r from Mary Green who resides at 386 Sycamore Road. He stated that while she had no specific objection to the Moreira's proposal, she did not want to see neighboring lots exceed assigned densities. In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Kameny, Mr. Kishi advised that both the 3-lot and 4-lot plans meet the densities, the minimum lot sizes, and development standards of the NSSP. Mr. Kishi provided clarification regarding the infrastructure cost lot shares in the Specific Plan and how density is determined. He noted that the Moreira's are considering demolishing the existing house to achieve three LDR lots. Discussion ensued regarding lot shares and potential lot sizes for this development and that of the surrounding properties. Commissioner Kameny commented that a 4-lot plan would be compatible with the lot size of the adjacent properties and the fourth lot would provide a share of the infrastructure. In response to an inquiry from Chairperson Maas, Mr. Kishi advised that based on the chart presented in the staff report, staff feels the 4-10t plan meets the standards provided in the Specific Plan. Chairperson Maas referred to the information provided in the "Lot Shares for Reimbursement" chart and asked if "lot shares" can be equated to the number of "lots." Mr. Kishi reported that the infrastructure cost lot shares are created once the property is subdivided. Commissioner Roberts noted that the North Sycamore Specific Plan is different than the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan, in that the NSSP does not assign a specific number oflots to individual properties. Ms. Kline noted once the actual costs are determined for area wide improvements, staffwill amend the total lot shares to reflect the actual number of units received by New Cities Development, which will result in an increase in cost for each lot share because r- New Cities Development has 20 fewer units than originally shown in the lot shares chart. Commissioner Kameny asked what the negative effect would be if the fourth lot is allowed. Mr. Kishi replied that staff does not believe there would be a cumulative impact because at the time the Plan was developed it was based on New Cities receiving 69 lots, and the infrastructure, schools, services, and utilities were planned for the maximum number, and the number of lots in the Plan area is now less than anticipated. In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Sullivan, Mr. Kishi advised that if the Moreiras remain in their existing house, they would not have to pay a lot share for that lot unless they construct a substantial addition; therefore, with a 3-lot plan, they would have to pay two lot shares (one for each new lot). He further advised that if they demolish their house and receive approval for a 3-10t plan, they would be obligated for three lot shares. Commissioner Roberts asked if the Greenbriar houses that back to Sycamore Road are on one- acre parcels. Mr. Kishi advised that, in general, they are close to one-acre lots. He commented that the original school district property was guaranteed a certain number of lots and that affected the lots sizes. In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Roberts, Mr. Kishi advised that while the Burton and DeGarmo properties are less than one acre, they are allowed one residence. r' PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES February 27, 2002 Page 4
