The following individuals, residents of an adjacent tract and members of the
West Colony Homeowners Association, spoke in opposition to the proposed subdivision
tract:
Keith Sarger, 176 Cheshire Lane, San Bernardino, CA
Dan Brison, 177 Manchester Lane, San Bernardino, CA
Dustin Smith, 2531 Shady Glen Lane, San Bernardino, CA
Matthew Niemeyer, a new homeowner and member of the Association
Jim Fahs, President of JMS Homes, 1903 Raymond Avenue, Costa Mesa, CA,
noted that the West Colony Association is a nice development; however, it was
processed as an RU 5000 subdivision which allowed for smaller lots. As a result of
having smaller lots and greater density, it forced them to have the tot lots, community
pools, and community parks to compensate for that additional density. In contrast, the
lots in the new development will be approximately 7200 square feet.
Mr. Fahs advised that he had met all of the conditions, the maps had been
approved, and the appeal period had expired. He added that Planning staff and the
Planning Department sent out the appropriate notices, the Planning Commission
approved the rezoning and tentative tract map, and they were ready to move forward.
Dan Beal, Steven Walker Homes, a residential developer, 7161 Indiana Avenue,
Riverside, CA, also advised that all conditions had been met, including compliance
with CEQA issues; and stated that if there was any reason to deny this map he would
like to know what the reason would be.

this final map, that she was sympathetic to how the adjacent homeowners felt and the
concerns they had expressed; however, there was nothing the Council could do. She
did remind the developer that he had agreed to provide information to the new
buyers/homeowners on how they could join the West Colony Homeowners Association.
Council Member Estrada asked for an explanation of how the new homeowners
could be residents of one residential tract and members of the association next door.
Mr. Beal advised that what had been discussed was to offer potential buyers a
recreational-type packet, which would be like joining a gymnasium or country club,
where a monthly fee would be paid for use of the facilities.
Mr. Penman advised that inasmuch as there was a veiled threat of litigation
regarding this matter, that the Council recess to closed session.
