. '. \ . . . Additional, lengthy discussion followed relating to development fees and who is affected according to the NSSP. Mr. Costanzo noted that the development fee is approximately $19,000 for each property facing Sycamore Road. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED The Commission addressed Alex Spotorno's letter in which he stated that he has never been invited to or involved in any discussions with Greenbriar relating to planning of the new development. He requested that he be personally notified of any further meetings and discussions relating to this project. His letter also expressed his concern that the proposed water tank would severely impact his view and feels that its surrounding area should be adequately screened and landscaped in order to reduce the negative visual impact. Mr. Plucker noted that he will be meeting with Mr. Spotorno on December 17, 1997 to discuss his concerns further. Mr. Plucker also stated that a visual analysis of the water tank has already been made, and that staff had anticipated complaints regarding the negative visual impact. He suggested that the Commission impose a tentative map condition requiring the surrounding area to be screened by appropriate landscaping.

It was evident to him that the water tank would present some valid visual concerns and he agrees the area should be landscaped. Mr. Spotorno stated that a tentative map condition requiring a visual analysis followed by appropriate screening and landscaping would be acceptable to him.
