OPENED PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> Dot Schreiner, Saddle Mountain Court, suggested that a new survey would be a useful <br /> tool during the second phase of the General Plan update. <br /> Jim Abraham, Viscaino Road, commented that there had been two "LUF" Ad-Hoc <br /> Committees in recent years and suggested that it would be beneficial for the Council to <br /> review their findings. Abraham explained that the numbers that had been offered by the <br /> Environmental Design and Protection Committee during their presentation were for flat <br /> lots. Parcels on sloped lots had a more restrictive formula. <br /> CLOSED PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> Council discussion ensued. They agreed that one of the major concerns with large homes <br /> was the impact on the rural character of the Town. Council considered forwarding the <br /> issue of maximum size restriction on home size and review of setbacks to the Planning <br /> Commission for their review. They suggested that the Planning Commission assess and <br /> compare development guidelines in similar hillside, rural communities. Council also <br /> considered a survey of residents to determine if there was support for setting a limit on <br /> house.size. <br /> Councilmember Mordo suggested that the Ad-Hoc Planning Committee could review the <br /> issue and make recommendations to Council on how best to proceed. <br /> Planning Director Carl Cahill noted that the City Council had several outstanding issues <br /> still under review including the new fence ordinance and discussion of highly visible lots <br /> and agreed that Councilmember Mordo's proposal would be a viable solution to <br /> reviewing the issue. He commented that large home submittals were rare and the Town <br /> received approximately one per year. <br /> Council consensus was to direct the Ad-Hoc Planning Committee to develop a timeline <br /> and procedure for review of the issue of setbacks and maximum size for residential <br /> development. <br /> 3.
