Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California Page 4 August 20, 2003
Questions from the Council focused on whether the
project has double -pane windows; whether the developer
for the project is working with the Fish and Game
Department for a stream alteration permit; whether the
Planning Commission had discussed the architecture
depicted in the elevations; whether more articulation
could be added to the posts at doorway entrances;
whether restrictions could be placed on the species of
trees selected to avoid trees overpowering the small
yards; whether there were any concerns about the slope
failing; whether a noise study could be performed in
regard to the retaining wall; whether there is
sufficient parking; whether Tract 5187 is responsible
for maintenance of the slopes to the west and what
entity is responsible for the perimeter landscaping;
aesthetic and stability concerns with the proposed
soil nail retaining wall; and whether separate
landscape districts would be better replaced by
incorporating the affordable units into the
Homeowners' Association (HOA) for the adjacent Tract
5187.
Mr. Hogan stated the entire project will have double -
pane windows; due to the early start on grading, the
applicant has already met with California Fish and
Game regarding a stream alteration permit; Planning
Commissioner DiCecco indicates the applicant has done
a better than adequate job in dealing with the small
lots and only suggests re- plotting some of the homes
to provide more usable side yard space; the applicant
can work on improving the articulation of the entry
posts; staff is confident the slopes will not slide
and soil nailing has been determined by the City
Engineer to be a better alternative than installing a
standard retaining wall; an echo effect was not
considered and an addendum to the noise report could
be performed; it is anticipated 2 cars can be parked
in each garage, 2 cars can park in each driveway, and
not quite 1 car per home can park in the street; Tract
5187 will be responsible for care of the landscaped
slopes to the west and the soil nail retaining wall,
while a Landscape Maintenance District will be
established for maintenance on Walnut Canyon Road; the
view of the soil nail wall will be softened by
landscaping; and the Tract 5187 HOA bears
responsibility if the soil nail wall were to fail.

Mayor Hunter opened the public hearing.
Desmond Bunting, representing William Lyon Homes,
Inc., 23975 Park Sorrento, No. 220, Calabasas, stated
his concurrence with the project conditions and his
notation of Council's concerns; all environmental
permits are in place for the adjacent Tract and this
development; they are willing to work with staff to
enhance articulation of the front entrances; and they
would support adding this development to the existing
Landscape District if that is the preference.
Questions from the Council focused on whether the wall
is depicted accurately in the photo; whether the
applicant would agree to allow staff to have latitude
in regard to the landscape issue on whether to combine
with the adjacent HOA or be maintained separately; and
whether the applicant would be agreeable to a noise
study addendum.
Mr. Hogan stated the actual retaining wall is only 25-
feet high while the photo sample depicts a 40 -foot
wall.
Mr. Kueny stated staff's direction would be to apply
the least expensive landscape maintenance district
option; and the conditions could be modified to
require a noise study.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Bunting stated he was
agreeable to the requirement for a noise study.
Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing.

turn egress with the level of existing traffic;
altering the center median and extending the two left
turn lanes to allow for more stacking; the poor design
of the initial center; existing businesses are aware

possibility of providing left turns with restricted
hours.

Councilmembers Harper and Mikos repeated their
concerns that this intersection is dangerous and based
upon the evidence received, it would be extremely
unsafe to allow left turns.
Mr. Gilbert made the Council aware the design for
widening Spring Road is almost complete and to
lengthen the turn lanes would necessitate widening
more of the roadway, taking more right -of -way from the
apartments.

Parvin seconded a motion to approve Option 5 with pavement
stenciling in the turning area to "Keep Clear" and
extension of the stacking lanes for south bound traffic.
