eminent domain. Improvements that currently exist in the public right-of-way are not uncommon. There were certain easements in the back of some properties, which generally require that the property not put in any improvements that would conflict with the City's use of the right-of-way. Mr. Grubstick stated that based on information received from the applicant's engineer, the existing edge of pavement on the north edge of Cameron Avenue is not the right-of-way line. The right-of-way line is 2.5 feet northerly of the existing edge of pavement, and staff believed that while there were private improvements that occur along that strip, they occur within the existing public right of way. Therefore, the City believed that a 4.5-foot wide sidewalk may be accommodated. Chairperson Arkin encouraged Mr. Ketell to contact the Plalming Department regarding any inadequacies in the minutes. Commissioner Fox moved to: (1) make the finding that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment and recommend that the City Council approve the Negative Declaration for the project; (2) make the finding that the project has a De Minimus impact on the site's wildlife; (3) make the finding that the proposed rezoning and PUD development plan are consistent with the Generall'lan and the purposes of the PUD ordinance; (4) make the PUD findings as listed in the staff report; and (5) recommend that the City Council approve PUD-50, subject to the conditions of approval as listed in Exhibit B of the staff report, as recommended by staff, with the following modifications: 1. Modify Condition No.4 to allow only single-story homes on Lots 4 through 10 adjoining the Palmer Drive properties; on Lots 18 through 22 adjoining the Leuthauser and Diablo Court properties; and possibly on Lots 25 and 26. 2. Modify Condition No. 21 to include the eastern project boundary in the installation of the seven-foot tall masonry wall and to discuss the possibility of using a wood fence in place of a masonry wall, depending on each property. 3.
