Planning Commission May 9, 1979 Page 3 Commissioner Geppert said he would like to see topographic, grading and landscaping maps along with an erosion control plan in addition to seeing what the houses would look like. He stated he is not sure an EIR needs to be done but that the Planning Commission needs more information concerning this project. City Attorney, Harvey Levine, stated action must be taken on the negative declaration before any project approval recommendation could be made. Commissioner Wilson stated the developers should prepare the lacking documents. Mr. Myers stated in response to Commissioner Wilson that there was an EIR done on 13 acres and that if the City didn't have a copy, he would see that they get one for their use on this project. Commissioner Geppert indicated since the Commission didn't have all of the documents necessary, he couldn't make a determination on the negative declaration. Mr. Harris stated another way to go would be ask the developer if he would be willing to continue this matter until further information is prepared and based upon receipt of that information the Commission could then determine what environmental impacts there would be. The representative for Centex stated they would agree to a continuance and they could provide additional environmental data by June 13, 1979. Mr. Douglass, stated he could prepare anything the Commission needed but would need to know what size lots they want considered and asked for guidance in preparing required information. Commissioner Wilson spoke to larger lots with a reduction of cut and fill. He stated if this were done he wouldn't have any objections. Dr. Trent Pridemore told Bob Douglass they had no problem with density but are looking for a more innovative approach to the development and are concerned with aesthetics and how the project would be developed.
