initial proposal between the Silver Oaks properties and his property and runs directly along his property line. He further objected to the proposals that locate the pads within 30 feet of his property line, moving them next to his property rather than somewhere in the middle, again to pacify the Silver Oak residents. He indicated that he thinks that would be unfair. He added that he believes there should be a solution that would lower the heights of the pads without major grading, taking out any of the trees, and meet everybody's concerns. Terry Kingsfather stated that the other speakers have covered pretty much everything he wanted to say. Mr. Berlogar stated that he just wanted to cover one topic: the location of the "blobs" and how accurate and specific those really are. He indicated that he had his AutoCAD operator overlay the Specific Plan on a Google photo, and most of the existing homes are not correctly identified, with one of the homes shown on the other side of the street. He questioned how anything can be that accurate if the locations of the existing homes are not accurate on the Plan. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Olson asked staff if they feel the visuals in the packet are pretty accurate. Ms. Stern replied that when scale is considered, one tries to adjust it to normal vision, and that is very subjective; something that is sort of annoying on the horizon is focused upon and deemed to be bigger on the photo. She referred the matter to Mr. Gorny, who could talk to whether or not this was taken with a normal lens that would try and capture how the eyes would see this and explain that a little bit better. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS RE-OPENED. Mr. Gorny stated that what his team did was overlay some conceptual house plans over the grading plan that they were given, then went to each one of the neighboring properties and set a square on there that they made six feet tall to make sure they had the right eye level. He explained that not much of it would be seen with a straight 50-millimeter lens so they actually widened it a little bit to show the entire hill in order to get a sense of what it looked like in the distance. Mr. Gorny stated that when they built the computer model, Photoshop gave them the exact lens that they had when they were looking at the view, and they were able to set the camera in the computer model to have the exact same lens; so they knew that when they built the computer model, they were looking from the same exact spot. He continued that they basically set their camera on top of that square; they looked in the same direction and set the camera exactly the same, and then from there, they basically took out the skies and were laying it in. He indicated that he believed it was a 45-millimeter lens because they were going the other way to a slightly wide angle as EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, July 24, 2013 Page 5 of 10
