Subject: Re: Marbella Access
Thanks Bob. Now we're faced w/ the issue of the need for secondary emergency access and how.far
we're willing to go to obtain it. I understand the commitment that Karen feels was made on this project
that secondary access is not required. However, whatever we do now could be precedent setting in terms
of future development. At a minimum, I think we need to approach the Marbella group to see how they
respond to a request for emergency secondary access off of their driveway. We could explain the
situation and offer that the secondary access could also benefit their community in the event of necessary
emergency response or evacuation of their development if their primary access is blocked. The access
would, of course, be gated to prevent unauthorized use. In the event that they also decline to participate
in this scenario we could at least show that signifcant efforts were made to secure the secondary access,
short of pursuing condemnation which has been discouraged by Julia. Politically, we have to be sensitive
to the issue of restricting a property owner's right to develop their property, particularly in light of the way
the fire code is worded. Secondary access to any other location seems very difficult for this property.

I had a phone message from Julia this afternoon. She said she "would not recommend the city exercise its
power of eminent domain in this matter".
She apologized for the time it took to get me an answer. She said she has been really buried in work.
So, we go to plan 'B'.
