right -of -way on the Lund Ranch property in order to meet an agreement they made with the neighbors at that time. He noted that this right -of -way was never secured, and in the applicants' meetings with neighbors in Bonde Ranch, the neighbors have indicated their preference to continue their access to their homes through Ventana Hills. Mr. Meyer indicated that they support this request. He then pointed out that on page 22 of the staff report, it states that Lund Ranch II was never part of the North Sycamore Specific Plan area. Mr. Meyer then introduced Carol Meyer, co -owner of the company, and several professionals who are available to answer questions: Chris Kinzel from TJKM, project traffic engineer; Mark Falgout from RJA, project civil engineer; and Chris Cebrian, project attorney. Commissioner Blank noted that Mr. Meyer mentioned the high quality of the homes that Greenbriar would be building and inquired how much the homes would sell for. Mr. Meyer replied that he did not know for sure, given the market since 2005 or 2006 to today, but he could give a reference point. He stated that the Greenbriar homes, with their lot sizes, compared to a house of the same size in the immediately adjacent neighborhood, would likely sell for at least 10 percent more. Commissioner O'Connor commented that with reference to Greenbriar's list of outreach, there appears to be about six community meetings, not counting the private meetings with the Mayor and Councilmembers. He indicated that he attended the first meeting and signed up to receive any correspondence on any future meetings, and he received information for only one additional meeting, which he attended and at which he again signed up for notification of future meetings. He asked Mr. Meyer to pay closer attention to how Greenbriar's outreach is done because he knows he was not invited to the other four meetings although he was on the notification list. Mr. Meyer apologized and indicated that he certainly thought Commissioner O'Connor was invited. Commissioner O'Connor stated that having attended two of the meetings, he believes he had enough input, but there are probably a lot of people in the community who signed up and did not get invited as well, which would be a concern. Greg Cordtz stated that his property backs to the proposed development and that looking out of his backyard, he can see at eye level, a 15 -foot cut into the hill in the Ventana Hills development. He noted that Greenbriar is proposing both single- and two -story homes and expressed concern about having a 45 -foot wall behind his home. He asked if his understanding is correct that Measure PP provides that areas where there have been man - grading are exempt. Commissioner O'Connor replied that he thinks that has not yet been determined. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 14, 2012 Page 14 of 35
