<br />including background information, project description, design guidelines, land use and density,
<br />infrastructure, development plan alternatives, existing trees, open space trail system, landscaping,
<br />growth management, and home site fencing. In conclusion, Mr. Swift noted that staffs recommendation
<br />is that the Planning Commission make the finding that the proposed PUD development plan, alternative
<br />two, is consistent with the General Plan and the Happy Valley Specific Plan; make the PUD
<br />development plan findings stated in the staff report; and, adopt a resolution recommending approval of
<br />Case PUD-99-07, subject to the draft conditions of approval stated in Exhibit "B."
<br />
<br />Discussion ensued relating to the pro rata share of infrastructure costs, issues relating to annexation, the
<br />driveway leading to the property, relocation of rear lot lines 11 and 12, and clarification of the number of
<br />trees to be removed.
<br />
<br />Jim Hoge, 739-C Main Street, noted that he has worked with the Golf Course Committee and staff
<br />relating to the donation of the open space, and that development of the project is a win-Mn situation for
<br />all parties. He commended staff for their work on the project. He commented on the acreage that will
<br />be donated to open space, the grading necessary for the project, and that the project is environmentally
<br />friendly, including a wildlife preservation. He commented on the beauty of the property, the clubhouse,
<br />the equestrian and pedestrian trails, contribution to infrastructure costs, and the two additional units that
<br />will be provided in exchange for open space. In conclusion, he noted that the applicant supports staff's
<br />recommendation, except for a minor modification to Item No. 36, and he requested that the condition be
<br />modified to state "That the project developer shall keep the site free of fire hazards until the final unit is
<br />sold." Mr. Swift noted that staff concurs with applicant's request for modification to Condition No. 36.

<br />Bud Barlow, 6723 Alisal Street, spoke in favor of the two-acre parcels to retain the ruralness of the area.
<br />He inquired as to the zoning of the property and open space. Staff noted that zoning allows for
<br />agricultural use and that there will be public access to open space. Mr. Barlow initiated discussion
<br />relating to development of travel lanes in residential neighborhoods on north and/or south sides of
<br />Happy Valley Road.
<br />
<br />PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED
<br />
<br />Commissioner Maas stated that due to special circumstances and with the one-acre parcels, or larger lots,
<br />being in the front of development, she would accept the smaller lots. She expressed appreciation for the
<br />visual analysis for design review, the width of streets, and the attractiveness of the project. She
