Public Hearing•
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor
Hausdorfer opened the Public Hearing, and the following
persons responded in favor of the proposed project:
(1) The applicant, Cecil Bunnell, reviewed the project
history as well as the input previously received by
the Planning Commission and City Council.
Mr. Bunnell was in agreement with the conditions
imposed by staff, with the exception of Conditions
No. 3 (street improvements), 5 (Trabuco Creek
improvements), and 7 (Alipaz Street right-of-way).
He requested that the site plan requirement and

engineer for the project, Robin Hamers, who reviewed
the site plan design, and the consultant for the
applicant, Mr. Lee, who reviewed ground stabilization
for the project.
(2) Tony Proden, 27781 Paseo Segovia, Irvine (owner of
property on Adrena in San Juan Capistrano), spoke in
favor of the project, particularly the tennis club
facility since it would be open to everyone in the
City. He stated that he received a petition signed

by the Council.
(5) Tony Elliott, 31692 Via Cervantes, spoke in favor of
the tennis courts, particularly since they would be
available to everyone, and noted interest expressed
in tennis activities by the St. Margaret's school.
(6) Ken Dills, 31081 Calle San Diego, felt that the
project would be of long-term economic benefit to the
Villas and the community as a whole. Mr. Dills
objected, however, to the removal of the center
median because it would help to control traffic and
would enhance the goals of San Juan Beautiful.
(7) Pamela Roberts, 28291 Paseo Corrales, business owner
in the City, spoke in favor of the tennis club for
use particularly by children and regardless of
income.
There being no expressed opposition to the project, the
hearing was declared closed, with the right to reopen at
any time.
Council Discussion:
The Council discussed concerns regarding flood plain
management, density as it relates to the General Plan,
alignment of road with the entrance to the tennis club,
applicant's participation in street improvements, and the
requirement to dedicate property for the extension of
Alipaz Street. Councilman Schwartze voiced opposition to
the site plan and its format, stating that the residential
units needed to be clustered and more open space allotted.
Mayor Hausdorfer noted that a final decision would not be
made regarding the site plan at this meeting due to the
flood plain concerns but spoke in favor of both the
residential and tennis club uses in concept.
