Ms. Ayala's issue was the fencing. She said the fencing might block the access for wildlife going to the creek. Ms. Dennis felt staff looked at that issue. Mr. Rasmussen said staff was assuming there would be fencing with the agricultural use. Most of the area would be fenced off to keep livestock from crossing over the bypass road. Staff has not gotten into the details of the fencing. Ms. Ayala had a good point. This needed to be looked at during the PUD process or if Council wanted to add some kind of policy guidance to allow for smaller animals to get through. Ms. Ayala was willing to concede and give up the fence for A1 Spotorno. Ms. Michelotti said according to the trail system the fence encircled the entire area. She felt there was another way to get to the bypass road, going northward. Mr. Pico said there are four votes to delete the trail. Ms. Ayala was willing to give it up. The consensus was to remove the Minnie Road from the Specific Plan. 7. Spotorno agricultural compound Ms. Ayala agreed with Mayor Tarver regarding the concern for visibility. Mr. Pico agreed with the terms in the staff report. Ms. Dennis agreed. Mayor Tarver said I am assuming there must be a difference between "explore as a possibility" and "permit, subject to restrictions as to location and visibility." The way he read it, staff said no, but the Planning Commission said maybe, if it can work. Mr. Rasmussen said the Planning Commission had suggested that a plan be submitted to staff and the City Council, which the Spotorno's have done. The staff report points out concerns about visibility and suggests that the home be allowed but not be more than thirty feet above the existing Minnie Road driveway that fronts it. This keeps the house down from the top of the .hill. Ms. Michelotti said that is not what the recommendation states. Did the Planning Commission say if the house is screened it would be okay?
