SUBJECT: Hearing For Tentative Map Approval for Subdivision 7118
By Robert Pacini and ASPARA, Inc. in the Morgan Territory
Area.
This is the time heretofore noticed by the Clerk of the Board of
_ Supervisors for hearing on the referral by the Contra Costa County
Planning Commission on the request by Robert Pacini (applicant) and
ASPARA, Inc. (owner) to renew an expired Tentative Map (Subdivision
7118) to divide 95+ acres into 46 lots in a Single Family Residential
District (R-40 ) with variances to have less than the required average
lot width for two lots (Lots 7 and 8 ) in the Morgan Territory
(Clayton) area.
Mary Fleming, Community Development Department, presented the
staff report on the request commenting on the staff recommendation for
approval and that the subdivision is in compliance with the General
Plan. She commented that the applicant had made some modifications to
the initial plan that do not change the lot patterns but add some
detail regarding a trail that will come through the site, along with
some conditions for a design review for some of the houses that would
be more visible on the site. She advised of the staff recommendation
that the Board approve the application and approve the Tentative Map
for Subdivision 7118 and accept the environmental documentation as
complete.
Supervisor Schroder requested clarification on the issue of the
variances that had been requested.
