Commissioner Lindsey asked Mr. Manning if he would object to the 18 units being built prior to the completion of Pico. Mr. Manning stated there is no objection to that but there are definite concerns with high density residential. Nancy Storch, 3193 Chardonnay, addressed the Commission with concerns addressing lack of recreation facilities being provided for children. Chairperson Wilson stated that there is a certain amount of open space set aside in a condominium development but that it would not include such things as a tot-lot. Commissioner Getty stated that Vintage Hills School is in the vicinity and could be used for a play area. Mrs. Storch said that everything is from one-half to one mile away from where she lives. Commissioner Doherty stated that generally speaking open space designed in a condominium complex is usually for the people who live in the complex. Mrs. Vickner, 464 Ewing Drive, addressed traffic and parking concerns. She stated she did a visual survey and Ewing Drive has 20 homes on it and at least half of the homes have three cars with some having more. Bill Hirst, 478 Ewing Drive, stated he lives two doors north of the Mavis/Swing intersection. He stated he has no problem with this particular application except that he objects to extending the cul- de-sac through Mavis Avenue as recommended by staff because it will not benefit the neighborhood and urged the Commission to recommend against staff's suggestion with this regard. Rick Wayne, 387 Ewing Drive, said he had no problem with the 48 lots shown but that traffic on Vineyard is much too great at this time to add additional multiples and is opposed to the townhouse portion of the proposal. He stated he agrees with Mr. Hirst's statement regarding the loop street -- he doesn't want it either. He stated that Rowell Lane is still only a half street. Commissioner Lindsey asked Mr. Wayne if Pico was completed, would Mr. Wayne still have concerns. Mr. Wayne stated he agrees with the concerns expressed by Mr. Manning of the homeowners association. Carl Walter, 627 Rowell Lane, addressed the Commission. He said his residence is located at the south end of Rowell, next to Lot No. 6 and doesn't want an easement or cul-de-sac. He suggested another cul-de-sac be opened to Mavis and disagrees with the densities proposed. He stated also there is a problem in backing out of driveways and the road would have to be made wider. Chairperson Wilson asked the width of the paved area. Mr. Harris stated he was under the impression it was standard street width. Maureen Laurence, 438 Ewing Drive, stated this is a better proposal than the one in December. She spoke, however, to the widening of Vineyard to facilitate traffic with one side of Vineyard being under County jurisdiction. -4-
