MEMORANDUM
T O : The Honorable City Council
FROM : Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development
DATE : January 22, 1987 (CC meeting of 2/4/87)
S U $ J E C T : REVISION TO GRADING PLAN TRACTS 4170/3070 -4
U.S. Condominium Corporation
BACKGROUND
The City Council first reviewed the request of U.S. Condominium
Corporation to amend their grading plan for Tracts 4'_70/3070 -4
on November 17, 1986. At that time the City council referred
the matter to the Planning commission so that they could review
the various issues at a public hearing.
The original proposal submitted to the Council included extensive
fill along Campus Park Drive and the raising of pads as much as
five feet. Since the November 17th council meeting, U.S. Condominium
has been working with staff to revise their proposal to be more
consistent with the original plan.
The current request is to relocate 103,000 cubic yards within
and adjacent to the subject site. A majority, 69,000 cubic yards,
will be relocated into County land to the north,which is off site.
There are three areas in the County which are currently ravines
extending in a north -south direction. These fill areas will be
contour graded so as to reduce the impact of man made slopes.
After filling these areas they will be planted with orchard trees
as is presently existing north of the site.
The revised grading plan will raise the pad elevations a maximum
of three feet. A revised grading plan with the revisions shown
in red is provided as an attachment to this report.

The Honorable City Council
p. 2 - January 22, 1987
The revised grading plan does not propose any export of soil on
City streets.
The Planning Commission reviewed the revised grading plan at their
January 19, 1987 meeting. A public hearing was conducted but no
one spoke on this matter other than a representative of U.S. Condominium.
The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council deny
the request to modify the grading plan. Their reason was centered
around the following:
1. The City is under no responsibility to resolve an
error made by the developer.
2. The developer should adhere to the original grading
plan without modification.
3. There is no benefit to the City in approving the
modification.
4. The proposed plan would impact the canyon adjacent
to Happy Camp Park.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Hold the public hearing on this matter and receive testimony
from the public and applicant.
2. Uphold or reject the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Attachment: Revised Grading Plan.
