Jenny Soo presented the staff report and described the scope, layout, and key elements of the proposal. Commissioner O'Connor: I have one question. On page 11 of 14, 1 wasn't sure of what you were pointing to for the golf netting fence, is it the red line or is it the dotted line that's a little bit left of that? They both look like they cross the street that's eventually going to be built at the end. Soo: Are you talking about this one? Commissioner O'Connor: Yes. So does the net actually cross the street? Soo: Yes, it goes from here to here, but the street would end right there for Phase 1, beyond that is Phase 2. Commissioner O'Connor: So does the net come down for Phase 2? Soo: Yes, there is a condition stating that. Chair Ritter: And at that point the trees replace the net? Soo: The trees would be purely on Lot 17 and so it would be up to the Lot 17 homeowners to see what they would do. Staff also pointed out in the staff report that by the time Phase 2 is under construction those trees may be considered heritage trees. So if the property owners of Lot 17 wanted to remove those trees, they will have to come in per the tree ordinance and get a permit to do so. Commissioner O'Connor: Okay, thank you. Commissioner Allen: I have a couple of questions. In regard to the trees being used for screening the netting, how many gallons are those trees? Soo: We have a typical condition for the minimum size of 15 gallons, but if the Commission requests they be a little bit larger we could modify the conditions to say the trees should be a 24 -inch box size. Commissioner Allen: I'm just thinking about screening. How high is the netting and how high will the trees be say in 5 years versus 10 years at the current configuration? I'm just trying to determine whether they are really going to screen at the current level or do we need to consider something larger. Weinstein: The applicant can probably best speak to the height of trees when they mature. Soo: A correction —the trees are 24 -inch box size so they are larger than 15 gallon. Commissioner Allen: Okay, thank you. Commissioner Nagler: If I could continue on this theme for a moment. Given that this netting is being constructed, why put off the final three homes?
