Resident raises concerns about Longoro Park subdivision changes and fire access
Summary
A resident spoke during public comment saying a recent Longoro Park plan shows a new fire access, additional lots and reduced open space compared with the plan previously approved by council; he urged staff to confirm code compliance for phase lines and turning lanes.
A resident speaking during the meeting's public comment period said a revised plan for the Longoro Park subdivision includes changes from the version previously approved by council, including a newly shown fire access, three additional lots at the lower end of the site and a reduction in open space.
The comment matters because the resident argued those changes could alter conditions of approval the council relied on previously and may affect code compliance for later phases. The speaker urged staff and council to confirm the changes with fire officials and to verify whether required improvements — including a turning lane that was a stated condition of approval — appear on the phase 1 plans.
The speaker, identified in the record as representing District 3 Councilman Amir's constituents, said the earlier approval called for eight lots but the current plan shows 11 and that three parcels previously designated as open space had been converted to lots. He also said a fire access shown on the current plan "looks like that will meet the requirement for phase 1, but that won't meet the requirement for phase 2. Because I won't meet the requirement of the code section d 104.3." He closed by saying, "So I don't see anywhere anything on the phase 1. So I was wondering why it's a question. Thank you."
Planning staff did not take an action during public comment but the item flagged issues staff and the commission may need to verify: that the plan being reviewed matches conditions previously approved by council; that any new fire access meets the requirements for the specific phase shown; and that required roadway improvements (including a turning lane) are included or scheduled. The speaker asked that staff consult the fire chief before any approval.
No formal vote or direction was recorded during the public comment period. The commission proceeded to the next agenda item.
Ending: The comment was entered into the record and the meeting moved on to scheduled agenda items; staff follow-up was implied but not recorded as a formal direction or action in the transcript.
