Commissioner Hovingh referred to Condition 8 and noted that it r ers to a single homeowners association, whereas the applicant has referred to two associations. Mr. Swift clarified that there will be a "blanket" association with several sub associations. Commissioner Horan referred to Condition 9 and asked Mr. Swift whether the 50 dBA level could be improved upon. Mr. Swift said this could be accomplish with extra insulation in the attics of the homes. Some additional study could be done on is matter. Commissioner Horan referred to Condition 17.

COMMISSION'S COMMENTS Chairman Mahern stated there are some things she likes about the plan, specifically the design of the houses for the townhomes and clustered homes. Sh liked the efforts the developer has made in regard to the accesses off Stoneridge and bout looping the road around. That is one of the few things she liked about the project, but cannot support it. The thing that she was surprised about was that she thought it really as going to be "feathered"; she does not see that taking place. She thought they were going see a project more like the one across the Arroyo. In response to the neighbors' concern about traffic on Martin Avenue, she said she never intended for this to be a possibility. he did not know how the issue of traffic to the school would be resolved, but she did not ant to see that happen. She agreed with Commissioner McGuirk that the park and school co d be "flip-flopped" back to Stoneridge, and possibly this would work. However, she did not want the Commission to redesign the project for the developer. She felt the townhouse pI did not have enough parking space. She concluded that she would like single family I ts with a "feathering" effect; more housing at the R-6,500 or the R-8,500; she thinks th project is too dense; and needs to do a better job of buffering the people in the Mohr/M n area from the project. Commissioner Michelotti said she was here when the Specific P was formed and when it was decided that the Mohr/Martin area should remain a rural- area. That is why she supported Martin Avenue being cul-de-saced. She did like the d ign; the fact that Stoneridge did not have to have a soundwall the entire length. wever, she would support a redesign where they get rid of the linear park and put the low- ensity housing back in there. She pretty much agreed with Chairman Mahern that the p oject needs to be redesigned. She would also favor some truly affordable housing nits. Minute. Planning Commiuion March 11. 1992 PalO 7
