Mr. Roush said the motion would not pass. Ms. Acosta said staff and the property owners would keep working together to come up with a plan where there is a majority vote. Mr. Pico said his primary objections to the new road match the Mayor's, but he did not want to scrap the plan. He felt too much energy and time have already gone into the existing plan. He supported the realignment of the road if that is what the neighborhood wants. He did realize there are problems with trying to fix Vineyard in its current configuration that could be very expensive to fix. He did not have a problem with realigning Vineyard and closing off the existing Vineyard to through traffic. He did not agree with the location of the school. He felt there were better locations and agreed the school should not be opened until the bypass road is built. He also had heard the School District was going to construct the new school similar to Mohr Elementary. He thought the Mohr School was ugly and asked the School District to take some considerationinto architectural detail rather than just qualifying for funding. He wanted to ensure that the 4-H program would continue; protect the right to farm but he did not support only organic farming. He was ready to proceed tonight. Ms. Michelotti wanted to review the changes that had been discussed. She asked if a bed and breakfast unit takes the place of two rooms per home? Does the plan allow for a bed and breakfast to be conditionally allowed any place in the Vineyard Corridor? Mr. Rasmussen said the bed and breakfast units could only be located in the medium density residential areas. Ms. Michelotti wanted to conditionally allow bed and breakfast units throughout the project area. She did not support a 100-room inn concept in the area. She preferred small inns with six to eight rooms. Mr. Pico wanted to move forward and adopt staffs recommendations. Mayor Tarver felt there should be a condition added about the financing plan for infrastructure and that the infrastructure should be completed before tentative and final maps are processed. His concern is that people will pull building permits as soon as the Specific Plan is approved. He thought permits should not be pulled until the infrastructure problems are solved. Mr. Swift said the type of financing plan for the North Sycamore Specific Plan required that the property owners or individuals affected by the property bring forth a way that the infrastructure could be phased in conjunction with the development of the property. In the Vineyard Specific Plan staff believes that it is possible to build the project out as described in the Specific Plan. A financing plan was not included because it was believed that the project could be built from the west end towards the east end with Phase I paying for Phase II and so on.
