Andy Gunn, 3017 Shadid Drive, stated he supported the Reche Canyon Specific Plan, however, he was concerned about developers in the Canyon. Mr. Gunn said he bought his land to have space, he felt the City should look at decreasing the density, control growth, and retain the 1/2 acre minimum. Mr. Gunn said there is no need for more traffic on Reche Canyon Road. Dennis Hansberger, 1323 West Colton Avenue, Redlands, spoke in favor of the basic concept of the Specific Plan, however, he did not agree with the amendments recommended by the Planning Commission. Mr. Hansberger also discussed developments, rules and regulations, etc. Mr. Hansberger suggested the City adopt the Plan that the Committee agreed upon. Claire Deann Harrington, 11574 Reche Canyon Road, stated she would like to see the zoning stay as it is, and would like to see the Reche Canyon Specific Plan pass as it stands now. Ms. Harrington said she enjoys riding horses in the Canyon. Jim Sullivan, 101 East Redlands Boulevard, #219, Redlands, spoke against the Reche Canyon Specific Plan as it has been amended. Mr. Sullivan said there is a need for 7,200 sq. ft. lots. William Grimes, 2592 Gunnison Way, stated the majority of Canyon resi- dents do not want development as in other areas and enjoy the openness of the Canyon. Mr. Grimes said the City should follow the intent of the Plan. Richard Prieto, 634 East "H" Street, stated he is a member of the Planning Commission, and if the City wants to take care of the children in the Canyon, keep the 1/2 acre minimum lots. Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Roman, the Public Hearing was terminated. Unanimous vote. Councilman Lofy asked that Community Development Director Aguilera re- spond to comments made by Mr. Bill Warkentin and the Relco Industries property. Mr. Aguilera stated Relco Industries would like their area, in Planning Area 1, deleted from the Plan and considered at a later date. Mr. Aguilera said this involves a 90 -acre parcel and it needs to be a part of the Plan. Councilman Roman said he was concerned about commercial development in the Canyon at the location of a small corner store, which had been there for some time and was very rural -looking. Mr. Roman stated this store was a source of shopping for the Canyon residents, and he did not feel a more modern facility would fit in. Mr. Roman said he was concerned about creating "commercial pockets" in the Canyon. Mr. Roman concluded he would like to have the proposed commercial development at that particular location deleted, and leave the little country store as is.
