prior to the July 24th review session to consider the basic level
of improvements for Pierce Road. This was suggested to be set
up on a sub-committee study session basis, to include Council
representative(s), Planning Commission representative(s) , home-
owner's representative(s), developer(s), and landowners, to allow
them to express opinions on Pierce Road issues.
This was acceptable to the remaining Council. Peggy Corr and.

A. ORDINANCE , AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE IMPOSING A MORATORIUM
ON TENTATIVEMAPS IN THE PIERCE ROAD/M~. EDEN ROAD ~ZSTERN HILL
PORTION OF SARATOGA
Councilman Matteoni indicated he has a problem with "emergency"'
~f the applications are not going to come. forward in any event,
and he wonderedif there would be any inclination on the part of
the affected property owners to ~llow the Council time to study
this, according-to the work program that we have, without formatizing
'an ordinance.
The attorney for the~p~operty o~zner indicated this'would be acceptable,
.with the understanding if the'Council came to a conclusion sooner
than anticipated, the l~ndowners could p~oceed with their applications.
Effectively, this would delay~co~i~'~r~ffOn Of these applications
before the Planning Conmissio~f~f~ ~[iod of 60 days, or not
before October 22nd~1~7~.
M/S: Matteoni/Kalb that base~ on the offer from the attorney for
COcdiardi and Chadwick that they would not ask for further processing
of their two proposals prior to August 22nd (which under the time-
t~ble which staff has provided would not bring. their matters before
the Planning Commission for hearing until 'late October 1979), the
Council adopt the second paragr~b~of the proposed ordinance
recital, ~ich reads as follow~~ '
