long as findings which the HPD ordinance require can be made, approval can be granted. Mr. Harris stated that the negative declaration prepared for this project is appropriate. He stated the difference between the original proposal and this one is insignificant as far as the negative declaration is con- cerned. Mr. Swift responded to Mr. Henderson's concerns with regard to Eucalyptus trees. He said they are generally not good yard trees. Commissioner Lindsey said they have considered this proposal before, walked the area and he feels that the project as proposed makes sense for the area and basically he is in support of the proposal and staff recommendations g governing its recommended approval. Commissioner Lindsey made a motion, seconded by Commission Doherty that the negative declaration prepared for case HPD-80-12 be recommended for approval inasmuch as any significant environmental effects will be reduced to an insignificant level with conditions of project approval as recommended.

He said he would support the 74 conditions suggested by staff with amendments thereto which support the ability to make findings for the mitigated negative declaration. He said his personal recommendation would be for a maximum of 21 lots moving 6 and 7 and eliminate No. 24 as suggested by staff.
