The Planning Commission took "straw votes" on the <br />following items: <br />• Whether the Specific Plan requires the proposed home to be built precisely on the <br />"blob" shown on the land use plan or whether there was flexibility with respect to <br />interpretation of the Specific Plan. <br />There was consensus that there could be flexibility considered in the siting of the future <br />home and that the proposed home did not need to be located precisely on the "blob "shown <br />on the land use plan, located more or less at the angle point at the easterly and southerly <br />property lines. <br />• Whether the top of the knoll was an appropriate location for a home and whether it <br />was acceptable to locate the proposed home there. <br />Two Commissioners did not feel that the top of the knoll was an appropriate location to <br />build a home.

One Commissioner indicated that <br />she would not support the proposed cupola due to concerns with its visual prominence on the <br />hillside site. Other Commissioners felt that the cupola was acceptable since it was not very <br />wide. <br />• Whether the massing and color of the house was acceptable. <br />One Commissioner indicated that she appreciated the toning down of the colors of the house. <br />Another Commissioner believed a little more toning down of the colors and reduction of the <br />massing of the home would be helpful.
