In response to Chairman Mahern's question, Mr. Swift replied tha this project does not have a geological hazard abatement district as it is not necessary for thi site. Further discussion ensued between them on this matter. Commissioner Hovingh then presented a list of additions and chan es that he would like to have incorporated into the conditions of approval. Copies were di tributed to the Commission and staff. He suggested that if the Commission is w. ling, staff and applicant could look at these changes and see if they are feasible for inca ration into the conditions of approval. Commissioner Wright stated that he also had some suggested chan es to the conditions of approval. He felt it might be better to continue the case so that s ff would have ample time to review the suggested changes. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CWSED. In regard to recommendations made by Commissioner Hovingh, C mmissioner Wright said he would not be in favor of a daycare or wine tasting room for th project. In regard to a buffer area, Commissioner Wright said he would prefer enough I dscaping to keep balls from passing through. He also expressed concern that excessive g ading might still be done on the site; he felt that if the S-curve needs to be modified and u . ity lines must be laid, that they should attempt to do it all at the same time; any grading sho d be done during normal daytime working hours. He raised the issue of signage and questi ned whether the conditions have addressed this matter. He also needed further cl .fication about a homeowners' association. He concluded that he felt a fire station hould be completed by the time homes are built. Mr. Swift responded to Commissioner Wright's comment regardi a fire station. He indicated they could not ask the applicant to provide funds for a fi e station until he is able to actually build on the site. However, there is a plan to have one d sites are being investigated. He could not respond to issues of landscaping at thi time; he said a condition could be added to have a homeowners' association; specific wordi g can address signage. In regard to grading, Mr. Swift pointed out that the developer canno change grading elevations, but must adhere to the allowed footage. He discussed the S-curve on Vineyard, noting that if other work such as utility lines need to be incorporated that it cou d all be done at the same time. Chairman Mahern felt the conditions of approval were pretty muc satisfactory as presented; however, she wished to impress that if the community ever had to go on mandatory water conservation that the residents of Ruby Hills be required to do the same. Mr. Higdon and Mr. Swift assured her that should this happen Ruby Hills would c rtainly be rationed also. Minutes Planning Commission January 8. 1992 Page 5
