CONDITION COMPLIANCE REVIEW OF VESTING RESIDENTIAL
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMITS 1071 AND 1072
At he City Council meeting of July 7, 1993, the Council directed
sta f to review conditions for the above captioned development
pro ects. This was based on statements from Lori Rutter that
spec ific conditions of approval had not been satisfied. On July 9,
199i, staff contacted Lori Rutter to set up a meeting to discuss
her concerns relating to conditions. She informed staff that the
earliest she could meet to discuss her specific concerns relating
to Condition Compliance is on Friday, July 30.
On July 30, 1993, staff met with Mrs. Rutter to discuss her
concerns. Her concerns are as follows:
1. Mrs. Rutter had indicated a general concern about Urban West
Communities completing walls and landscaping without complying
with the approved Conditions of approval. For example, Urban
West Communities would install common landscaping without
first submitting landscape plans to the City for review and
approval. This is in violation of Condition 26 of DP 1072
which requires that a landscaping, planting and wall plan,
together with specifications and a maintenance program be
submitted to the City prior to the issuance of a Zoning
Clearance.
Sta has met with representatives from Urban West Communities
reg ding the landscaping and wall issues. The applicant has
sub 'tted all of the required landscaping plans to the City for
rev' w and approval, some of which have been approved by the
Dir for of Community Development. After approval of the plans and
the pplicant has completed the landscaping, the City's landscape
coins will inspected the landscaping for adherence to the
app ved plan. Staff will continue to work with Urban West
Co nities in an effort to satisfy Mrs. Rutter's concerns.

HowE ver, it is true that until Mrs. Rutter brought this issue to
stai f's attention approximately three months ago, our staff was not
recli icing the developer to have approved plans prior to
insl allation of the landscaping. The developer was told to submit
as- uilt plans for those areas already planted and occupied. The
devE Loper did submit those plans as requested. Since they were as-
built plans, staff did not believe it necessary to plan check them
at t tie time. Given Mrs. Rutter's concerns, we have forwarded those
pla s to our landscape architect for review. Mr. Barwick has been
instructed to review the plans and make whatever changes he
bell eves necessary. If Mr. Borwich makes changes, staff will
req ire the developer to amend the existing planted areas.
2. She has also indicated that some of the common walls were of
the wrong color and /or stucco finish and that the walls should
be the same as those presently located along Countrywood
Drive.
Sta contacted Steve Howe on August 3, 1993 regarding this issue.
Sta has determined that the walls Mrs. Rutter is referring to,
wer constructed pursuant to the approved wall plan. Mrs. Rutter
wou like caps put on the top of some of the walls. However, they
wer not part of the approved plan and therefore can not be
re 'red to be installed. Not withstanding that, the developer
installed them over and above minimum requirements.
3. Mrs. Rutter also had concerns regarding the type of doors used
on the outside of the recreation lot cabana structures. She
felt they were substandard and not inspected by Building and
Safety. Staff referred her to building and Safety regarding
this issue. Mrs. Rutter went to Building and Safety on July
30, 1993, but has not yet received a response.

[gust 3, 1993, staff discussed this matter with Building and
y to inform them about Mrs. Rutter's concerns. The Building
afety inspector indicated that the Building Code does not have
�ndard for doors and that the type of door to be placed on a
ling is not typically shown on the construction drawings. The
e Department required the doors, but due to a problem in the
check process, the doors were not installed. Urban West
Lnities indicated that they will check the doors to ensure that
>olice Department's condition has been satisfied. Staff will
iw -up and assure this condition is met.
Mrs. Rutter requested permission to review the approved
drainage plans to review the drainage easement between lots
156 and 157.

The Assistant City Engineer explained informed staff that Mrs.
Rutter contacted him for information regarding drainage flow from
the lots. Dirk contacted Valcon Engineer's, the firm that
certified the Drainage Plan for the project, and then discussed
thiq matter with Mrs. Rutter.
