Charles Buso, Hacienda Mobile Home Park, addressed the Commission. He said Mr. Parrish gave a presentation to the current residents of the mobile home park and they applauded his contribution to low cost housing. He said he does not see anything in the plan for a reasonable size meeting room for the homeowners and that they will have occasions where they will need a place to meet. He asked that the Vineyard Avenue phase be compatible with the existing mobile home park and have sidewalks on the north side of Vineyard Avenue and lighting provided on the fence for security purposes and that the trees planted be of the same variety as those now growing. Commissioner Lindsey asked Mr. Buso if they have any concerns with the children being in the new proposed develop- ment. Mr. Buso said they do not have any concerns with this at all. He said in fact that normally mobile home parks pay for a school system they don't even use and are a benefit to the City. Commissioner Doherty asked Mr. Buso if he felt the development would enhance the area. Mr. Buso said personally he would prefer $300,000 homes in the area but that is appealing to his greed and feels the mobile homes are fine for the area. Commissioner Doherty reiterated his previous position that the mobile home park in the area is the logical place for one. Ken Smith, 3114 Brandy Court, Vintage Hills Homeowners Association, addressed this matter. He said they feel they can support the project with three possible concerns and all three concerns have been covered, i.e., fire protection, width of Vineyard Avenue and Pico Avenue extension. Nancy Storch, 3193 Chardonnay, addressed the Commission. She said the back of her house borders on Vineyard Avenue. She said she feels com- fortable with the development but has a few concerns she wishes to address. She asked that the roofs of the homes have a color which would blend into the landscaping. She said she would like to see the units owner occupied and there is no way to guarantee that. She also wondered where the homeowners would meet. Chairperson Getty said there are a number of homeowners associations in the City which do not have a place to meet and those organizations find public buildings or peoples homes. Mrs. Storch said she will be glad that Vineyard Avenue will be narrowed from four to two lanes. She said trucks and trailers use the area now for parking. She asked for additional planting and a median strip to narrow the street. Steve Tyler, Ty-Cal, 344 Division Street, said he didn't wish to speak for or against the project but asked the Planning Commission to consider the limited sewer capacity. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Jamieson said he would like to bring to everyone's attention that they are talking about 39 acres which haven't yet come into the City. Commissioner Wilson asked about the Bates annexation and how long it would take for the additional 10 acres to come into the City. Mr. Warnick responded that an annexation takes about six months. -11-
