Ms. Nerland replied that was Greenbriar's proposal because it did not have an entity to do that, _ such as a homeowners association or a maintenance association. Commissioner Sullivan noted that when Greenbriar was done with the entry feature, the City would be obligated to maintain the site. Mr. Iserson added that the funds would not be able to be used for routine maintenance. Commissioner Maas suggested incorporating an assumption of maintenance into the use. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Carol Meyer, Greenbriar, 43160 Osgood Road, introduced Kevin Ebrahimi, Development Manager of Greenbriar. She noted that the monument is the heart and soul of a location and emphasized that they proposed a monument of quality. She noted that the entry would require very little maintenance and added that the residents would pay approximately $3 million of property taxes. She believed that the City would be able to afford a few hundred dollars for its maintenance. She advised that they would use low-maintenance landscaping and added that they would accept the three staff conditions. She did not believe this entry feature would be used as a marketing tool for Greenbriar but would be a start to the new development. She noted that it would be very simple and in good taste. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Sullivan regarding the length of time the monument would be in place, Ms. Meyer replied that the monument would be a permanent gift to the City. She noted that they could incorporate some rocks into the landscaping that would protect the monument from passing cars. Ms. Meyer noted that they would like to finish the job of making the site as attractive and tasteful as possible. They designed it to be low-maintenance, inexpensive, and attractive. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Fox, Ms. Meyer advised that the monument would be placed down the street from the development, not at the entrance to the community. She noted that it would not be an advertisement of any kind. Commissioner Fox inquired whether Greenbriar would be willing to move it off Bernal and closer to the corner of West Lagoon Road and Laguna Creek Lane. Ms. Meyer replied that was not in their plans at this time. Chairperson Roberts expressed concern that if the feature were to be turned over to the City, there would probably something else there. She noted that Measure V must be considered in this case. Ms. Meyers emphasized that the entry feature was not an advertisement but was a gift to the City. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
