Agenda was posted as required on September 15, 2006. Conflict of Interest and Disclosure: Sheets disclosed that the state agency she works for had previously taken an enforcement action against McStain and she was involved in the case. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Lipton noted the additional email regarding the case that had been submitted since the distribution of the meeting packets. Pritchard moved and Loo seconded a motion to enter the email into public record. Motion passed by voice vote. McCartney reviewed the 5 items that had been identified by the Planning Commission at the August 10, 2006 public hearing as follows: 1) Density - discussed Area 7 of the Comprehensive Plan with the following points: a. Low Density would allow 3.5 - 5.0 du/acre. b. Surrounding properties have this average square footage: Hillsborough West is 7,000 - 9,000 SF per lot and Continental View Estates is 16,000 SF lots. c. Gateway lots are planned at 10,000 - 12,000 SF lots, which afford a good transition between the two neighboring subdivisions. d. There is a 36% open space dedication and that does not include the 5 acres to the west of McCaslin. 2) Traffic - eight alternate access designs have been reviewed by staff with the conclusion that the originally planned full movement is the best option; provides full movement and has the least impact to the neighborhood. 3) Landscaping - will be discussed by the applicant. 4) Architecture - will be discussed by the applicant.
