6. NEW BUSINESS 6.1 Request for a one year extension for a site development permit for landscape/hardscape and retaining wall at 12390 Gigli Court, Lands of Salazar Council referred to the staff report which noted that this site development permit was originally approved in 1990.

Ken Olcott, representing Mr. Cosa - 24915 La Loma Court, commented on the issue of grading in the Finn Subdivision.
