Waddell responded <br /> that he understood that it was an equestrian <br /> path. Reid stated that he understood Barrows' <br /> concern, but, there have been some problems in <br /> Heartwood with what is considered common space <br /> being for Heartwood use only. This open space <br /> would not be controlled by Heartwood Homeowners' <br /> Association and would give direct access for <br /> anyone to Duke Forest. <br /> Reid stated that his knowledge of the situation <br /> is from his position as a board member of the <br /> Hearth Board. As a member of that Board, he would <br /> be abstaining from the vote since there will be <br /> monetary gain for the Hearth Foundation; the <br /> owner of Deer Ridge is the founder of the Hearth <br /> Foundation. <br /> MOTION: Burklin moved approval as recommended by the <br /> Planning Staff. Seconded by Jobsis. <br /> VOTE: 6 in favor. <br /> 1 abstained (Reid - for reasons already stated) . <br /> AGENDA ITEM #9: MATTERS HEARD AT PUBLIC HEARING <br /> (5/5/94, 5/23/94, 6/30/94) <br />
