed the mixed -use concept with Mr. Mickelson and
concurred that he could proceed to file the required requests for en-
titlement for the uses. Mr. Mickelson offered to review and critique
the mixed -use ordinance the City had at one time considered; he also
said he would prepare a list of such mixed -use developments in the
area so that the Commission could visit them and observe at first
hand how other such developments have been operating.
COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS:
Commissioner Cohen requested to be kept up to date on possible County
diversion of funds originally earmarked for sewer use; he also dis-
cussed the zoning of the oil islands in the Seacliff project areas.
After review, it was the consensus of the Commission that these areas
should be studied with a view to making the island zoning compatible
with the uses surrounding them.
Commissioner Bazil discussed the importance of precise planning an
alignment for 38th StreO-t as soon as possible.
Commissioner Russell discussed the requirements for special event
permits and the method of processing any future development request
on the property included in the withdrawn Tentative Tract 10440.
Commissioner Higgins pointed out the need for a small planned resi-
dential development ordinance.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT ITEMS:
