Review of Planning Commission Meetings
Homo Natoma: continued for the second time. The owners will continue working with
neighbours over impacted views.
The Incerpi subdivision was approved, the Commission deciding in favour of Open
Space over EDP concerning an easement over the creek on the lots.
The 11,000 s.f. house on Donaldson Place was approved unanimously.
Water-efficient Landscaping Ordinance: more small amendments were made. The
Commission liked the suggestion of Jitze Couperus that home buyers should be informed
of the cost of the water used on the landscaping.
New Landscape Recommendations Guide: additional small amendments were made,
including adding the name of the original artist whose drawings added so much to the
pamphlet. The Commission congratulated all those involved in this document.
