Mr. Froman identified Vesting Tentative Tract 4792 RPD 91 -2 and ZC 91 -1 as being consistent with approved Planned Community No. 3, General Plan and Specific Plan, EIR, and subsequent studies and updates. That the number of units requested are below the allowable units proposed.

RPD -91 -2 Condition No. 49 - Regarding the Peach Hill Water Course. UWC is ready, willing and able to construct County Hill as soon as an approval and permit given. Although a maintenance agreement between the City and County is still needed the applicant can not comply with Condition No. 49 and requested that the language stated as follows: "Developer shall commence construction of the northeastern extension of Countryhill Road within 30 days of the City and the County of Ventura having entered into a maintenance agreement for the Peach Hill Watercourse and related facilities, and having issued necessary permits." el a: \91 -12.2 Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 Internal Page -5- Drainage - The same principle as the ribbon gutter design will be implemented in this project to facilitate drainage except that concrete is being used on this tract instead of asphalt.

Tentative mitigation fees shall be used for projects such as, but not limited to New Los Angeles Avenue. Crossing r" Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 Page -6- Guard - Since the EIR and traffic studies do not warrant a crossing guard it is the opinion that it is not the responsibility of the applicant and that the condition be deleted. Map Condition No. 23 - This condition would require that future homeowners be required to participate in a landscape assessment district for Mountain Trail and Countryhill. UWC did not agree that it was necessary because the CC &R's requires the maintenance along the collectors adjacent to the tract. Request that the condition be deleted. In summary Mr. Froman repeated that Vesting Tentative Tract 4792 RPD 91 -2 and ZC 91 -1 as being consistent with approved Planned Community No. 3, General Plan and Specific Plan, EIR, and subsequent studies and updates. That the number of units requested are below the allowable units proposed. Chairman Wesner reopened the public hearing. Testimony received by the following: Janet Gauger, 4015 Winterwood Court, Moorpark, CA. Ms. Gauger said that last Wednesday evening she first became aware of UWC intent to change the size and price of the proposed townhouse. Ms. Gauger informed the Commission of many residents in opposition to the proposal and identified 50 homeowners who have responded in writing. Ms. Gauger read from a prepared announcement. "We would like to express our concern and displeasure of proposed reduction in size of the townhomes to be built by UWC. We realize that these are tough times for developers, I would like to see UWC build homes that they could sell but not if those homes have a negative impact on the existing neighborhood. 'We are a family oriented neighborhood of home of 2,000 - 3,800 sq. ft. 1,100 sq.ft. townhomes are merely apartment size. These small units will most likely be purchased by singles or couples without children. Couples who have I— a:\91 -12.2 Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 children soon will n growing families. Lea want a family neighb ;reduce the size of the unit slightly larger, them from $180,000 - keeping with the sur . making the units affc located between the k shopping center is r complex can cause si children. Larger fam desirable. We would p on Mountain Trail is a ove to seek more room for their ving the units open to renters. We )rhood like out own, if UWC must units to sell them try making each 1,500 - 2,000 sq.ft. and pricing 200,000. This would be more in - ounding neighborhood while still rdable. Having a singles couples igh school, elementary school and of a smart idea. This type of :fety and drug problems for our Lly size units are definitely more refer a less dense complex, traffic reatly increased due to the ooenina of Arroyo West School. The new shopping center will soon add to this. It is very difficult to make a right hand turn and nearly impossible to make a left hand turn from :Mountain Meadow Drive onto Mountain Trail during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. to 3:15 P.M. School children, bicycles, buses, and parents all using the same road. 200 more units and 400 more cars will be an additional unwanted burden. Stop signs or stop lights will need to be installed at Mountain Meadows and Cedar Springs intersections of Mountain Trail. As homeowners we were aware that townhomes would be built on this parcel and have no objection to townhomes. We were assured that both townhome projects would be an asset to our neighborhood. 1100 sq. ft. will not enhance our neighborhood. Lets compromise, slightly larger units 1,500 to 2,000 sq.ft. will more likely be purchased by families and provide a safer development source so near our schools. Please keep Mountain Meadows a family development." Commissioner Torres inquired of Ms. Gauger whether UWC provided a disclosure regarding the townhomes in the Mountain Meadows area, and if she had previous knowledge to a previous proposal to provide multi - family homes at the Sunny Glen location which is now single family homes.Also whether there was an implication as to the size cost of the proposed townhomes. - a: \91 -12.2 Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 Page -8- Ms. Gauger replied that UWC had met with some residents and proposed a larger and high market price than currently proposed. Ann Merlino, 3994 Quailwood Street, Moorpark, CA. Ms. Merlino stated that UWC new proposal would have a great impact on the community, speaking as a real estate agent. Ms. Merlino read a letter saying: "It looks like we all made some mistakes in believing that our homes were an investment. We homeowners have to live with our wrong predictions of our economy, well UWC should have to live with the same reality. We simply must not let them change their commitment to build larger :homes in the vacant area near the Quail Ridge and Buttercreek Homes. If the market is not their at this time, simply postpone the building of the promised homes or do what other business have done to be more economical in the building. They should not have the luxury of :having the Planning Commission rectify their over- estimation of the economy." Another letter read: "We were horrified to read that UWC would even consider building low -cost apartment -type townhomes in the middle of the expensive homes that were purchased and have spent many dollars on upgrading. If there was an incline that they would not be honorable that they would build deluxe homes as they promised we would not have purchased a Buttercreek home from them. We know that apartment size homes as we would like to have it rented but is proposed in an area were it is not justified - not in Moorpark. The fact that townhomes were built prior and all knew exactly what they were buying. For the Planning Commission to consider the change in plans, and that Moorpark does not need any investment type rentals, and is exactly what the proposed units would become." Commissioner Torres inquired of Ms. Merlino UWC provided a disclosure regarding the townhomes in the Mountain Meadows i a:\91 -12.2 Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 Page -9- area, and if she had previous knowledge to a previous proposal to provide multi - family homes. Ms. Merlino said she had prior information and documentation regarding the townhomes and only aware of the South Village proposal. Susan Laury, 4006 Winter wood Court, Moorpark, CA. Ms. Laury opposed to the proposal, and in agreement with the previous speakers. She went on to read a letter of opposition. "To Whom It May Concern, I will be unable to attend the meeting on 2 December 1991, but I am strongly opposed to a high density development in this area. It is on a principal access road to three schools and is heavily traveled by children. I have personally witness two near accidents involving youngsters on bicycle on Mountain Trail. I am convinced that high density housing of this :nature describe wall attract many new residents more typical impaction and incentive to children, i.e. younger couples and single people without children who are unaware that the extra caution that may be exercised to protect them. I believe that this development on the scale indicated on this site is a prescription for tragedy. It can not in due conscience be allowed. ,Signed by: Douglas I. Homes Jr." Another letter: "Moorpark Planning Commission, I don't must have children in school that are on the Planning Commission. I have :had enough of this building in Moorpark. Everything but store or shops. I have to go to Simi or Thousand Oaks almost to get everything. If this goes through my house is up for sale. That was the whole reason we moved out :here from Los Angeles. I had problems with UWC before and it wasn't hard to believe that their trying to break their promise. Signed by: Michael Masd Commissioner Torres inquired of Ms. Laury if UWC provided a disclosure regarding the townhomes in the Mountain Meadows area, and if she had previous knowledge to a previous proposal to provide multi - family homes. Ms. Laury said she had prior information of homes behind the fire station and implied townhomes as equally nice as home across the way. Commissioner Torres asked what were the ideas of the up coming a: \91 -12.2 Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 Page -10- proposal for 254 multi - family units. Ms. Laury said if they are the quality and size originally stated then there was agreement in the proposed development. Patti Smith, 12686 Countrymeadow Street, Moorpark, CA Ms. Smith referenced the letter that was received by the Commission at their November 18, 1991 meeting. Ms. Smith stated that the initial concern of the proposed plan was that it was not consistent with UWC verbal commitment to the existing homeowners. UWC told of the project being similar to the development of the Mountain Trail townhomes and that the intent was that some of the property owners of both projects to share some of the recreation facilities. The West Villas as currently proposed has substantially smaller units and greater density, increase traffic problems, and further complicated by the South Meadows Park, shopping center, West Ranch Park, and 250 townhomes already approved on the other side of Mountain Trail, remaining homes to be built to the west and east, fire station. Currently the only access is Mountain Trail and Countryhill are exits to the proposed project and is a potential for an extreme and unwarranted congestion in this area of the City. She requested that the Planning Commission address the design, size and number of units. Other concerns related to on -site guest parking and since the units are small residents would tend to use the garage space for storage or a extra room and would use the guest parking for their own purpose and there is no provision for overflow.The traffic exiting on Mountain Trail will be potentially dangerous. Considerations should be made to a 4 way traffic signal for the benefit of all. The light at Tierra Rejada would not help negotiate and additional 200 units and shopping center traffic. That right turn only movement should be considered for the exit on this project onto Countryhill, because of it's proximity to the school exit. The issue of wood fencing has been an issue, especially with r a: \91 -12.2 Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 the Wallows HOA. The wood siding deteriorates sooner and need repair. Regarding inter streets they are proposed to be very narrow. UWC provided the HOA a presentation of the current proposal on November 11, 1991 one week prior to public hearing and they indicated that the price range would be $160,000 to $190,000 selling price range. Upon an inquiry to the sales office of UWC, price range was quoted at $130,000 to $150,000 and available in 10 months and would offer government loans, specifically FHA insured. Ms. Smith agreed with the developers concept of making money, but that it was not a good business practice to mislead the people who helped make it for the developer along the way. Many homeowners who did receive the public hearing notice and that were not present are assuming that UWC would built the same quality product that had been previously promised said r Ms. Smith. Commissioner Torres inquired of Ms. Smith how the proposed information was provided to her. She responded, at the November 11, 1991 meeting. William Marlatt, Winterwood Court, Moorpark, CA. Opposed to the multi- family townhomes for the following reasons: 1. Traffic congestion problems that already exist without the completion of approved development; 2. Emergency vehicle traffic circulation; 3. Will devaluate the existing single family homes; 4. Crime related to high density; 5. Settling problems which currently exist and have not been remedied; Karen L. Douglas, 11733 Chestnut Ridge Street, Moorpark, CA. Ms. Douglas explained to the Commission that she was not an original homeowner in the area and has been unaware of the current and existing proposals of UWC. a: \91 -12.2 r Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 She addressed her concerns to traffic, children safety, bicyclist and those who disregard or are irresponsible with their driving. That childless couples who are not going to be concerned about in the area and consider it just a place where they reside. The project as proposed is not even large enough to start a famil=y. Her concern was the type of people that would be attracted to the development because of the pricing, she predicted a drug problem because of the potential impact of schools. This proposal would be a disruption of her family life, she said. H. Russel Douglas, 11733 Chestnut Ridge Street, Moorpark, CA. Mr. Douglas stated that the appeals of the residents that spoke, were emotional appeals to the Commission. He asked of the Commission what is the criteria to repeal the current plan proposed. Chairman Wesner said that the current method of residents addressing the decision making bodies was proper. Commissioner Torres stated that the current and existing proposals were all a part of the conception of Planned Community No. 3. Mr. Douglas was unclear whether by proposing the current multi - family development and keeping within the requirements of the City whether any changes could be made to the proposal as it exist. Chairman Wesner explained to Mr. Douglas that there is a factual plan and staff and the land owner have been working towards the completion of Planned Community No. 3. However it is required that public hearing be held to receive comments whether factual or emotional it will have position on the proposal. Chairman Wesner confirmed the comments receive and the issues relating to traffic and safety. Rick Predmore, 11764 Chestnut Ridge Street, Moorpark, CA. Mr. Predmore's concerns related to property values. That $250,000 townhomes on the adjacent properties were implied during purchase. His point was that high density was inappropriate for traffic as it exist. a: \91 -12.2 Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 Page -13- Commissioner Torres inquired of Mr. Predmore, what kind of implications were perceived during the time of purchase. Mr. Predmore responded simply that the proposed townhomes would be in the price range as South Village. Randolph M. Riley, 1176 Chestnut Ridge Street, Moorpark, CA. Mr. Riley explained his reasons for moving into the Mountain Meadows area. By the response of adjacent property owners, it was a family oriented community. Mr. Riley talked of the relationship between high density and single, college student, renters, decreases property values, and attracts those who are not concerned with family styles. Strongly opposed and said it was inconsistent with the existing single family units. Commissioner May commented that the comments received by residents expressed an existing problem of traffic circulation problems. Mr. Riley confirmed Commissioner May's statement by saying that this problem exist without the recently approved townhomes and commercial area approved. Commissioner Torres informed Mr. Riley of the intention to condition the applicant to provide crossing guards at Count:ryhill Road and a stop light at Mountain Trail and Tierra Rejada Road. Krist:y Predmore, 11764 Chestnut Ridge, Moorpark, CA. Ms. Predmore confirmed the traffic problems that currently exist. Opposed to the one bedroom proposal. She was concerned with crime, the safety of school age children, property values, the quality of people attracted. Commissioner Torres inquired if Ms. Predmore was informed of the proposal during the time of purchase. She responded, "not really". Janis Isaac, 11691 Chestnut Ridge Street, Moorpark, CA. Ms. Isaac confirmed the statement that the townhomes would be a certain size in order to maintain the value of the neighborhood. Other concern related to safety, children and crossing guards. She explained that she talked with Ken who replied there was no need for a crossing guard at Mountain Trail and Mountain Meadows. a: \91 -12.2 Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 Other concerns related to the value of the existing homes in 10 months; emergency access; parking; and asked whether the decision had already been made on the proposed project. Chairman Wesner explained the development process of a Planned Community. The Chair also inquired of Ms. Isaac whether she had examined or the site plan to determine recreational facilities. Commissioner Torres confirmed Ms. Isaac statement from UWC as to the quality and size of the townhomes compared to a Huntington Beach development. Ms. Isaac and Commissioner Torres discussed the proposal in relation to design, circulation, size and property values. David Layland, 11520 Flowerwood Court, Moorpark, CA. Mr. Layland expressed the same traffic concerns and mention that he had previously talked with the traffic engineer on the project. That the recommendation of the Traffic Engineer was not to put a stop sign at Mountain Trail because traffic would back up. Mr. Layland concern was the safety of the children. Mr. Layland expressed his concern with the number of units and not the intended proposal. Haldum Arin, 11678 Chestnut Ridge Street, Moorpark, CA. Mr. Arin confirmed his opposition to the proposed development. He answered Commissioner Torres question, "how do reconcile quality with size ". Mr. Arins answer was price, "What do you get for $130,000 these days ?" Mr. Arin referenced the City Seal and said that with all the development projects coming before the decision makers it may be appropriate to reflect what it has brought to Moorpark (i.e. development, smog, traffic congestion etc.) in the City Seal. Mr. Arin echoed the same concerns as the previous single family home owners. He requested staff to explain what Planned Community changed to Residential Planned Development. The Director proceeded to explain that a PC referred to Planned Community and that it was nothing more than a holding designation, no entitlement, no grant to do anything commercial, industrial or residential. I a:\91 -12.2 Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 The PD refers to Planned Development and is before the Commission and specifies number of dwelling units, where, type, landscaping. in order to proceed the project is zoned to the specific density, "dwelling units per acre ". It is a process that starts with a holding- zoning and later determined and changed to a specific zoning. Commissioner Torres questioned Mr. Arin of how he became aware of the townhome development. Mr. Arin said, "Johnny and Sheri" provided him with the information. Keith F. Millhouse, 12417 Willow Grove Court, Moorpark, CA. Mr. Millhouse informed the Commission that although he was not directly affected, however he stated that he was very concerned about the type of development. Mr. Millhouse stated that although many of the residents were aware of the multi - family units being proposed but were unclear of the size, type, design and dollar amount. That even though there had been a mass of confusion he felt that UWC has been a respective and reputable builder in the area. He suggested that UWC compromise and consider the concerns reflected by the existing homeowners and how it will be reflected in the coming years from now. Don Sobel, 4035 Winter Wood Court, Moorpark, CA. Mr. Sobel reiterated the information received by the sales people of UWC. In reference to wood fences he said that after 2 years it has deteriorated. Regarding the safety issues expressed earlier Mr. Sobel said that because of the existing traffic problems he has rerouted his traffic pattern when he leaves Moorpark. Mr. Sobel requested the Commission confirm that no matter what decision the Planning Commission determines on the proposal the City Council could overturn their decision. Chairman Wesne:r responded by saying that the Planning Commission role is to make recommendation to the City Council. The Director affirmed the Chairman statement and said that a Planning Commission resolution would go before the Council with the Commission's specific recommendations as addressed before them at this hearing. - a: \91 -12.2 Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 Bill Bustamante, 3900 Timberview, Moorpark, CA. Mr. Bustamante question if the dollar value of the proposed development is put in the approved plan? Chairman Wesner replied that there is no control to determine how the dwelling units are priced. Mr. Bustamante asked whether governmental agencies have any input to the value of the structures being built. Chairman Wesner said, "only if the government agency is controlling the financing or there is a interest on the land ". Commissioner Torres question if Mr. Bustamante was informed of the multi - family units. Mr. Bustamante replied Johnny and Sheri. Judith M. Pierce, 11912 Silvercrest Street, Moorpark, CA.

The developer reserves the right to build different housing types within the density and other restrictions imposed by local zoning and development ordinance and codes." r- a: \91 -12.2 Planning Commission, City of Moorpark, California Minutes of December 2, 1991 Commissioner Torres questioned Mr. Froman, "What was the reason for North Meadows Village change from multi family to single family units ?" Mr. Froman replied that it was a project that was thought to be right at the time but UWC reversed their decision, an economic decision. Commissioner Miller asked if UWC staff questioned their sales people regarding the property owners statements. Mr. Froman said :yes, that the had met regarding the first plan. Commissioner May reaffirmed that the density level in South Village and West Village is the same. Mr. Froman said that it was a combination of the "C" density and the "D" density, both densities exist within each other. Commissioner Brodsky commented for the record that 7 Homeowner Associates for one residential multifamily development was ridicules. Commissioner May asked if there was any consideration to a street between the shopping center and the proposed use. Mr. Froman said that the project is better served as proposed and that there was no interest in the reconfiguration. The Director commented that if a street was proposed it would have 3 intersections in the area. Commissioner's Brodsky and Wesner discussed the on -site driveways as proposed. The Director said that it was common among the design in townhomes. Commissioner Brodsky commented that the project as proposed could not be considered without the surrounding property owners statements previously made.
