Commissioner Blank noted that it would be a positive mitigation if this house had 150 points versus 50 points. Commissioner O'Connor supported the green building comments but did not believe that necessarily took away from the visual impact. He did not object to the size of the home as proposed and believed that a higher green building rating would be helpful. He did have a problem with putting a home of this size on top of the hill. Acting Chairperson Fox echoed Commissioner O'Connor's comments and noted that she had an issue with the size of the home at the high elevation. She would prefer to see a 5,000-square-foot home at that elevation, or perhaps demolish the barn and the existing home in order to go higher. She noted that while she liked the Reznick project, she voted no on it because she believed the projects should be consistent with the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan. She indicated that she would rather see smaller-sized homes on hillsides. Mr. Pico understood the concerns about the size of the house and visual screening and noted that they would address those concerns before coming back with a revised design. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS RE-OPENED. Ms. Roberts noted that she wished this home design were smaller because it was one of the largest homes she had seen this Commission address. She believed the site should be open space and that she would like the road to go the other way; she also believed the home should be resited. Mr. Reznick believed the Specific Plan tried to keep homes out of the open space. No action was taken. d.
