St. Clair
1976 Orange,Avenue. Environmental Determination:
Exempt. The affidavits of posting, publishing, and
mailing are on file in the Clerk's office. No com-
munications have been received. The applicant is
proposing to divide the property into three parcels,
providing access from Orange Avenue to Parcels 2 and
3. over a 20 -foot easement, which will extend across
the south side of Parcels 1 and 2. The Planning
staff recommended denial of the request based on the
opinion that it is inconsistent with the intent of
the zoning ordinance, which the staff feels intended
all residential -properties to have direct access on
a public street. The Planning Commission approved
the request based on the findings that the City has
previously approved lots of this°nature and that the
property -does meet the 6,000 square foot minimum lot
size requirement. The applicant was present and
addressed the Council in support of the request,
stating his opinion that.the 1aw.does not specifi-
cally prohibit what he is proposing, that he believes
this to be the best use of the property, and that the
immediate neighbors approve -of his proposal. Mr.
Gentosi, adjacent property owner, felt that a fence
should be constructed between his property and Mr.
St. Clair's, and expressed a willingness to contrib-
ute to the cost involved. Mr. Gentosi also indicated
that the rear of the property needed to be graded for
proper drainage. During the discussion which fol-
lowed, the. -City Attorney raised the issue of the
20-foot.easement and stated that this may be a
problem if Mr: St..Clair intends to retain ownership,
but further added that a solution could be worked
out. There being.no other speakers, the Mayor closed
the public hearing. On motion by Councilwoman Small-
wood, seconded by Vice Mayor Hammett, and carried,

Council and re -stated his contention that he received
incorrect information from the staff as to whether the
new park fees would affect his project. During the
discussion which followed, the Council expressed
regret that a misunderstanding had..occurred, but felt
that to grant an exemption may establish a precedent.
Vice Mayor Hammett did not concur with this opinion
and felt that.-Mr..0'Connor's project was far along in
the planning process. and.' -should not be subject to the
increased fees.' There being no other speakers, the
Mayor closed the public hearing. On motion by
