Applicant: The Irvine Company, Newport Beach Owners: The Irvine Company, Newport Beach; Irvine Ranch Water District, Irvine• The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Los Angele Engineer: Simpson - Steppat, Newport Beach Assistant Community Development Director Hewicker briefly reviewed the actions of the Planning Commission taken on October 24, 1974 in connection with the various matters which were referred back to the Commission by the City Council. Page 10. COMMISSIONERS CITY OF NEWPORT BEAC�I rslI m NnvPmhar 91_ 1A74 MINUTES lun9v Community Development Director Hogan reviewed the matters still under consideration, i.e., that of canyon ownership and location of Spyglass Hill Road. Environmental Coordinator Foley reviewed the various plans for alternative realignments of Spyglass Hill Road which were considered by the staff as well as those which were not given as much consideration because of the disadvantages which far outweighted the advantages of such realignment. He also commented on the various effects the alternatives would have on the canyon area with respect to ownership. Community Development Director Hogan reviewed the supplemental report pertaining to ownership of. the canyon and commented on the various problems involved, including that of maintenance, liability and cost thereof. Planning Commission reviewed and discussed the • various realignment alternatives which had been presented for their consideration, including the feasibility of the City accepting only a portion of the canyon area and the original alignment.of Spyglass Hilt Road which was approved with the Planned Community Text for Harbor View Hills. In discussing Plans "C" and "D," City. Engineer Nolan advised that the Public Works Department recommended against these plans because of the traffic safety problems. Plan C required that some of the homes take access from an arterial highway containing steep grades and curves and lacking a parking lane adjacent to the curb. Plan D indicated that the intersection of the cul -de -sac road with the westerly side of Spyglass Hill Road would be located at the steepest part of Spyglass Hill Road. Mr. Nolan advised there were design technicques which could lessen the safety hazards, however, another point to consider was that direct access as shown on Plan C does not conform to the County requirements for arterial highways and could jeopardize the City's partici- pation in the County Highway Arterial Financing Program. • Planning Commission continued their discussion of canyon ownership and the cost of maintenance whether all or part was publicly owned. Access points to the canyon were also discussed. Page 11. COMMISSIONERS CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH � 't n Novamhar 21- 1974 MINUTES ,unev Public hearing was opened in connection with the above three items. Dave Neish, Manager, Planning Administration, The Irvine Company, appeared before the Commission and advised of their recommendation that the canyo be publicly owned and that the original alignment of Spyglass Hill Road he approved. Don Simpson, grading consultant for The Irvine Company, appeared before the Commission and answer- ed questions in connection with the various gradin plans, disposition of the earth and the cost there- of. Gary Cook, Residential Project Manager, The Irvine Company, appeared before the Commission and answer- ed questions relative to the project. Walt Heeley, 16 Mission Bay Drive, appeared before the Commission and voiced disappointment with the alternatives which were presented for consideration. He commented on the project and requested a com- • promise in that Plan E be constructed without homes on the canyon side of Spyglass Hill Road and felt that such a plan should be shown in detail to the Commission and residents before a recommendation is made. He felt that more con- sideration should be given to the existing home- owners in order to preserve the property values. Lloyd Locka, Malibu Circle, appeared before the. Commission and stated he felt the canyon area, whether publicly or privately owned, should remain in its natural state. Mrs. Bisaccio, 22 Mission Bay Drive, appeared before the Commission and advised she felt the homeowners were misinformed and the proposed development was misrepresented when the homes were purchased. There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearings were closed. Motion X Motion was made that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that Plan E be adopted and that a further examination of the • problem of relocating the homes proposed for the canyon side of Spyglass Hill Road be undertaken; that the canyon be publicly owned and that the paseo along Spyglass Hill Road be relocated to the canyon side of the road. Page 12. COMMISSIONERS CITY OF NEWPORT BEAC8 MINUTES WE CALL November 21, 1974 INDEX The motion was discussed and it was generally felt that the lots on the canyon side of Spyglass Hill Road should be deleted, however, because of the economic factor, the entire project should be reviewed for the purpose of relocating the deleted lots. At this point the motion was amended and re- stated for the purpose of clarification as follows: Motion Y Planning Commission recommend to the City Council the following: 1. That Plan E be adopted. 2. That the homes on the canyon side of Spyglass Hill Road be deleted, and if desired, relocat- ed elsewhere in the development. 3. That the canyon be publicly owned and maintained in its natural state. 4. That the paseo along Spyglass Hill Road be • relocated to the canyon side of the road. The effect of the proposed action as it pertained to the previous approval of Tentative Map Tract 8725 was discussed. It was pointed out that the previous approval of the tentative map by the Commission -was still in effect and that the pro - posed recommendation to the City Council was an amendment to the previous approval because of the new information which had been received and reviewed. Commissioner Heather felt that the City was settin a precedent by recommending realignment of the roadway on the premise that adjacent property owners felt the original alignment was misrepre- sented and felt their grievance with The Irvine Company should be handled through the courts and was not a proper function of the Planning Commis- sion.
