Commissioner Wilson then asked about the petitions presented to Council. Mr. Schneider said there was a petition of 36 names against the project submitted to City Council previously. He said there were only 36 names on it because of the limited time they had in which to get signatures. Sue Glanville, 3069 Chardonnay, spoke to concerns with increased density of the area and traffic problems which relate to it. She said the location is not good for transportation of seniors and others. She said there is no place for children to play. She said as far as the Vintage Hills Homeowners Association is concerned she has no idea how many people are members of this association. She said she is also concerned with real estate devaluation of surrounding homes should this development go through. Carol Hall again spoke stating there are planty of places with more and better access than this location. Commissioner Doherty indicated. that a project is being built right behind the Safeway store on Santa Rita Road. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Wilson asked what the State law is concerning this type of development. Mr. Swift responded that one cannot discriminate against manufactured housing. He said this project must be looked at based upon its merits, ie. lot layout, streets, easements, water lines, etc. but not judged on its basis of manufactured housing. Commissioner Wilson then asked about No. 15 of the negative declara- tion relating to public controversy and the fact that it is checked "No". Mr. Harris said the negative declaration was prepared prior to this meeting and at that time as far as the staff knew, there was no great amount of public controversy. Commissioner Wilson indicated that sometimes petitions are somewhat vague in saying what the citizens are opposed to. Commissioner Doherty agreed with this statement. Commissioner Doherty stated he has been in favor of this project all along. He said that the project may be a little dense but that this could be taken care of in the final decision. Commissioner Getty stated that basically she goes along with Commissioner Doherty's statements. Commissioner Wilson said these homes will be on a concrete foundation but not what one would think of as concrete foundations. He spoke to concerns with redwood planking and that in 10 years it will be deteriorated. He said for these reasons he feels the homeowners association should be responsible for them. He said in all fairness the applicant has addressed previous concerns by the City but he feels that the project is too dense. He .said that perhaps the recreation area should be increased in size since there are no parks in the area. He asked if units 71 through 142 were duplexes. Mr. Earp, the developer, responded that they are duplexes. Commissioner -19-
