Mayor Hunter opened the public hearing.
Michael Greynald, 711 Daily Drive, No. 110, Camarillo,
representing Morrison - Fountainwood- Agoura, discussed the
proposed tentative tract map, including compatibility of
the tentative map to the approved Specific Plan No. 2. He
stated that Areas No. 1 and 5, as shown on the land use
plan, would have private recreation areas due to smaller
lot areas. He also stated that they accepted the
conditions of approval as written.
Gerald Goldstein, 11932 Los Angeles Avenue, stated that
concrete block walls within the proposed project should

In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus stated that the

requirements for the smaller lot areas. He suggested
that an additional condition be added to require an image
conversion file for the final map prior to recordation.
He discussed the wall requirements in the conditions of
approval for south and north of High Street.
Councilmember Harper stated he was not comfortable that
only Areas 1 and 5 on the land use plan would have
private recreation areas.
Mr. Kueny suggested that the Council make the decision
now, at the tentative map stage, regarding the private
recreation area requirements.

Councilmember Harper regarding the need for more private
recreation areas.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Greynald stated that
private recreation areas could be an amenity from a
marketing standpoint, but that he had not looked at the
overall economic feasibility.
In response to Councilmember Rodgers, Mr. Greynald agreed
that there was a need for senior housing, but stated that
the planned two -story homes in Area 1 would not be
appropriate for senior housing. He suggested that in
Area 5 they could do upstairs /downstairs type units that
could facilitate senior housing in the downstairs units.

he would consider providing a private recreation area in
all Planning Areas except 8 and 9, which had lot sizes of
10,000 square feet and larger. He also stated that Area
5 would be the best for senior housing.
In response to Councilmember Evans, Mr. Greynald stated
that combining part of Area 1 with Area 5 for senior
housing would not work with the lot sizes as proposed.
In response to Councilmember Rodgers, Mr. Greynald stated
that they could restrict sales of a certain number of
units overall for senior housing, but that the type of
housing unit may not be appropriate for seniors.
In response to Councilmember Rodgers, Mr. Loftus stated
that the Residential Planned Development (RPD) Permit
could include design criteria for senior housing.

Agreement, any senior units not in Area 5 would have to
be market rate.

Specific Plan may also require amendment. He also stated
that public hearings would be held at the RPD Permit
stage.
Mayor Hunter stated that Mr. Greynald has demonstrated
his willingness to work with the City and asked what was
required to move forward with approval of the tentative
map.

Council could continue the public hearing to allow the
applicant to consider the Council's goals. He also
stated that revisions to the tentative map could be
conditioned.

later required if needed. He also stated that

In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Loftus stated that the

equipment on Walnut Canyon Road and that the truck
traffic would remain on Walnut Canyon Road.

language of Section 6 of the Development Agreement
pertaining to incorporation into the conditions of
approval. He stated that if the Development Agreement
were no longer in effect, the tentative map would expire
before the seven years allowed with the Development
Agreement. He also stated that the construction
requirement for arterial streets, such as Spring Road,
was for a 30 -year life to reduce future maintenance
costs.
