155 He then referred to the density calculation that effects the General Plan Low Density Residential designation. He asked that the density flexibility be added back to the affected parcels, which would permit the maximum allowance of 13 units. He then referred to an overhead projection. He spoke about the minimum lot size and asked that it be restored to a 12,000 square foot minimum on the interior and 15,000 square foot on the northern boundary. He also asked to re-establish the maximum density of 248 units to be able to afford the required infrastructure.. Mr. Dunkley referred to the staff report and asked that paragraph five on page 35 be deleted so that the flexibility could be provided for the smaller parcels. All of these requests had been presented to the Planning staff. The goal was to have a buffer project and to preserve the loop area. He shared the concern with preserving the land. Lindsay Rollins, 570 Sycamore Road, was concerned with the large agriculture area to the north being adjacent to the smaller residential lots. Mr. Tarver asked if there was a new designation created for the agricultural section of this project or was it just one unit per acre. Mr. Swift indicated the General Plan would not be changed to show it as agriculture. Because the Low Density Residential designation of the General Plan goes from 0-2 units per acre, the area will be designated one acre minimum lot size and designated PUD agricultural under the Specific Plan. This would allow the animals to be kept in that area. Mayor Mercer asked how the road line could be moved away from Ms. Frost's home. Mr. Swift stated that it could be moved anywhere. The reason it is there is because it runs along the Arroyo. If Council chose to have the road moved to another property, it could do so. The staff did not recommend that because of the grading process that would need to done and the requirements for a bridge. The present location is the least visible and requires the least grading. Mr. Butler suggested establishing a better alignment for the road. He felt that there should be language in the plan that indicated that a designation for this road would have to be found at a later time. Mayor Mercer asked what was the earliest time that this property could be developed and when would a future City Council have to make the decision on the alignment.
