values in Moorpark have increased due to the Toll development; and 4)
Toll Brothers has provided a championship golf course for the community.

1) Clarification needed of any problems with access to the Mazur property;
2) Clarification needed for the ownership of the five acres not included in

prohibit cutting down the hill and instead bring in dirt for the project; 5)
Discrepancy in the 38 acres Toll Brothers owns and the 44 -plus acres in
the projects; 6) Simplify everything by requiring Toll Brothers to get a two -
thirds vote from the homeowners in favor of these projects and end the

should be taken off calendar until issues are resolved; 9) Density for this
Minutes of the City Council

area should not be changed; and 10) Access should be from Grimes
Canyon Road not across the disputed land.
Greg Horton, Roseann Stevenson, and Shehbaz Siddiq offered comments
on the projects including: 1) The need for a commitment from Toll for a
neighborhood park, landscaping adjacent to Palmer Drive, a security
barrier of guard to prevent construction traffic from speeding, and a
reduction in the number of duplicate models in the Santa Barbara and San
Marino styles; 2) Concurrence with Toll Brothers that the HOA attorney
should be able to resolve the outstanding issue within 45 days; and 3) A
request to have a gate installed at Palmer Drive due to lack of security
during construction.
In response to Mayor Hunter, Ms. Traffenstedt summarized the 13 Written
Statement cards in favor of the projects including remarks that Toll
Brothers has done a good job; they build quality homes; and the projects
will help the property tax base and local sales tax.
Mr. Messi stated Toll Brothers is in support of a continuance and
responded to the residents' and Council's concerns by describing
measures Toll Brothers will take to resolve issues concerning gating off
sections so construction traffic will not impact existing Country Club Estate
residents; integration of landscaping on Palmer Drive; research siting a
park somewhere in the project, if the Ventura County Fire Protection
District determines they need property for a helispot; reduction in Santa
Barbara and San Marino models; and supplying a list in writing of
resolution of customer service /warranty issues.
In response to Council's concerns, Mr. Hogan stated the fence separating
these projects from adjacent property is subject to the Community
Development Director's approval; the berms around the detention basin
are conditioned to be densely landscaped; and additional landscaping
along Palmer Drive and the south side of Championship Drive would
require Council direction to amend the existing RPD.
