" Mayor Mangini caf.Ied for a vote in favor of the Procedures, carried unanimous }y . David Keyston, Anza Shareholders' Liquidating Trust, addressed the council regarding the procedures. Procedure No. 5 would be practical as additional road improvements are planned and scheduled because it may take from two to four years between the time an application comes in and the time general traffic impacts the road. He suggested the councif might not want to place a project at the end of the line as recommended in Procedure No. 10. He comented that the developer is planning a phased development and will install less than half of the proposed project in the first phase. City Planner agreed that the comments regarding Procedure No' 10 are vali-d, she suggested that the latter part of that sentence be deteted beginning with "wil1 1ose...", that the project will just lose its allocation and remain in the pending file to be reviewed. Roger oser, Owen Corporation, addressed the council as a representa- tive of the developer. He declared that the developer's position is that these new procedures should not be retroactive to any projects that were applied for prior to adoption of the procedures. City Planner explained that the developer was told at the time of application that the application was preliminary based upon review by the Public works Director for traffic capacity. The review took place and the developer was notified that the application was pre- liminary because there was no traffic capacity for the project. 313 I CONSENT CALENDAR Claims - crant W. sher-ldan, denied.
