Bob McLain of McLain Development Company appeared before the Planning Commission and advised that The Irvine Company would cover the paleontology issue. Larry Moore, Associate Director, Planning Admini- stration, The Irvine Company, appeared before the Planning Commission with the proposal that the site be made available, through his office, for at least the next two months to any responsible person or organization desiring to explore the possibility of locating a paleontological find. He urged that this be done immediately in order that more extensive digging could be performed before grading for the development began, should the site contain a significant find. Planning Commission discussed the proposal as well as funds needed for the exploratory work and determination of a controlling agency for the fi.nd. Bob McLain of McLain Development Company appeared before the Planning Commission to discuss and answer questions relative to the parking and need Page 7. COMMISSIONERS CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ROOCALL m p J a n u a r v 3. 1974 MINUTES -- -- - - " - INDEX for additional recreation areas. He felt there was more parking proposed than that required in the R -1 District, that the Community Association would patrol the parking, that the project would not appeal to large families with a great number of cars, and that large parties would be handled by valet service. As to the need for additional recreation areas, he felt there was an honest disagreement in that the type of development pro- posed would not lend itself to organized recreation and that the proposed recreation areas would be sufficient. Planning Commission discussed the information contained in McLain's letter of December 27, 1973, relative to parking. They also discussed rental of the parking spaces rather than same being included with the sale of the condominiums. Larry Moore advised the Planning Commission that they felt there was adequate parking on the site and the utilization and enforcement of same should • be the responsibility of the Community Association. Planning Commission discussed control of the park- ing through the C.C.& R.s. They also discussed the matter of recreation and compared other devel- opments within the City to the ones proposed in Areas 1 and 6 of Big Canyon. The widening of Ford Road and scheduling for construction of same was discussed. Michael Packard with The Irvine Company appeared before the Planning Commission and advised that the Company was presently negotiating with the City for the improvement of Ford Road, part of the agreement being that the Irvine Company would construct the improvements on the southerly portio of Ford Road and be reimbursed by the City at a later date through their Capital Improvement program. This would create an interim condition whereby there could be two travel lanes in each direction with minor modifications at the inter- section of Jamboree and Ford Roads on the northerl side. In discussing the paleontological issue, the Planning Commission felt that the initial explor- ation of the sites was the responsibility of the City and that funds should be set aside for said exploration in order to determine if there is a significant paleontological find.
