MATTERS FOR COMMISSION'S REVIEW Review of Cork Harbor (Centex) elevations and siting plans Mr. Harris presented staff s recommendation that the staff is satisfied with the elevations of houses and siting except for some two-story structures which are 15 ft. apart. He said the applicant could widen that distance a little but that this can be worked out between the staff and the applicant. Mr. Harris said the staff recommends approval as proposed. Commissioner Jamieson asked if all the residents on the north and east of the subject property were notified of this review. Mr. Harris stated that neighbors who previously showed interest in this matter were notified. Commissioner Doherty spoke to visual easements. He asked how the visual easements would be protected before filing of the final map and its approval. Mr. Harris said that the homeowners can be notified that the documents have been prepared, when and where to execute them. He said the developer could be required to do this also. Mr. Harris said it might be that they can be executed after the final map is approved because they can not be recorded until final map is approved. He said even if we do this before filing of the final map, it may not be fair to the applicant as it could hold up an entire development of the property and that it is incumbent upon each individual property owner to make sure and take the initiative to get the document executed. Commissioner Doherty asked who is responsible for preparing the basic visual easement. Mr. Harris responded that it is the City's responsibility. Commissioner Doherty felt that at this time it is necessary to determine the procedure to be used. Mr. Harris suggested the developer be consulted on this. -2-
