April 3, 1991
Terry Hockett, Thomas Montgomery & Associates, 2151
Alessandro Drive, Ventura, stated a little more
space will be needed on the west side of Walnut
Canyon Road, but it should not warrant more right -
of -way being required to accommodate a left turn
lane onto Casey Road.
Councilmember Montgomery clarified the fact that
there is no relationship between he and the
ownership or employees of Thomas Montgomery &
Associates.
Councilmember Montgomery stated there are two
different concerns with regard to the resolution of
the sight distance problem to be considered for
this project: 1) when a car is travelling east on
Casey Road and turns north onto Walnut Canyon Road,
and 2) when a car turns left from Walnut Canyon
Road onto Casey Road (going west). Number 2 will
be solved with a turn lane; however, Councilmember
Montgomery said the sight distance in situation
Number 1 above, needs to be reviewed again by the
applicant.
Councilmember Wozniak said there is another
intersection that warrants traffic evaluation,
where Wicks Road meets Walnut Canyon Road.
Councilmember Wozniak requested an analysis.

stated that they are not opposed to the development
of the project, but the road they travel to get to
their property is not shown on the map Mr. Guny has
proposed. They said they have sold their property
and want to close escrow in thirty days. It would
be very costly to get a drive built with retaining
walls, etc. They said the project should not be
approved without an easement allowing them access
to their property.

April 3, 1991

arguments presented by the other speakers. He
stated that Mr. Latunski was given the opportunity
for an easement. Mr. Guny also stated that Mr. and
Mrs. Jacoby knew about the access road and that he
has met with them and had offered to purchase their
property at a fair market value.

4035 Thousand Oaks Blvd, Suite 120, Thousand Oaks,
