A. SUBJECT: Fairway Oaks Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Extension AGENDA REPORT: Staff Erias gave presentation RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve Resolution No. 2017-05 (PC), approving an additional one-year time extension for the Fairway Oaks Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map. Commissioner Cannell asked if any changes were being made to the map. Staff Erias informed the commissioners that no changes were being made to the map. Commission Cannell concerned with current residents on Cornell and the traffic issue. Has this been resolved? Staff Erias addressed this letting him know that the developer will be required to provide additional entry access points into the subdivision. Commission Daley asked why the map is being extended again. What happens if we don’t approve the extension? Staff Erias informed her that if they don’t approve extension, the map expires and the applicant would need to start the process over from the beginning. Commission Daley’s concern is that by extending the map, the project will not proceed. With the new Eastview Annexation, the focus for development will be there instead of Fairway Oaks. City of Galt Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 3 Regular Meeting of November 16, 2017 Chair Morris asked about the entry access point at Glendale Avenue and was that still plausible. Staff Erias addressed this with commissioners. Mike Oliver who represents the property owner, Arcadia Homes addressed commissioners regarding the reason for requesting another map extension.
