A. Q. A. Peter Kernkamp - I believe that the intention is that, because most of those areas will be disturbed, it would be some kind of native sod rather than blue grass sod. That is the City's preference that we have drought tolerant native type grasses in those areas rather then a higher water consumption blue grass sod. I'm concerned about what that is going to look like if we continue to get five to six inches less of water each year and we don't have irrigation along Via Appia.

To Staff - You make reference in your report that you would like to 'see the 25 foot setback from Via Appia, but it is not in your recommendation? A. That's correct. That should be included in your recommendations. That is an oversight. Commissioner Lipton - I agree with that recommendation. From my perspective the thing that is most important with this development is how it will look from Via Appia. I think the potential customers of the subdivision can make there own decision about the way things look within their enclave. I would like to see as much effort go into having some appeal to the 14
