There wilt be no impact fees or impact 295 fees required to be paid to tie into the new eight inch line. The water rates, pressures will stay the same. It will just be an eight- 296 inch line. 297 298 Larry Wright: In the minutes of last meeting, the discussion of the sidewalk goes from line 300 to line around 400. I would like to 299 know or at least make some comment in this meeting and put it in the minutes that the chapter 4 of the Comprehensive Plan 300 does endorse at length, on page 3.7 and page 3.22 of the Comprehensive Plan, addressing sidewalks there. to Chapter 5.7, 301 also there. Chapter 9.1 and 9.2 there is an overview that encourages sidewalks. 302 303 Brian Crawford: In the Endings of Facts that we are deliberating tonight, is there a section where the planning board can make_ 304 an affirmative statement about sidewals and suggest to the BOCC. 305 3-06 Michael Harvey:. Not in the Findings of Fact but I need #o remind the board that on page 72, staff-has recommended over 70 307 conditions_associated with the approval of this project. We suggested at the July 6 meeting that you add a condition stating that 308 .you encourage sidewalks as required by the Comprehensive Plan and then your recommendation made. at the July 6 meeting 309 was that the BOCC needs to find a way to accommodate sidewalks without making the applicant pay font or incur the perpetual 310 maintenance costs. You can certainly add that as a specific condition at the appropriate time. 311 312 Mark Marcoplos: On page564 at ttie top, talks about xeriscaping, what is the guiding. resource that directs people to understand? 313 314 Michael Harvey: The Orange County UDO is the guiding principle. Our landscape ordinance requires the use of drought tolerant 315 local non-evasive specifies. 316 317 Mark Marcoplos: How would someone determine if that has been adhered to? 318 319 Michael Harvey: The existing landscaping ordinance provides a listing of acceptable trees with acceptable planting requirements 320- and the planning staff is-responsible for guaranteeing they comply. 321 322 Mark Marcoplos: Seems kind of vague to me but I'll take your word for it. 323 324 Brian Crawford: Any other comments from the planning board members or staff? Does-the applicant have any final thoughts or 325 comments particularly around the issue of density? One of the public comments this evening was that there will be a large 326 amount of Habitat houses in one single community. Any comments? 327 328 Susan Levy: Hi, my name is Susan Levy and I represent Habitat. Our only comment is that we-have located several similar 329 communities throughout the County and do not believe there will be a problem with an overabundance of habitat .sponsored 330 housing in this area. 331 332 Brian Crawford: We have talked about in previous meetings but the need is there and you have a waiting list of people ready to 333 move in. 334 335 Susan Levy: We have people who are interested and have begun the application process but there is nothing definitive yet as 336 the project has not been approved and construction has not yet commenced. 337 338 Brian Crawford: Why don't we start. 339 340 Michael Harvey: Mr. Chairman, beginning on page. 36 of Attachment 3, the Findings of the Orange County Planning Staff 341 relating to this request.
