PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. CONSIDERATION OF MODIFICATION TO LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE
DISTRICTS - TRACTS 7654 AND 9373 (LOS CORRALES)
(74) Proposal:
(85) Consideration of options for modifying Landscape Maintenance
District responsibilities in Tracts 7654 and 9373, pursuant
to petitions circulated by a member of the Landscape
Maintenance Districts Committee. The petitions requested
elimination of the District in Tract 9373, with the
homeowners maintaining their slopes and the City maintaining
the park, equestrian trail, and flood control channel; and,
reduction of the maintenance responsibilities in Tract 7654
to those areas known as the entry statement and the La Ronda
slopes.
Applicant:
Richard Wann, 28131 Calle San Remo, Member of the Landscape
Maintenance Districts Committee.
Written Communications:
(1) Report dated June 5, 1984, from the Director of Public
Works, setting forth options and cost estimates as
discussed at the Maintenance Districts Public Workshop,
and forwarding a recommendation corresponding to the
requests set forth in the petitions.
(2) Letter dated May 26, 1984, from Richard Wordes, 31812
Paseo La Branza, citing disagreement between the tracts
on the sharing of maintenance costs for the entry
statement and other common and private property.
(3) Letter dated May 29, 1984, from Douglas L. Holmes,
Chairman, Los Corrales Architectural Review Committee,
forwarding the Committee recommendation that both
tracts share equally in maintenance of only the common
property.
-4- 6/5/94
11519
Exhibits were on display and the Director of Public Works
made an oral presentation, advising that combining the
tracts was suggested at the Workshop.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor
Hausdorfer opened the Public Hearing and the following
persons responded in support of the petitions:
(1) Richard Wann, 28131 Calle San Remo, Tract 9373, also
urged that consideration not be given to the suggestion
to combine maintenance responsibilities with Tract 7654.
(2) Nancy Ferruzzo, 28291 Via Rueda, Tract 9373, also
stated that the petition stated what the residents
wanted and cited concern that the request might be
expanded upon by the City.
(3) Susan Buening, 27931 Via Estancia, Tract 7654, and
stated everyone should participate in the maintenance
of the entry statement.
(4) Fred Ilg, 27921 Via Estancia, Tract 7654, and stated
that both tracts should share in the maintenance of the
entry statement and the La Ronda slopes.
(5) Dwight Cloud, 31871 Via Montura, Tract 9373.
(6) Dennis Haehn, 28261 Via Rueda, Tract 9373, also cited
concern that the petitions were being used as a basis
for proposing additional alternatives.
The following persons responded in opposition:
(1) Richard Wordes, 31812 Paseo La Branza, Tract 7654,
stated that the current District responsibilities were
unfair, since everyone benefitted from the maintenance
of the entry statement and slopes on La Ronda in terms
of property values and should share in that maintenance
responsibility.
(2) David Specter, 31902 Via Fiero, Tract 7654, stated
support for either total elimination of both Districts
or an equal sharing by both tracts of the common areas.
He advised that he had suggested combining the two
tracts three years ago.
(3) Paul Stubbs, 31821 Paseo La Branza, Tract 7654, stated
support for both tracts sharing equally in the
maintenance of the common properties and the La Ronda
Slopes.

There being no further response, Mayor Hausdorfer closed the
Hearing with the right to re -open at any time.
Council Discussion:
Discussion ensued regarding the possible impacts of totally
eliminating both Districts, as well as the issue of fairness
in placing the responsibility on both tracts for maintenance
of the front entry statement, with the City assuming
responsibility for maintenance of the equestrian trail, park
area, and flood control channel. In response to Councilman
Friess, the Director of Public Works advised that costs for
both tracts to maintain the entry statement would be
approximately $32 to $33 per year per unit; Councilman
Friess noted that costs for the City to maintain the
remaining common areas would be approximately $9,600 per
year. Council concurred that it was in the best interests
of the Los Corrales neighborhood and the City as a whole to
ensure the quality of the entry area.
Districts Dissolved; Entry Treatment Shared:
It was moved by Councilman Bland, seconded by Councilman
Schwartze,and unanimously carried to dissolve all District
responsibilities in both tracts with the exception that the
