She noted that <br /> any questions about the amendments and the housing unit allocations should have <br /> been done at that point. <br /> Chair Pearce asked the Commissioners for final comments, and there were none. She <br /> asked Mr. Babbitt and Mr. Schlies if they had the direction they needed; and they said <br /> they did. Chair Pearce indicated that another workshop was needed and that <br /> viewscapes would help the Commissioners to understand the sizes of the homes. She <br /> indicated that she was not sure if the same number of lots should be kept and if she <br /> would be happy with the maximum 9,000- square -foot home on each lot. She noted that <br /> she would like to see more spacing if this much building is proposed. She added that <br /> she appreciates the LEED points but that it would be difficult to convince her that a <br /> 7,500- square -foot home can truly be green. <br /> No action was taken. <br /> EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, January 14, 2009 Page 14 of 14 <br />
