mented that, in his opinion, the house was not different from the other homes in the area and he did not think it was very visible. too Mr. Tam, applicant, explained location of the house on the lot as indicated by the stakes on the property. Council had several concerns about the proposed project. Dronkert noted that the map did not reflect what was on the site. She also could not make the positive finding that the proposed application was consistent with the lot and the immediate neighborhood. Tryon noted the inadequate plan and the geologic concerns of the prop- erty. van Tamelen stated she could not support the application.

Mrs. Sandra Tanaka, 26020 Newbridge Road, stated that residents pay for their lots and have a right to build. She could not be- lieve the application before Council had actually begun over a year ago. She felt the neighbors had a right to input but should not be able to deny a neighboring resident to build. Mr. Wubbels, applicant, explained that in the process of their applications many modifications and revisions had been made. He felt that the concerns of the neighbors had been addressed and the project before Council reflected a sensitive approach.
