The second issue that the City Manager discussed was the grading in a timely manner and the requirement would be that the lots be prepared and graded for construction. The City Manager referenced the Pacific /Pardee issue where the lots ended up with a phase not recorded. Commissioner Martens questioned staff whether this item could be tabled until staff and the applicant settle the term of the agreement. The City Manager said that the City Council will require that the Development Agreement be settled prior to entitlement approval. The City Manager said that the irrevocable offer of dedication of the equestrian trail would be taken when needed and by recordation until it is ready for trail improvements. That it would provide time for all interested parties to prepared and develop the trail improvements. Mr. Bollinger said he was interested in dedicating the land (trail) if he thought the conservancy was interested. The City Manager said that the equestrian trail requirement could be revisited by the Ad Hoc Committee or provide the Planning Commission's former recommendation concerning the equestrian trail. The City Manager reminded the Commission that the Carlsberg property had bonded and guaranteed in order to allow grading in advance of map recordation. At this point in the meeting the Commission concurred with staff that they somehow wanted to guarantee that the golf courses along with the residential units be developed. The public hearing closed at 7:54 p.m. The Deputy City Manager said that the project as proposed is somewhat different in that two golf courses are proposed and residential units could possibly be built with an unfinished golf course development. He agreed that the entire project may be difficult to bond and that the mechanisms were complex and that the City still needed to add legal language to conform to the agreement.
