<br />Chairman Lutz asked staff for comment about the developer's statements to make rural <br />looking houses. Mr. Iserson stated these are not a condition to the subdivision, however, the <br />statements are part of the minutes of the public hearing. Thus, they are not hearsay and are <br />a matter of public record. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wright stated he likes the house design. However, he concurs with staff with <br />the fact that even though it is not within the North Sycamore Specific Plan, it must match <br />with the rural character of the area. He suggested the floorplan be retained and redesign the <br />outside elements. <br /> <br />Commissioner Barker does not take issue with this house on the proposed lot. She feels the <br />houses on Diamond Court dominate the character of the neighborhood, and there is no use <br />pretending Sycamore Road is rural when Diamond Court is 100 feet away. The rural <br />character has already been destroyed by the cluster homes a few hundred feet down the road. <br /> <br />Commissioner McGuirk feels the house looks too structured, too formal, and does not fit in a <br />rural area with a mix of houses. It is well designed and nice looking, however, he cannot <br />support the application. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hovingh also feels the house is too large and massive for the site. <br /> <br />Chairman Lutz also concurred with staff's opinion that the house is too massive and needs to <br />be modified before it will fit within the area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wright motioned, seconded by Commissioner McGuirk, recommending <br />denial of Case Z-95-195. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL VOTE <br /> <br />AYES: <br />NOES: <br />ABSENT: <br />ABSTAIN: <br /> <br />Commissioners Hovingh, McGuirk, Wright and Chairman Lutz <br />Commissioner Barker <br />None <br />None <br /> <br />Resolution No. PC-95-88 was entered denying Case Z-95-195, as motioned. <br /> <br />e.
