Ms. Traffenstedt gave the staff report. Gary Austin, 17512 Von Karman Blvd., Irvine, addressed the Council representing Messenger Investment Company. He requested that any reference to proposed minimum and average lot sizes not be acted upon at this time because it is too premature to do so. He said that the traffic analysis portion of the Draft EIR should include the potential impacts of a connection to the project from the western terminus of Campus Park Drive. He said they oppose creating a new open space zone designation for the easterly Specific Plan area that would restrict allowed development in public open space areas. He said his recommendation is that this portion of the property not be studied now but should be considered at a later time. Robert Schrag, 3020 Saturn Street, Brea, addressed the Council representing Unocal. He said Unocal supports the development of the Messenger property. He also said Unocal believes a connection to the SR118 should be made at Alamos Canyon not Lagoon. Councilmember Wozniak said he couldn't support the study of the western terminus of Campus Park Drive now or later. He said he did agree with Gary Austin regarding Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Page 18 June 1, 1994 dealing with the zoning issue relative to the eastern part of the property later. Councilmember Montgomery said that the applicant needs to declare now what development they are proposing so the project can be studied as a whole. He said that anything that is part of the specific plan needs to be studied as a whole. He said it was his understanding that the portion of the property with the Open Space designation would be transferred to a public agency. Gary Austin responded that Messenger was not willing to donate approximately 700 acres to anybody for nothing. He said they just want a designation that will allow them to come back later for a golf course possibly. He said they would like an overlay zone put on the property that says there is a restriction on the property until and unless certain things are done. In response to Council questions, Mr. Aguilera said that it is technically possible to create a special zone designation for this portion of the property and not to study the entire property now. Councilmember Montgomery said he could support not including this portion of the land in the specific plan if the right of access to the land locked property which will cease after different access route is available is established. CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to direct staff to establish that the right of access from Campus Park Drive for the westerly property owners will not cease until after a different access route to their property is established.
