Review of Planning Commission Meeting:
Planning commission recommended approval of the large home ordinance. Bart Carey
pointed out the compromise of the ordinance. They reviewed the proposed water
ordinance and decided to recommend that water system information be included on
landscape plans. There would be a simple addition to the town’s usual check off list
routing this information to the water district.
Review of Fast Track and Site Development Meetings: Stated view ordinance to help
resolve neighbor issues.
Future Commitments: none pending
Old Business: Liz will continue to look into vineyard ordinances in Napa and Sonoma
Counties. Sandy recommended checking with Yerba Buena Nursery as well. Final
approval is still pending on the new plantings at town hall. Budget and bid still not in
line. ED&PC to donate $1000 of this year’s budget to help fund this project. Sandy to
contact landscape contractor to re-negotiate bid. Letter to be sent to Debbie Pedro asking
for a plaque to be placed on the garden recognizing the ED&PC contributions and
naming the garden the ED&PC Native Plant Demonstration Garden.
Sandy will write the first newsletter column on coyote bush (check with Duffy Price on
deadline and size limitations.). Committee members to bring new ideas for subsequent
newsletters to each meeting. Continue to research town library books by contacting staff
and Jean Struthers for titles.
New Business: Robin will revise site visit forms again.
Meeting adjourned: 6:50 PM
