He advised that he has a strong concern with lot #36 and if he were to vote to approve the plan now, he would vote to delete lot #36 because of the noise impacts. He noted that he has issues with the s~backs, and would like to reduce the rear- and side-yard setbacks to five feet for auxiliary sm~ctor~s over six feet in height. He asked that clarification be provided as to how the disclosures would be made, noting that he feels its should be something the home buyers sign. He requested that consideration be given to making lot 32 more of a prominent entry to the Vineyard Corridor area, perhaps using an architectural feature with grapes in front of the feature. Commissioner Maas noted that this concept was included in the Specific Plan.

She further noted that she believes that the Costas lot should be smaller and the other lots can be made larger, including lot 36, which might allow the PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES December 13, 2000 Page 8
