Ms. Amos inquired if the appellants will also be given ten minutes to speak and noted that both projects had appellants. Chair Blank replied that he did not realize there were appellants as the project descriptions did not indicate that; he stated that appellants would also have ten minutes to speak. Ms. Decker clarified for the record that there are no appellants for either project. She stated that this is the first hearing before the Planning Commission for both projects and added that there may be those who do not support the project, but those are not considered appellants. Ms. Amos then summarized the staff report and described the background, scope, and layout of the proposed project. Commissioner Fox disclosed that she visited one of the neighbors who is opposed to the project. Commissioner Pearce disclosed that she visited with the applicant as well as with one of the neighbors. Chair Blank disclosed that he visited with the neighbor at 455 Sycamore Road. Commissioner Olson disclosed that he met with the applicant and with the neighbor to the rear. Commissioner Narum disclosed that she also met with the applicant and with the neighbor to the rear. Commissioner O'Connor disclosed that he also visited with the applicant and with the Segundos who live to the rear. Ms. Amos called the Commissioners' attention to a couple of revisions to the staff report. She noted that in Condition No. 1 of Exhibit B, the date of the related materials should be November 7, 2007 rather than November 7, 2008. She added that the height of the new poly water tank at the bottom of the chart on page 5 of the staff report should be approximately 15 feet instead of 10 feet. Ms. Decker added that for the Commission's information, the staff report identified that the new tank is being used not only for agricultural irrigation but also for domestic uses. She noted that since the writing of the staff report, staff has determined that the site is connected to City water and is metered as well, specifically for domestic use. She added that wells within the City are allowed to be used for irrigation and landscaping as long as there is an appropriate backflow prevention device that separates domestic use from irrigation use.
