Dot Schreiner, Planning Commissioner, addressed several of the changes and explained the Planning Commission's rationale behind the recommendations. Abby Ahrens,realtor, supported the fast track process but not the Planning Commission's recommended changes. She was concerned about the feelings of the neighbors of a project and wanted people to work together with no divisiveness. Jim Abrahams, 12831 Viscaino Road, concurred with Abby Ahrens' comments. He believed the applicants were tired of the Planning Commission making subjective comments on their projects. Sheila Holland, 10699 Magdalena, asked if they could see a copy of what was being discussed. Staff made copies available for the public. Sandra Humphries, 26238 Fremont, commented on architectural review and the promotion of bringing architects into Town eager to work on interesting projects. Jim Granyou, 13105 Delson Court, noted that understanding what the expectations are of the process to build in Town was important. Dealing with subjectivity was very difficult.
