slope line), then there aze 36 acres included in the Spotorno flat land. If you apply the criteria that existed in the General Plan as developable area at the time the flat was approved for 22 units, it was 25% slope, which makes the difference between 18 and 22 units, and not 16. He also stated that for the difference of 18 and 22 units, the Spotornos are now being asked the pay for 40% of the extension of the bypass road as it leaves the MDR and goes to the golf course. There is also a request to the Spotornos for dedication of a conservation easement on the entire remainder of the property. He feels that these aze major requests that are not fair to the Spotornos considering a density bonus of only four units. Mr. MacDonald also stated that he wants to review the citations reviewed by Ms. Seto relating to the open space easements and conversation easements. Mr. Champion clarified that he met with the Golf Course Committee and tried to work with them about having the golf course enter the Spotorno area. The Committee declined because it felt the area was too small to accommodate two fairways. He wanted the record to reflect that the Spotornos did not reject it and, in contrary, would have welcomed the opportunity. Nick Chapman, 255 Happy Valley, was joined by other ranchers from the south Happy Valley Road area. They introduced themselves are Tamaza Miranda, 933 Happy Valley Road; Wes Felton, 657 Happy Valley Road; AI Schaffer, 777 Happy Valley Road; and Dennis Glafkides, 737 Happy Valley Road. Mr. Chapman noted that another neighbor, Frank Garcia, was unable to stay for the remainder of the meeting. Mr. Chapman showed on a map where he and his fellow ranchers live. He stated that it is their desire to preserve the agriculture in the Pleasanton Valley and to keep it a viable way of life for their families. They request that the Commission consider their proposed modifications of the specific plan, which he presented to the Commission in writing, as well as their previously presented comments. Commissioners Barker, Dove, Kumaran, and Wright noted for the record that they visited the ostrich farm and the Schaffer property. Bill Howell, readdressed the Commission and stated that he understood the Golf Course Committee was eager to develop into the Spotorno property, but the plan submitted by the Spotornos was not viable. He also disagreed with Mr. Kyle's report of the extent of the damage to the Castlewood County Club golf course. Mr. Howell agreed with Mr. Smith's comments relating to the water and sewer lines. He also stated that he feels the Spotornos should have to pay the entire cost of the bypass road because they would have to build it whether the golf course was going in or not. He farther stated that by adding homes to the hillsides and valleys of the area, the semi-rural chazacter will be taken away. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED RECESS TAKEN AT 9:25 P.M.
