elements need to be included on the plan, when actually not all are required to be shown. He added that without actually seeing what the language states in the conditions, it is difficult for the Commission to make a judgment regarding what the intent was when the guidelines were approved back in 2006. Commissioner Narum noted that the house designs were peer-reviewed by Mr. Terry Townsend, the architect who prepared the design guidelines, who indicated that the designs met the design guidelines with a few changes needing to be made, which she believed were incorporated into the conditions of approval. She questioned if the real issue is determining whether or not the homes are “custom,” noting that each of the Commissioners may have a different definition of “custom.” Commissioner Blank stated that if the Serenity at Callippe guidelines indicated that homes shall either be custom or custom-like, it would clearly provide a great deal of flexibility and interpretation. Commissioner Pentin stated that there seem to be a lot of discussion regarding home sites and lots and that all five lots will be custom sites, subject to the design and desire of the builder, which is something different than what is typically seen in tract homes. He expressed concern over the issue of a home not being considered a custom home just because it has been built somewhere else before. Chair Olson agreed. Commissioner Narum inquired who the owner of Lot 3 is and what is being built on it. Ms. Soo replied that the lot has been purchased and the homeowner is in contact with Mr. Terry Townsend, who has reviewed the design, but that no application has been formally submitted to staff. She noted that the proposed home is less than 4,000 square feet. Commissioner Pearce referred to the notification process and the inadequacies of the Zoning Administrator hearing and inquired if these were fixed for this hearing. She expressed concern that some residents did not receive the notice. Ms. Soo explained the notification process, stating that staff sends out notices to those property owners based upon information received from the County Assessor’s Office. She noted the possibility that the property owner on record may not have forwarded the notice to new lot owners and that staff sent out a special notice to the owner of Lot 3. Commissioner Pearce inquired if notices were sent out to all those required to be noticed. Ms. Soo said yes. She added that the notices were sent according to the requirements of the Municipal Code.
