He felt the density of the townhouses on the east side inappropriate as shown. He would like to have medium density townhouses north interfacing with Laguna Vita. He would like to see approximately one-half of the acreage currently shown in the townhouses taken back and put into custom lots. Chairman Wilson stated that to cluster the units, you may as well leave the townhouses there. Commissioner Michelotti didn't agree with the clustering of units proposed and felt the development should take advantage of the natural terrain. She was concerned with the visual impact of the area. The previous plan showed four tiers of homes and now it calls for three tiers of homes. She did not want the development to be totally visible. Chairman Wilson was concerned about fire trucks getting up a narrow road. Commissioner Innes asked Mr. Fairfield how many houses are on the loop in the middle bench area. Mr. Fairfield responded there are 18 lots covering 20 acres on the loop. Commissioner Michelotti felt some type of compromise had to be reached keeping in mind economic feasibility, Commissioner Innes stated his concern even with looking at the alternative plans is that 224 units less 9 units still equals 215 units. The residential review committee suggested a range of 165 units. Commissioner Lindsey made a motion that PUD-85-15 be moved for approval and that the east side of Foothill Road have a maximum of 130 units and remain Low Density Residential, that the area be developed roughly as submitted by the applicant with 117 townhouses and 13 one-half acre lots. The west side shall have the General Plan changed from Low Density Residential and Open Space to Low Density Residential approving 80 units on the bench only with the remaining 9 units and park access be removed from the development. Commissioner Innes indicated he could not second the motion as he could not support 117 townhouses. - 12 -
