Commissioner Blank replied that he normally would but the Ponderosa was not in <br />favor of that. <br />Chair Pearce stated that she did not want to get into details and that she rarely <br />recalls a time when the Commission got so involved in the HOA with respect to <br />finance and maintenance issues. She suggested that the Commission take extreme <br />caution in getting too deep into this. <br />Commissioner Blank stated that the advantage of having the 80 percent mark is that <br />it provides a threshold or deadline that Ponderosa can do this, but it does not stop <br />them from doing if upfront and start right away if they want. He noted that the new <br />HOA will be in full force by the time 80 percent of the units are sold and that having <br />the condition in place would prevent the new HOA from not wanting to do it until <br />100 percent of the houses are sold. He added that this would be in the interest of <br />having a smooth transition period and a maintained property while Ponderosa still <br />has all the voting rights because it would not be able to influence the HOA once it <br />takes over and has full control. <br />Commissioner O’Connor stated that it would also prevent anyone from putting up an <br />argument that the costs needed to be taken over from day 1. <br />Commissioner Narum proposed an amendment to the motion by adding the <br />language: “ <br />to begin not later than after 80 percent of the units have been <br />.” She further proposed that Condition No. 29 be modified by adding that <br />sold <br />the applicant not be required to pay the appraised value of the 39 trees to be <br />removed. <br />Commissioners Blank and O’Connor accepted the amendments. <br />Commissioner Narum stated that said she was very pleased with the street/sidewalk <br />design, which returned with far more sidewalks than she expected. She noted that <br />this was a real plus and thanked Ponderosa Homes for that. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE: <br />AYES: Commissioners Blank, Narum, O’Connor, Olson and Pearce. <br />NOES: None. <br />ABSTAIN: None. <br />RECUSED: None <br />ABSENT: None. <br />Resolution No. PC-2009-11 approving PTR-8004 was entered and adopted as <br />motioned. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 15, 2009 Page 10 of 24 <br /> <br />
