Mr. Happ noted that places to put the dirt have come and gone and added that hauling the dirt should not be an issue. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Fox regarding whether any other developer could have brought the Centex house plans in, Mr. Happ replied that was not the case because Centex walked from the project due to the obstacles facing the project and the costs that made it infeasible. They planned to put the dirt in three possible sites in the Vineyard area. Steve Brozosky, 1 Brozosky Hill Way, noted that he had sent his complete list of concerns to the Commission and inquired whether his previous email had been received by the Commission. Ms. Decker noted that was not a recent email but could be retrieved if needed. Mr. Brozosky noted that he received from staff the last conditions from the staff report which were supposed to be PUD-05-01M-01D, which was filed with a resolution with the wrong number on it. He anticipated that staff would fix that. He believed that the definition of FAR in the staff report was inconsistent with earlier discussion and that the definition was “a ratio of total floor area of all buildings on the site to the total land area of the site.” He noted that it should refer to the developable part of the lot and not the gross acreage; he requested that the definition be changed for future clarification. He noted that the City did not consider the sports court an accessory structure and believed that it would not be good in this development. He noted that he was missing the correct conditions of approval for PUD-05-01M, the tentative map, and PUD-05-01M-01D and did not know how the Commission could make a decision without having the correct conditions of approval. He added that the Commission did not have the grading plan or the landscaping plan and did not know what the lots would look like after they were graded. He noted that the Centex visuals included houses. He noted that the original approval was brought to Council to expedite the construction of Neal Elementary School and added that it looked like the school would not go in just yet. Mr. Brozosky was concerned about the 40-percent FAR, which he believed was quite high; he noted that the Centex homes had an FAR of 16-29 percent. He believed that any visuals would be incorrect as a result. He would like to see the conditions of approval include a requirement that the landscaping must be in before the first lot is sold to avoid seeing unattractive retaining walls. He expressed concern about the number of trucks in the area and where the haul-off dirt would be placed. He did not want to see the trucks go over the open-grade asphalt that had recently been placed. He noted that a condition was missed, which was a requirement of the Specific Plan and the EIR that required that all trucks hauling excavating materials to be covered with tarps or other effective covers. He noted that as a mitigation measure in the EIR, it would be a requirement of the EIR and should be a condition. He inquired whether the Specific Plan language for fireplace requirements were more strict than the City requirements and believed that if so, they should be the requirements for this application. He noted that there was a problem with the condition regarding the newly installed lights on the barn, which were visible all night PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 11, 2007 Page 9 of 27
