Review of Site and Fast Track meetings:
A lot merger was proposed on La Vida Real to allow at 20,000+ sq. ft. house to be built.
Environmental design registered their concern over monster houses once again.
Future Commitments: Meeting with Tom Klope Thurs. at 5:00 PM re: town hall
landscaping.
Old Business:
We will finalize the research and documentation of house sizes. We will contact Carl
Cahill to request all additional information he has on local ordinances as well as
suggested point systems to reward conservation and house size limitation.
New Business: The committee met with Brad Blackman, Jerry Schoenig, and Shahla
Sheikholeslana re: tree destruction on lots they wish to subdivide on Altamont. They
claim no responsibility in the destruction of the trees, but would like to be part of the
solution by replacing the three destroyed heritage oaks with 84 inch box oaks. This
solution was accepted by the committee and town staff Leslie Hopper and will be listed
as part of the condition of approval for the subdivision. Additionally three smaller oaks
will be required to replace the other lost trees when new home plans are submitted.
There is currently a sheriff’s investigation being conducted to find the culprit.
Meeting adjourned at 7:15 PM
