14 Mr. Barth referred to maps and drawings of the proposed development, indicat- ing the changes made by the developers with regard to traffic circulation, lay- out of proposed units, and water service to the area. Mr. Barth advised that the property to the east of the proposed project has been purchased, adjacent to the City's water tank, which they plan to utilize for water service to the development. Mayor Beltran stated in other words, there have been changes made in the pro- posed development since it was initially presented to the Planning Commission. Mr. Barth answered that was correct. Councilman Hayes asked what the total number of units will be. Mr. Barth answered they do not expect to exceed a total of 160 units, but, more than likely, it will be a total of 140 units. Councilman Gonzales questioned the front and rear yard setbacks for the development. Mr. Barth answered the front yard setbacks will be approximately 20 feet, and the rear yard setbacks will be varied. Planning Director Gonzales stated that due to several changes made by the devel- opers and acquiring of additional property for the proposed project, he would recommend that this matter be referred back to the Planning Commission for addi- tional review and study. Council Members were in agreement with Staff's recommendation. Mr. Richard Yost, 23247 Barton Road, Colton, spoke in opposition to the proposed development, outlining reasons concerning density, incompatibility with future residential development of the area, increased traffic, and problems relating to utility easements of Southern California Edison within the subject property. Mrs. Sylvia Winters, 23246 Barton Road, Colton, spoke in opposition to the pro- posed project with regard to the density and increased traffic problems in that area. Mayor Beltran asked if anyone had additional comments on this matter. Moved by Mayor Beltran, seconded by Councilman Gonzales, to continue the Public Hearing to Tuesday, February 21, 1978, at 7:30 p. m., in the Council Chambers. Vote was unanimous. ParcnnnPl Specifications/Positions Mayor Beltran declared the Public Hearing open. Personnel Officer Calabrese submitted the Affidavit of Posting and reported that no protests or objections had been received. Mr. Calabrese stated the Public Hearing this evening involves amending the City's Pay and Classification Plan by adding the classifications of City Engineer (Unclassified) and Planning Assistant (Unclassified). Mr. Calabrese advised that job descriptions have been prepared for the two classifications, and Resolution No. 3765 for Council's consideration and approval. Councilman Hayes stated that he felt these positions were needed for the City, however, he also felt these positions should be a Classified status rather than Unclassified. Mr. Calabrese advised there are many positions within the City's Classifica- tion Plan that are Unclassified, key positions that are responsible for carry- ing out policy of the City, the Council and their various Departments. Mr. Calabrese stated he does not feel these positions are out of line with the existing policies that have been caried out in the past. Councilman Gonzales stated at one time all of the positions within the City's Classification Plan were Classified, under the Civil Service System Rules and Regulations, and he felt that in establishing the Unclassified status creates a double standard and deprives the employee of certain rights and protection under the Civil Service System. �'-
