and adequate, and, therefore, a recommendation could be made on whether the Final EIR may be certified. Ms. Decker then introduced Marion Pavan, Associate Planner and project planner. Mr. Pavan stated that at the close of a three-year process, he had considered it a distinct privilege to be able to work on this project. He presented the staff report and noted that Commissioner Narum, because of her previous service on the Parks and Recreation Commission, would not be able to speak on the open space issues but may speak and provide recommendation on the project. He then detailed the background, scope, and layout of the proposed project. He noted that with respect to phasing, two thresholds existed: 1. Phasing with respect to when fire measures need to be installed, including a water tank. Some lots may be constructed, absent the fire access road, the EVA, or water tank. 2. Before that phase may take place, there is also a threshold with respect to the installation of trails and open space, which must be done before the sale of the fifth lot. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Fox with respect to Commissioner Narum’s presence on the dais during the discussion of open space during the staff report, Mr. Roush confirmed that while she may not be able to participate in the discussion concerning open space, for purposes of presentation of the staff report, she may remain to hear that section of the staff report. Mr. Pavan continued to describe the EIR process for this project, described the open space area, and displayed the trail plan on the overhead screen. Commissioner O’Connor stated that it seemed like the language of the conditions of approval with respect to completing the road in the phasing was not clear. He noted that it seemed that a sign at the end of the street showing the future street would indicate that the street was not in place. Mr. Pavan displayed the map and described the phasing plan, pointing out the first phase that may be built first. Mr. Roush noted that the condition was written with respect to the fire condition and that the seven lots could be developed without having the fire access and the new water tank in place. He added that would be examined separately from the issue with respect to the sale of the fifth lot for the staging area. He noted that those conditions may be modified to bring them into harmony with the rest of the project. Commissioner Pearce noted that on page 7 as well as Condition 58.c. discussed the public access easement within the Grey Eagle Estates subdivision being used as an ingress-only road for safety for the vehicles. She requested clarification about an entrance-only Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA). Mr. Roush noted that in discussions with the Grey Eagle Homeowners Association (HOA) representatives, the representatives expressed concern that if the EVA through the Grey Eagle Estates property were to be used in an PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 13, 2007 Page 8 of 29
