5. CONSENT CALENDAR There were no Consent Calendar Items. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS Matter Continued for Decision a. PAP-140 through PAP-144, Phil Benzel, Robert Miller, and Todd Briggs, Appellants (PDR-883 through PDR-887, Ponderosa Homes, Applicant) Appeal of the Zoning Administrator’s Design Review approvals to construct five single-family homes on five vacant lots located at 6120 Sanctuary Lane, 6136 Sanctuary Lane, 6168 Sanctuary Lane, 6184 Sanctuary Lane, and 6139 Sanctuary Lane, in the Happy Valley Specific Plan Area. Zoning for the properties is PUD-SRDR (Planned Unit Development – Semi-Rural Density Residential) District. Brian Dolan indicated that the Commissioners have been provided with the materials they requested at the last meeting as well as new material provided by the appellant. He noted that there were two points were raised at the last meeting: (1) whether custom homes are allowed in the development; and (2) whether the proposed house designs conform to “custom.” With respect to the first point, Mr. Dolan stated that there are many references to “custom lots” in the design guidelines and the conditions of approval, but nowhere are there references requiring the houses in the development be custom homes. As regards the second point, Mr. Dolan stated that in comparing the proposed homes to the design guidelines, staff maintains its conclusion that they are custom enough to be approved within the framework of the existing approved project. He noted that there are five lots with three floor plans, with two pairs sharing the same floor plans. He added that the two sets of homes with the same floor plans have different design styles, materials used, and rooflines which distinguish them from each other. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Todd Briggs, Appellant, recapped the appellants’ position as presented at the last meeting and reviewed several documents referring to the lots within the development as “custom home sites.” He stated that they did additional research after the last Commission meeting and found two other documents, which were provided in the binder of documents they had provided the Commissioners, that they believe show that the only custom homes, and no tract or production homes, were intended for the Serenity development. Mr. Briggs then related the history of the Serenity project, which was originally owned by TTK Partnership in 1999 and subsequently purchased by Don Babbitt.
