-- Ms. Roberts noted that she recalled a discussion requesting a single story house on Lot 6. She noted that there were design guidelines for a few ofthe lots on Deleo's first project (the McGuire/Nevis property). THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Kameny, Mr. Pavan replied that it had been approved for six lots. Commissioner Kameny noted that he did not like the lot that would interfere with the trail. He believed the applicant should have some rights to develop the property as a stand-alone property. Mr. Pavan noted that this was a very preliminary plan, and that it was brought to the Commission for its direction on the number of lots. The applicant and staffwouId then be able to proceed, knowing the Commission's desires for the site. Commissioner Arkin noted that he had never liked the house on Lot 31, and suggested that some two-story homes be built as a trade-offfor not developing that lot (Lot 6). -- In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Kameny regarding eminent domain, Mr. Roush replied that the issue with Mr. Hahner related to the ability to obtain certain of his property to install the new roadway. That purpose that been accomplished, and the City did not have to file the eminent domain action. The City obtained it through Right of Entry and Possession. He noted that staff and the applicant did not know when or if there would be any development on the Hahner property. If there were no development on the Hahner property, it would be incumbent on the applicant to finance some access to Lot 6. Until that development occurred on the Hahner piece, it would be a fairly expensive remedy. Chairperson Maas inquired whether the driveway could be temporarily located on the Old Vineyard, and then relocated when the Hahner property was developed. Mr. Pavan stated that the difficulty with that condition was not knowing when the Hahner property may be developed, and that there may be a less-than-acceptable point of access onto Vineyard A venue for a potentially long time. Chairperson Maas believed it would not be fair to Mr. McCurdy to tie his hands in that regard. Commissioner Arkin preferred that a house would not be located on Lot 6, but that an accommodation of higher economic value be allowed on the other lots to make up for it. The other lots had lower elevation, and there would be less of a visual impact. Commissioner Kameny would like to make the project whole for the applicant. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Kameny, Mr. Pavan replied that the six lots were approved by the City Council with the Vineyard Avenue financing plan.
