PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MAY 5, 1988 ( . MINOR SUBDIVISION APPLICATION NO. MS-88-85 OF TETRA DIAMOND, INC. (C/0 C. NORMAN ADAMS ) for an appeal of the Planning Division ' s denial of Minor Subdivision Application No. MS-88-85 to divide 30.4 acres into two parcels. The denial was based on the determination that the project should be processed as a Major Subdivision. The property is located on the north side of Liberty Road, 1212 feet west of Sowles Road, north of Lockeford. (Supervisorial District 4 ) Associate Planner Wylla Satterness introduced a staff report into the record. Deputy County Counsel Sandra Affonso said that she had been contacted by Planning staff as to whether they could process this asa application or Subdivision or a Major Subdivision. She said this app create a fifth parcel and would require a Subdivision application. The applicant would be considered a single subdivider and a Major Subdivision application would be required. She said that evidence indicates that there is not "an arm' s length" between the corporation and Mr. and Mrs. Adams. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED PROPONENTS: C. Norman Adams was present and said he was present as a representative of Tetra Diamond, Inc. He said he is presently the President of the corporation. The Parcel Map was filed for Tetra Diamond and the application requiring a signature was signed by him. He said he thought that since the application was filed by Tetra Diamond that his signature would not indicate that he was the property owner. He did not sign the application as the owner of the property, but as a representative of Tetra Diamond. Tetra Diamond has only made one division and that was to split off a 3 acre parcel for Mr. Adam' s son, Ted. Mr. Adams explained that in the case of the 30-acre parcel, this property belonged to him and his wife. In 1979, they sold it to Tetra Diamond. They now have a deed of trust and a promissory note to Tetra Diamond and payments are made to him. He and his wife are share holders in Tetra Diamond. He submitted a certificate designating their proportionate share of the corporation. Mr. Adams said he objected to requirements of a Final Map. The cost of a Major Subdivision application is considerably more than the cost of a Minor Subdivision application. Mr. Adams also said that his neighbor, Mr. Edward G. Erickson, is contending with him over an ease- ment situation. OPPONENTS: Edid•thatErickson, Mr. AdamsOW.has aElm Street, adjoining land,, sasa deeded 20 foot access to go MINUTES PC: 5/5/88 -2-
