REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 43570 TO ALLOW DEVELOPMENT OF A SIX -UNIT RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM - 9646 LONGDEN AVENUE, APPLICANT: OWEN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY City Manager Koski presented background information stating that the Planning Commission at their regular meeting of Janu- ary 8, 1935 had approved and recommended that the City Council approve a tentative tract map to allow development of a six - unit residential condominium located on the south side of Long- den Avenue.between Temple City Boulevard and Kauffman Avenue. Project involves removal of an existing single family house and construction of six residential condominium units in three buildings. Each unit is approximately 1,650 square feet in area (exclusive of garage). Access to the site is via a 26- foot wide driveway from Longden Avenue, which serves 12 en- closed parking spaces and six unenclosed guest parking spaces. A Negative Declaration of Environmental.Impact has been filed indicating that the project will not have a significant envi- ronmental impact. Planning Director Shaw reported, pursuant to a complaint from an adjacent property owner regarding the location of a trash container, the applicant has agreed to relocate the trash en- closure from its present location to an area between the two existing trees on site, approximately 25 feet from the easterly property line. Responding to'Councilman Tyrell's concerns about water drain- age, Planning Director Shaw explained that the water is picked up in two catch basins and will be pumped back out to Longden. It was also pointed out that there are two pumps in the event that one of the pumps fails to work. • City Manager Koski stated that this is the standard recommendation from the County Engineer as far as the drainage plan; also Condition #24 of the Conditional Use Permit 84 -741 requires that plans be sub- mitted for staff approval of on -site drainage and contributory drainage from adjoining properties. Councilman Tyrell brought up the subject of guest parking, indicating that. very often apartments and condominiums ask that guests park on the street and not on the property thereby creating a parking problem on the street. Planning Director responded that by providing six guest spaces on -site they will meet Code regulations. Councilman Tyrell moved to include all prior documentation, tes- timony and minutes of the Planning Commission meeting as part of the record, seconded by Councilman Gillanders and unanimously carried. Proximity of the condominiums to other dwellings adjacent to the development was discussed and found to be within Code. Mayor Swain declared the public hearing open and invited any- one wishing to speak to come forward. Mike Mangana, representing Owen Construction, 9702 Naomi, Arcadia came forward to speak in favor of the development. Mr. Mangana agreed with the staff report and findings. He addressed the.issue of the water drainage, indicating that their hyraulics engineer will specify adequate pumps to pump all water to the street and also mentioned that there is a backup system.
