Low Density Residential (R-l) Residential Subdivision The proposed Summer Winds is a major subdivision to be located on the west side of Underwood in approximately the 3700 block. (See Exhibit A) The original General Plan was considered by the Commission and granted "Conditional Approval" during the March 20, 1997 meeting. Since the March 20, 1997 meeting some changes to the subdivision general plan have occurred. The original general plan showed the subdivision to be 35.6261 acres in size and have 126 lots proposed. The amended general plan reflects the actual land size as 34.5910 acres and 122 lots proposed for the subdivisio-n. The proposed subdivision will be located in Park Zone 1 and with' the reduction in the number of lots, the in lieu payment stated in the previous report would now be inaccurate. The new in lieu amount will be $21,350.00 which is figured at a cost of $175.00 per lot. The Commission granted Conditional Approval of this project with the following conditions shown: 1. The developer needs to provide the City with an authorization letter from the two property owners which authorizes him to act on their behalf. 2, Water and sewer are not currently available. The developer will need to negotiate with the City on two (2) offsite utility extension agreements. The water extension would be for approximately 1,500 feet and the sewer extension would be approximately 2,000 feet. A review of the area's existing and proposed utility use will determine if the City wishes to participate in an oversizing. 3. Desert Run Drive, in Phase I, will be a dead-end street. Dead-end streets can be no longer than 600 feet.
