Mayor Parvin opened the public hearing.
John Newton, Newton & Associates, 159 Moonsong Court, Moorpark,
representing the applicant, Birdsall Group, LLC, provided Council with a
copy of a revised Construction Management Plan dated January 9, 2019
replacing the one in the staff report. He summarized the actions taken at
the Planning Commission meetings held prior to coming to Council;
acknowledged the Easement to Lot 11 has now been signed, but not
recorded; stated continued negotiations will take place with the Pinnacle
Homeowners Association to resolve the easement issue; explained the
revised Construction Management Plan; stated additional discussions
need to take place with the Leavens Ranch pertaining to allowing
construction related vehicle access through their property to the project
site; contact information for the developer and the City will be printed on
the project sign for use by the neighbors in the Pinnacle HOA.
Ellis Kaufman, President of Pinnacle HOA stated many of their members
were in the audience and thanked the City Council for the opportunity to
express their concerns, and stated City staff have been very helpful
regarding the issues of concern. He also stated they are pleased to learn
that all construction traffic will not travel through the Pinnacle, but wanted
to state that there is no recorded easement with access rights through the
Pinnacle gates to drive on their private streets; there is also no
enforceable Cautionary Agreement between the Pinnacle and the Birdsall
development; and another concern is access to the Pinnacle for sales
activity for which they are requesting a condition of approval be added to
the project not to not allow access until all 21 homes are constructed and
sold.
John Jonas, resident of Pinnacle neighborhood and Board Member of the
Pinnacle HOA, thanked the Council and staff for taking the time to meet
with the Pinnacle residents. He stated the Cautionary Agreement between
Toll Brothers and Pinnacle was never recorded and there was no
Easement to allow access to their roads. He also stated progress has
been made on addressing the Pinnacle homeowners' concerns regarding
construction traffic, but not the ongoing sales traffic. He requested
additional Conditions of Approval to address the residents' concerns or the
development should be denied.
Mayor Parvin closed the public hearing.
A discussion followed between the Council and staff regarding the project
phasing; use of Marine View Lane being for Fire District access only;
Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency
Moorpark, California
Page 6 January 16, 2019
clarification of whether there is an Agreement with the Masters HOA;
construction management plan; a request for solar panels and electric car
plug-in capability for garages; no sales access through Pinnacle; a
recommendation that when the models are available the common areas
be completed; the trails will be separated from the street and will connect
to the Pinnacle trail system; and amend the conditions to show the
Moorpark Highland Park has already been constructed.
Mr. Newton responded to Council's question regarding sales access to the
project by saying he is unsure how that will be resolved, but they will be
working with the Pinnacle HOA.
Mr. Ennis stated the historical documents for this project provide a basis
for both sides to resolve this. The City must be mindful of adding to the
project as there is a Development Agreement with Birdsall giving them a
right to develop. The easement was not recorded so Pinnacle residents
did not have notice of it. The final map for the Pinnacle did make
reference for easements for future access. This is a new approval of the
Tentative Map with an extension of the RPD.
The Mayor reopened the public hearing to take testimony from David
Schwabauer, one of the trustees of the JG Leavens Trust, owner of the
land that Leavens Ranch rents. Mr. Schwabauer stated orderly growth is
important and this project is logical for this area. He stated he is willing to
work with the builder to make this project happen and stated the License
Agreement with Birdsall is their preference although they could continue to
discuss options.
Mayor Parvin reclosed the public hearing.
MOTION: Councilmember Pollock moved and Mayor Parvin seconded a motion
to adopt Resolution No. 2019-3779 conditionally re-approving Vesting Tentative
Tract Map No. 5437 and a one year extension to Residential Planned
Development Permit No. 2004-05. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
