as the Parcel Map was never recorded, the application expired.
Ms. Laurin added that the City Engineering Staff has approved
this adjustment, and Planning Staff recommends the Planning Com-

Members of the Planning Commission voiced concern that the
lot line adjustment would not provide a buildable lot. Com-
missioner Smith stated it was her understanding there could
be another aqueduct added in the future. Ms. Laurin advised
the Planning Commission they could postpone action to allow
the City Engineering Staff time to reevaluate.
Chairman Tetley opened the meeting for public hearing.
SUPPORTING TESTIMONY
Mr. Ron Winters, 23246 Barton Road, addressed the Planning
Commission stating he resides on Parcel No. One and he has a
"hand shake" commitment to purchase Parcel No. Two; felt the
lot would be a buildable one. Mr. Winters also outlined his
plan for landscaping the slopes.
Commissioner Erway asked Mr. Winters whether he was concerned
about the aqueduct right-of-way. Mr. Winters said he would be
concerned, but that was in the future.
As there was no opposing testimony, Chairman Tetley closed the
meeting to public hearing.
Following discussion, the Planning Commission concurred they
did not wish to made a decision on this matter until there was
additional input from the City Engineering Staff.
PCM 80-91 Motion was made by Commissioner DeBenedet, seconded by Commissioner
Erway, and carried unanimously to continue decision on this matter
until November 10, 1980, to allow the Engineering Staff to:
(1 ) determine whether, if approved, will the applicant have
sufficient area outside the Aqueduct right-of-way to construct

backs, access, and other necessary safety and City Code
requirements without a Variance being requested.
