Chairperson Maas noted that Mr. Iserson and Mr. McDonald would work out the details regarding the appropriate lots for the photovoltaics. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Sullivan, Mr. Iserson confirmed that at the time ofrecording the Final Map, the lots with the PV panels would be designated based on their orientation and preliminary designated house layout.

He believed these houses would be very visible, especially from 580 and BART. Chairperson Maas believed that the size of the homes should be kept as approved, and that the size should not be increased. Commissioner Sullivan believed the homes were already too visible from the ridge line. Commissioner Kameny did not believe that seeing a house from 580 was much of a problem. Chairperson Maas noted that the Commission had spent so much time on that area, which was very sensitive. Commissioner Kameny noted that landscaping would mitigate the visual impact when it was installed. ,--. Plarming Commission Minutes August 28, 2002 Page 18
