a certain percentage of single story homes. She also stated that if 75 homes will not fit in the Spororno MDR area, then that area should be limited to 69 units and she would consider transferring the six units to the Happy Valley Loop area. This would then allow 22 units in the loop area and only 69 units in the MDR area, but it would mean the units would be consistent with the cant' capacity for the combined parcels. She will also agree to a family compound if a five-acre split is approved similar to that in the proposal by the residents in the South Happy Valley Area. Commissioner Kumaran agrees to delete Trail #7. He supports the 1 1/2 acre density and 22 homes for the lower Spotorno property. However, because of the concessions that were made about retaining the open space and in teens of not having any additional development he will not support six additional homes. With regard to the road cost, he feels the Commission should be consistent to what was done with Greenbriar. He feels that the developer has caused the necessity for the road and should, therefore, pay the full cost. In addition, he is supportive of allowing a family compound and suggests that language be included in the plan. Commissioner Dove agrees that the Spotorno developer should be required to pay for the full cost of the bypass road, but recommended that it be constructed immediately by the City and that the Spotornos reimburse the City at the proper time. However, he feels that the Spotornos could have gotten to their site cheaper than their current cost if it were not for the golf course. He, therefore, feels that golf course should pay their fair share of the cost of the road based on a traffic study. Chair Cooper noted that the objective of the two-acre zoning was to minimize the impact on the Happy Valley property owners, yet the Spotornos are the largest property owners in the area. They own the largest amount of acreage and are not ending up with a lot of residential development. He supports 22 homes on the lower Spotorno property with a reservation for afive-acre open space dedication and a percentage of single-story homes as recommended by Commissioner Barker. He feels that due to the Greenbriar decision, it will be difficult to get the City Council to vote differently regarding the cost sharing of the road. However, he is very concerned because the costs to the Spotornos will be extremely high. He feels there should be some concessions made for them since they have to design homes to mitigate the issues expressed by the Happy Valley residents. In addition, Chair Cooper stated that if 75 homes cannot be built in the MDR area, he will not oppose moving 5 or 6 of those units to the entrance of the golf course to help pay for the bypass road. He feels that since the road has been moved away from Happy Valley, it would be a fair trade. With regard to the family compound, he would support that only if there were appropriate restrictions to prevent it from being built on the ridge. Finally, he supports deleting Trail #7 and suggested that Trai18A be constructed when 75% of the MDR is complete. Mr. Rasmussen expressed staffs concerns for not wanting to shift 6 of the homes from the MDR area. He stated that a large portion of the land for which the Spotornos are proposing the 6 units, is actually on the golf course property and would affect the golf course homesites. He stated that the most recent proposal reviewed by staff from the developer, including splitting an already proposed lot in half. Therefore, six new lots would be created, of which one would be acquired by the City. By adding these Planning Commission Page 12 April 29, 1998
