Commissioner Hovingh said he did not have quite as many proble s with the project as his colleagues did; in his mind the project meets the conditions of the pecific Plan. However, he was concerned about the 28 ft. width of the streets on the wes entrance of the project. He did like the village concept; he would ensure that an eight ft. ti nce on the south side of Village One borders the Hirst project. He would also want away across the Arroyo. Commissioner McGuirk noted that he had somewhat of a hard tim with the orientation of the park and the school, but sees some solution with Mr. Swift's c .fications. However, he would like to see the park and the school located on Stoneridge. e would favor a link between the park area and the linear park, but still have a delinea. n. He felt the house design was all right, but was not too "keen" on the Cypress trees. He also did not see that "feathering" is taking place. He was not sure whether the Commi sion should go for a denial or just a redesign, but felt the developer should go back an work with the neighbors to try and work out their problems. Commissioner Horan felt there is an unfortunate circumstance wi end in a cul-de-sac, but felt the planners must have looked carefu at the issues involved. He could not agree with the comments regarding the possible reo . ntation of the park and school. He felt that Stoneridge should be the major thoroughfare. He would not want to see large houses along Stoneridge and did not understand why the FA is as it is. He felt all in all, he could support the project with some mitigation. Commissioner Wright said he does have some concerns about the roject, but thought the developer had a pretty good project, but that it is not right for the area. He felt it was not low density residential; there was no affordable housing in the pI' ect; he felt the linear park could not be considered a park, but was simply a strip of land. Commissioner Michelotti commented that she felt if an eight ft. undwall or buffer has to be put around a project to screen it, that something is wrong and e project should be redesigned or denied. She is not totally against the concept of the Villages, but felt that the "feathering" has not taken place according to the Specific Plan. A motion was made by Commissioner Hovingh, seconded by Co missioner Horan fmding that the proposed rezoning for Case PUD-91-11 to the PUD - LD ,MDR, and PI district is consistent with the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan and the PI n General Plan.
