presentations. 358 00:15:55,168 --> 00:15:57,168 I'm sure that supervisor holmes took 359 00:15:57,168 --> 00:16:00,768 away from additional information in some 360 00:16:02,168 --> 00:16:03,168 of those presentations. 361 00:16:03,168 --> 00:16:05,168 very interesting presentation 362 00:16:06,168 --> 00:16:09,168 particularly on the very murky future 363 00:16:09,168 --> 00:16:11,168 for cannabis in california. 364 00:16:11,168 --> 00:16:15,368 which really enforced my belief this is 365 00:16:16,168 --> 00:16:17,168 an issue that we're probably going to be 366 00:16:17,168 --> 00:16:20,768 revisiting multiple times over the next 367 00:16:21,168 --> 00:16:22,168 few years. 368 00:16:22,168 --> 00:16:24,168 supervisor holmes, was there anything 369 00:16:24,168 --> 00:16:27,108 else on that you wanted to add? 370 00:16:27,108 --> 00:16:29,108 >> supervisor holmes: regarding the 371 00:16:29,108 --> 00:16:32,108 marijuana issue the state has been 372 00:16:32,108 --> 00:16:33,108 putting into your laps. 373 00:16:33,108 --> 00:16:36,108 it's like opening the door to toon town. 374 00:16:36,108 --> 00:16:38,108 it's going to be bizarre when all this 375 00:16:38,108 --> 00:16:39,108 rolls out. 376 00:16:39,108 --> 00:16:41,108 I think we should put off our discussion 377 00:16:41,108 --> 00:16:43,108 regarding the marijuana issue until 378 00:16:43,108 --> 00:16:45,108 after november 8th. 379 00:16:46,108 --> 00:16:47,108 that will be up to the rest of the 380 00:16:47,108 --> 00:16:48,108 board. 381 00:16:48,108 --> 00:16:51,708 very concerning about how it's rolling 382 00:16:52,108 --> 00:16:54,108 out and all kinds of different 383 00:16:54,108 --> 00:16:55,108 perspective from different people and 384 00:16:55,108 --> 00:16:56,108 organizations. 385 00:16:56,108 --> 00:16:58,508 >> supervisor montgomery: we had 386 00:17:04,108 --> 00:17:07,708 someone from public policy ppic -- 387 00:17:09,108 --> 00:17:10,108 institute of california. 388 00:17:10,108 --> 00:17:13,108 I knew I'd get it. 389 00:17:14,108 --> 00:17:16,108 the increases in crime that we've been 390 00:17:16,108 --> 00:17:18,108 seeing in california. 391 00:17:18,108 --> 00:17:20,508 interestingly across the nation. 392 00:17:21,108 --> 00:17:25,308 particularly as it related to ad-109 and 393 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,480 trying to it determine if there was 394 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,480 tracking that could or gate increase in 395 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,480 crime with ab-109. 396 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,480 the general consensus we seem to see 397 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,480 crime on the rise throughout the nation. 398 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,248 that in states that have not adopted 399 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,848 ab-109 style reform, and I use is that 400 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:55,480 word knowing what it means. 401 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,480 we've seen very, very similar increases 402 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:58,480 in crime. 403 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,480 I think there is a lot of follow-up to 404 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:03,480 do. 405 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,480 there is still a great deal of question 406 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,480 around proposition 47. 407 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,480 we didn't have enough data so the 408 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,480 passage of prop 47 to draw any 409 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,480 conclusion about increases in crime as 410 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,448 it relates to prop 47. 411 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,480 but within the next year, that data 412 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,988 should exist and there will probably be 413 00:18:26,988 --> 00:18:29,988 some conclusions that could be drawn at 414 00:18:29,988 --> 00:18:30,988

support of fairs statewide. 650 00:29:27,388 --> 00:29:30,388 the placer county fair lost $200,000 a 651 00:29:30,388 --> 00:29:32,388 year in operational support through that 652 00:29:32,388 --> 00:29:33,388 action. 653 00:29:33,388 --> 00:29:34,388 some of the money starting to come back 654 00:29:34,388 --> 00:29:37,388 after the hiatus three years. 655 00:29:41,388 --> 00:29:43,388 that doesn't go far to support their 656 00:29:43,388 --> 00:29:44,388 operations. 657 00:29:44,388 --> 00:29:47,388 they had to make a number of difficult 658 00:29:47,388 --> 00:29:49,388 choices regarding staff. 659 00:29:55,388 --> 00:29:57,388 nationwide fairs and entities that 660 00:29:57,388 --> 00:30:00,388 operate them rely on rental. 661 00:30:04,380 --> 00:30:06,381 the fair is four days. 662 00:30:06,381 --> 00:30:08,381 the rest of the operations year around 663 00:30:08,381 --> 00:30:09,381 support that. 664 00:30:09,381 --> 00:30:11,381 the aging facilities, many of these are 665 00:30:11,381 --> 00:30:12,381 80 years old. 666 00:30:12,381 --> 00:30:14,381 the sewer and electrical infrastructure 667 00:30:14,381 --> 00:30:15,381 are aging. 668 00:30:15,381 --> 00:30:18,381 jones and johnson hall were built in the 669 00:30:18,381 --> 00:30:19,381 50s. 670 00:30:19,381 --> 00:30:21,381 it's interesting to note that jones hall 671 00:30:21,381 --> 00:30:24,981 is 11,000 square feet and it's the 672 00:30:27,381 --> 00:30:29,381 largest facility for rent in the county. 673 00:30:29,381 --> 00:30:32,981 johnson hall, the other is about 6,000 674 00:30:35,381 -->

ago about the state 702 00:31:46,321 --> 00:31:47,321 bringing back funding. 703 00:31:47,321 --> 00:31:49,321 the state required some financial 704 00:31:49,321 --> 00:31:50,321 auditing. 705 00:31:50,321 --> 00:31:52,721 your auditor controllers office 706 00:31:53,321 --> 00:31:55,321 conducted an audit and did the work 707 00:31:55,321 --> 00:31:57,321 earlier this year. 708 00:31:57,321 --> 00:32:00,321 the audit identified some deficiencies 709 00:32:03,321 --> 00:32:05,321 in record keeping. 710 00:32:06,321 --> 00:32:08,321 they were low-staffed. 711 00:32:11,321 --> 00:32:13,321 it was recommended earlier this summer, 712 00:32:13,321 --> 00:32:16,321 and it was centered around better 713 00:32:16,321 --> 00:32:19,321 record-keeping, training for staff and 714 00:32:19,321 --> 00:32:21,321 reporting budget actuals and the fair 715 00:32:21,321 --> 00:32:23,721 board wholeheartedly endorsed the 716 00:32:26,321 --> 00:32:28,261 recommendations and working to make 717 00:32:28,261 --> 00:32:30,261 improvements. 718 00:32:30,261 --> 00:32:33,261 the fair ground has continued to operate 719 00:32:33,261 --> 00:32:34,261 successfully this year. 720 00:32:34,261 --> 00:32:38,461 they've had an uptick in interim event 721 00:32:40,261 --> 00:32:43,261 rentals and ran a race series that 722 00:32:43,261 --> 00:32:45,261 continues to implement operating 723 00:32:45,261 --> 00:32:47,261 restrictions to be good neighbors to the 724 00:32:47,261 --> 00:32:48,261 community. 725 00:32:48,261 --> 00:32:54,261 the fair shows a bit of a net loss due 726 00:32:55,261 --> 00:32:58,261 to entertainment expense and marketing. 727 00:32:59,261 --> 00:33:01,261 the report talks about a loss in the 728 00:33:01,261 --> 00:33:03,261 speedway although they haven't had one 729 00:33:03,261 --> 00:33:05,261 of their large events yet this year. 730 00:33:05,261 --> 00:33:06,261 the 2016 financials are still 731 00:33:06,261 --> 00:33:08,261 incomplete. 732 00:33:08,261 --> 00:33:09,261 I'm just going to skip ahead. 733 00:33:09,261 --> 00:33:12,261 because the meat of the discussion today 734 00:33:12,261 --> 00:33:13,261 is it about the future of the 735 00:33:13,261 --> 00:33:15,261 fairgrounds site. 736 00:33:16,261 --> 00:33:19,261 just to talk a little bit about -- you 737 00:33:19,261 --> 00:33:23,461 know -- the fair was well-attended this 738 00:33:27,201 --> 00:33:28,201 year. 739 00:33:28,201 --> 00:33:31,201 the agricultural events that our youth 740 00:33:31,201 --> 00:33:33,201 are engaged in were successful. 741 00:33:33,201 --> 00:33:34,201 there was a lot of community 742 00:33:34,201 --> 00:33:35,201 involvement. 743 00:33:35,201 --> 00:33:38,201 the pageant provides opportunities for 744 00:33:38,201 --> 00:33:39,201 young women in the community to take 745 00:33:39,201 --> 00:33:42,201 leadership roles and support our 746 00:33:42,201 --> 00:33:43,201 community. 747 00:33:43,201 --> 00:33:44,201 there were lots of community members 748 00:33:44,201 --> 00:33:46,201 that came out with the arts and crafts. 749 00:33:46,201 --> 00:33:50,401 I think the strawberry jelly took first 750 00:33:51,201 --> 00:33:52,201 place this year. 751 00:33:52,201 --> 00:33:54,201 we had a wine garden that some of the 752 00:33:54,201 --> 00:33:56,201 staff helped develop for the fair 753 00:33:56,201 --> 00:33:59,201 association where we had placer county 754 00:33:59,201 --> 00:34:01,201 wines available for sell for the first 755 00:34:01,201 --> 00:34:02,201 time this year. 756 00:34:02,201 --> 00:34:04,201 there were lots of attractions to amuse 757 00:34:04,201 --> 00:34:05,201 people. 758 00:34:05,201 --> 00:34:07,201 entertainment opportunities. 759 00:34:07,201 --> 00:34:09,201 there was a race on saturday. 760 00:34:09,201 --> 00:34:12,201 it was generally well-attended although 761 00:34:12,201 --> 00:34:16,201 the heat was a challenge this year. 762 00:34:16,201 --> 00:34:18,201 to kind of jump back the fair 763 00:34:18,201 --> 00:34:20,201 revitalization committee has provided 764 00:34:20,201 --> 00:34:23,201 staff -- a lot of advice. 765 00:34:23,201 --> 00:34:25,201 your board allocated 200 hundred 766 00:34:25,201 --> 00:34:27,141 thousand dollars for fair ground repairs 767 00:34:27,141 --> 00:34:28,141 last year. 768 00:34:28,141 --> 00:34:29,141 we've done a lot of brainstorming about 769 00:34:29,141 --> 00:34:32,141 what are the best ways to employ the 770 00:34:32,141 --> 00:34:33,141 dollars. 771 00:34:33,141 --> 00:34:36,141 partnering with local boy scout troops 772 00:34:36,141 --> 00:34:39,141 and the northern california training 773 00:34:40,141 --> 00:34:42,141 group and we made a lot of repairs 774 00:34:42,141 --> 00:34:43,141 before the fair this year. 775 00:34:43,141 --> 00:34:45,141 this year with the fairgrounds 776 00:34:45,141 --> 00:34:48,141 revitalization committee focused on were 777

780 00:34:57,141 --> 00:34:58,141 the fairgrounds. 781 00:34:58,141 --> 00:35:01,141 the purpose is to promote our youth and 782 00:35:01,141 --> 00:35:03,141 positive values. 783 00:35:03,141 --> 00:35:04,141 work ethic. 784 00:35:04,141 --> 00:35:06,141 building connections and understanding, 785 00:35:06,141 --> 00:35:09,141 voluntaryism in our community and 786 00:35:09,141 --> 00:35:12,141 provide stimulation for the minds. 787 00:35:13,141 --> 00:35:17,341 there are values that are, you know, 788 00:35:18,141 --> 00:35:20,541 endorsed by us all. 789 00:35:22,141 --> 00:35:25,141 identity needs to be authentic and 790 00:35:25,141 --> 00:35:26,141 quality. 791 00:35:26,141 --> 00:35:27,810 we need to bring the quality up in 792 00:35:27,810 --> 00:35:29,481 attitudes and in facilities. 793 00:35:30,810 --> 00:35:32,810 they talked about different concepts and 794 00:35:32,810 --> 00:35:33,810 how could you do that. 795 00:35:33,810 --> 00:35:35,810 what are the existing uses on site that 796 00:35:35,810 --> 00:35:37,810 can further emphasize community. 797 00:35:37,810 --> 00:35:39,810 I talked about the size of jones and 798 00:35:39,810 --> 00:35:40,810 johnson hall. 799 00:35:40,810 --> 00:35:42,810 there are lots of community 800 00:35:42,810 --> 00:35:45,810 organizations that rely on those. 801 00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:47,810 folks have weddings out there. 802 00:35:47,810 --> 00:35:49,810 the revitalization committee wants those 803 00:35:49,810 --> 00:35:50,810 opportunities to continue. 804 00:35:50,810 --> 00:35:52,810 looking ahead, what is the vision. 805 00:35:52,810 --> 00:35:55,810 what are some of the things like 806 00:35:55,810 --> 00:35:58,810 culinary common demonstrations, an urban 807 00:35:58,810 --> 00:36:01,810 farm and local festivals surrounding the 808 00:36:01,810 --> 00:36:04,810 agricultural products that can draw 809 00:36:04,810 --> 00:36:05,810 people to the site. 810 00:36:05,810 --> 00:36:08,810 one of the challenges that this air 811 00:36:08,810 --> 00:36:10,810 particularly faces is that you look at a 812 00:36:10,810 --> 00:36:14,810 25-mile radius, you have the state fair 813 00:36:14,810 --> 00:36:15,810 and yellow fair. 814 00:36:15,810 --> 00:36:17,810 nevada county fair. 815 00:36:19,810 --> 00:36:21,481 six flags further away. 816 00:36:22,810 --> 00:36:24,810 how can you draw people to this site? 817 00:36:24,810 --> 00:36:26,810 the fairgrounds committee believes it's 818 00:36:26,810 --> 00:36:30,210 the authentic vision they want to drive. 819 00:36:30,210 --> 00:36:32,210 they had some difficult discussions 820 00:36:32,210 --> 00:36:35,210 looking at the opportunities that rch 821 00:36:35,210 --> 00:36:37,210 put forward, the one that nobody likes 822 00:36:37,210 --> 00:36:39,210 to talk about is so close the fair 823 00:36:39,210 --> 00:36:40,210 grounds. 824 00:36:40,210 --> 00:36:42,210 it has benefits. 825 00:36:44,210 --> 00:36:46,210 if the property were we purposed, there 826 00:36:46,210 --> 00:36:48,210 would be profit from sales from that. 827 00:36:48,210 --> 00:36:50,210 but would the fair continue or not? 828 00:36:50,210 --> 00:36:52,210 the

--> 00:51:04,301 we believe this proposal will continue 1167 00:51:04,301 --> 00:51:05,301 to strengthen that position while at the 1168 00:51:05,301 --> 00:51:08,301 same time provide a phenomenal resource 1169 00:51:08,301 --> 00:51:11,301 for which all of our citizens can be 1170 00:51:11,301 --> 00:51:12,301 proud. 1171 00:51:12,301 --> 00:51:15,301 to that and, players valley tourism 1172 00:51:15,301 --> 00:51:17,301 hired people to do the designs as you 1173 00:51:17,301 --> 00:51:21,501 saw today to help us conceptualize what 1174 00:51:23,301 --> 00:51:27,241 an overall site plan may look like. 1175 00:51:27,241 --> 00:51:29,241 it would establish or maintain what we 1176 00:51:29,241 --> 00:51:32,241 call a "placer place" home for events, 1177 00:51:32,241 --> 00:51:34,241 fairs, meetings, festivals and 1178 00:51:34,241 --> 00:51:36,241 tournaments that enrich the lives of our 1179 00:51:36,241 --> 00:51:38,641 county residents creating community. 1180 00:51:39,241 --> 00:51:41,241 and driving economic development and 1181 00:51:41,241 --> 00:51:42,241 impact. 1182 00:51:42,241 --> 00:51:46,241 unique site as mark put it out, 65% of 1183 00:51:46,241 --> 00:51:48,241 the placer county residents within 1184 00:51:48,241 --> 00:51:49,241 10 miles of this site. 1185 00:51:49,241 --> 00:51:53,241 this number only grows as our county 1186 00:51:53,241 --> 00:51:54,241 continues to grow. 1187 00:51:54,241 --> 00:51:56,241 the major components are one, be a good 1188 00:51:56,241 --> 00:51:57,241 neighbor. 1189 00:51:57,241 --> 00:52:00,241 this entailing significant cleanup which 1190 00:52:00,241 --> 00:52:02,241 you've seen. 1191 00:52:02,241 --> 00:52:05,241 removing traffic land, reduces the 1192 00:52:05,241 --> 00:52:08,241 impact of egress and parking on the 1193 00:52:08,241 --> 00:52:09,241 local neighborhood. 1194 00:52:09,241 --> 00:52:11,241 improvements to sound and light 1195 00:52:11,241 --> 00:52:12,241 containment. 1196 00:52:12,241 --> 00:52:14,241 these are important issues and since I 1197 00:52:14,241 --> 00:52:17,241 live blocks away from the site, I 1198 00:52:17,241 --> 00:52:20,241 recognize how critical they are to our 1199 00:52:20,241 --> 00:52:21,241 neighborhoods. 1200 00:52:21,241 --> 00:52:24,841 second, the fair board and other 1201 00:52:25,241 --> 00:52:28,241 committed parties are creating a 1202 00:52:29,181 --> 00:52:32,181 argument-focused fair that continues to 1203 00:52:32,181 --> 00:52:35,781 attract residents and visitors to enjoy 1204 00:52:36,181 --> 00:52:38,181 the heritage and future of players 1205 00:52:38,181 --> 00:52:40,181 county. 1206 00:52:40,181 --> 00:52:43,181 the creation of a new 125,000 square 1207 00:52:43,181 --> 00:52:46,781 foot event center along with meeting 1208 00:52:47,181 --> 00:52:48,181 spaces and the raceway. 1209 00:52:48,181 --> 00:52:51,181 this will be a catalyst for the 1210 00:52:51,181 --> 00:52:54,181 revitalization of the site making it 1211 00:52:54,181 --> 00:52:56,181 ideal to suit the needs of our growing 1212 00:52:56,181 --> 00:52:57,181 county. 1213 00:52:57,181 --> 00:52:59,181 perfect for indoor sport tournaments, 1214 00:52:59,181 --> 00:53:01,181 meetings, trade shows and more. 1215 00:53:01,181 --> 00:53:04,181 along with the modernizations asphalt 1216 00:53:05,181 --> 00:53:08,181 will be removed to create a less 1217 00:53:08,181 --> 00:53:10,181 vehicular campus. 1218 00:53:11,181 --> 00:53:14,181 the players place will be ideally suited 1219 00:53:14,181 --> 00:53:16,181 to meet the needs whether it's racing, 1220 00:53:16,181 --> 00:53:18,581 festivals, concerts, circuses meetings 1221 00:53:21,181 --> 00:53:23,181 and most importantly our fair. 1222 00:53:23,181 --> 00:53:26,181 working with the racing series. 1223 00:53:28,121 --> 00:53:33,121 there could be few -- would be fewer for 1224 00:53:33,121 --> 00:53:34,121 better events. 1225 00:53:34,121 --> 00:53:36,121 we've been researching our capacity and 1226 00:53:36,121 --> 00:53:39,121 worked with our financial adviser to 1227 00:53:39,121 --> 00:53:41,121 ensure that we have the capabilities of 1228 00:53:41,121 --> 00:53:44,121 obtaining at least $30 million in bond 1229 00:53:44,121 --> 00:53:46,121 proceeds. 1230 00:53:48,121 --> 00:53:51,121 equally important, none of the land, 1231 00:53:51,121 --> 00:53:54,121 buildings or over improvements are used 1232 00:53:54,121 --> 00:53:55,121 as collateral. 1233 00:53:55,121 --> 00:53:57,121 our assessment flow is used for 1234 00:53:57,121 --> 00:53:58,121 collateral for the bond structures. 1235 00:53:58,121 --> 00:54:01,121 economic impact mark laid out to you. 1236 00:54:01,121 --> 00:54:03,121 it's strong over the course of time 1237 00:54:03,121 --> 00:54:04,121 period. 1238 00:54:04,121 --> 00:54:06,121 it will certainly add to the enhancement 1239 00:54:06,121 --> 00:54:09,121 of our community and values. 1240 00:54:09,121 --> 00:54:12,121 while we don't know the entire impact of 1241 00:54:12,121 --> 00:54:16,121 the site in terms of economics, we know 1242 00:54:16,121 --> 00:54:19,121 it's estimated to bring $369 million 1243 00:54:19,121 --> 00:54:21,121 over 20 years. 1244 00:54:22,121 --> 00:54:24,121 new earnings are projected to be 1245 00:54:24,121 --> 00:54:26,610 $106 million over the same period 1246 00:54:26,610 --> 00:54:28,610 supporting 308 full-time equivalencies. 1247 00:54:30,610 --> 00:54:33,610 the instruction impact entails more than 1248 00:54:33,610 --> 00:54:36,610 $11 million and from local materials 1249 00:54:37,610 --> 00:54:39,610 spent as well as the $11 million in 1250 00:54:39,610 --> 00:54:41,610 spending from earnings as well as 70 1251 00:54:41,610 --> 00:54:43,610 construction jobs. 1252 00:54:43,610 --> 00:54:45,610 as we all know, there is much more work 1253 00:54:45,610 --> 00:54:47,610 to be done if we're going to bring this 1254 00:54:47,610 --> 00:54:49,610 vision to reality. 1255 00:54:49,610 --> 00:54:52,610 we're requesting the opportunity to work 1256 00:54:52,610 --> 00:54:56,610 with staff to quickly define the details 1257

--> 00:55:55,100 of the amount of time they're used to 1275 00:55:55,100 --> 00:55:56,100 working on this. 1276 00:55:56,100 --> 00:55:58,100 I truly believe this will be a 1277 00:55:58,100 --> 00:56:01,100 remarkable addition to placer county. 1278 00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:03,100 thank you for the opportunity. 1279 00:56:03,100 --> 00:56:05,100 >> supervisor weygandt: thank you. 1280

00:56:25,100 facilities, knowing that our placer 1287 00:56:25,100 --> 00:56:28,941 county clerk registrar of voters also a 1288 00:56:28,941 --> 00:56:30,941 member of the fair board and he's 1289 00:56:30,941 --> 00:56:33,941 looking for a warehouse, think we could 1290 00:56:33,941 --> 00:56:36,341 sneak one on here? 1291 00:56:37,941 --> 00:56:41,541 no, it's close to his house. 1292 00:56:43,941 --> 00:56:46,941 I -- I had the chance to meet with david 1293 00:56:46,941 --> 00:56:50,941 and wendy and I want to thank wendy for 1294 00:56:50,941 --> 00:56:53,941 her help in facilitating a number of 1295 00:56:53,941 --> 00:56:54,941 conversations. 1296 00:56:54,941 --> 00:56:57,941 as the former fair board member myself, 1297 00:56:57,941 --> 00:57:00,941 my attitude about this has long been 1298 00:57:00,941 --> 00:57:04,941 let's either be all in or all out. 1299 00:57:04,941 --> 00:57:07,941 liked this limp ago long that we've been 1300 00:57:07,941 --> 00:57:10,941 doing -- limping along that we've been 1301 00:57:10,941 --> 00:57:11,941 doing. 1302 00:57:11,941 --> 00:57:13,941 I had thoughts about a different 1303 00:57:13,941 --> 00:57:15,941 location, but with a partner like this 1304 00:57:15,941 --> 00:57:17,941 that is willing to come forward and 1305 00:57:17,941 --> 00:57:21,541 invest a significant amount of capital 1306 00:57:23,941 --> 00:57:27,881 in ungrading that facility in terms of 1307 00:57:27,881 --> 00:57:30,881 working with the neighbors to reduce the 1308 00:57:30,881 --> 00:57:33,881 impacts, primarily of the racing, maybe 1309 00:57:33,881 --> 00:57:38,681 fewer races but those races that we have 1310 00:57:38,881 --> 00:57:41,881 being of a grander statue. 1311 00:57:41,881 --> 00:57:43,881 I'm -- stature. 1312 00:57:44,881 --> 00:57:47,881 I'm thrill with this opportunity and I 1313 00:57:47,881 --> 00:57:49,881 appreciate not only david bringing this 1314 00:57:49,881 --> 00:57:51,881 forward, but the way the fair 1315 00:57:51,881 --> 00:57:54,281 revitalization committee has embraced 1316 00:57:54,881 --> 00:57:58,881 this idea and is encouraging us to take 1317 00:57:58,881 --> 00:58:01,881 a deeper look at it and the fair board 1318 00:58:01,881 --> 00:58:05,881 itself because as a former member of the 1319 00:58:05,881 --> 00:58:08,881 fair board, we can be territorial about 1320 00:58:08,881 --> 00:58:09,881 our fairgrounds. 1321 00:58:09,881 --> 00:58:14,681 yet, I think and I don't pretend to 1322 00:58:15,881 --> 00:58:17,881 speak for the president of the fair 1323 00:58:17,881 --> 00:58:18,881 board right now, but I think they 1324 00:58:18,881 --> 00:58:21,881 realize this is a great opportunity to 1325 00:58:21,881 --> 00:58:23,881 keep the fair going in a location that 1326 00:58:23,881 --> 00:58:26,821 is central within the county and we know 1327 00:58:26,821 --> 00:58:30,821 that with the ancillary uses going on 1328 00:58:30,821 --> 00:58:32,821 throughout the year provide that stable 1329 00:58:32,821 --> 00:58:35,821 platform for the fair to be able to 1330 00:58:35,821 --> 00:58:38,821 continue in perpetuity in this location. 1331 00:58:38,821 --> 00:58:41,821 I want to say thank you for getting us 1332 00:58:41,821 --> 00:58:42,821 to this point. 1333 00:58:42,821 --> 00:58:47,210 >> I echo the words of supervisor uhler. 1334 00:58:51,821 --> 00:58:53,821 the fairgrounds has been challenging 1335 00:58:53,821 --> 00:58:55,821 since I came on to the board of 1336 00:58:55,821 --> 00:58:57,821 supervisors in 2010. 1337 00:58:57,821 --> 00:59:00,221 or actually beginning of 2011. 1338 00:59:00,821 --> 00:59:03,821 I think we've done quite a bit of work 1339 00:59:03,821 --> 00:59:06,821 to alleviate a lot of the noise 1340 00:59:06,821 --> 00:59:07,821 concerns. 1341 00:59:07,821 --> 00:59:08,821 I know one of the first things we did in 1342 00:59:08,821 --> 00:59:10,821 2011 was have a forum where we brought 1343 00:59:10,821 --> 00:59:12,821 the neighbors together along with the 1344 00:59:12,821 --> 00:59:15,821 racing folks to kind of talk through 1345 00:59:15,821 --> 00:59:18,821 some of the issues that were happening. 1346 00:59:18,821 --> 00:59:20,821 and moving forward from that, this will 1347 00:59:20,821 --> 00:59:23,821 is a very unique opportunity because it 1348 00:59:23,821 --> 00:59:25,761 comes from the community. 1349 00:59:25,761 --> 00:59:28,761 it's something that all of the folks 1350 00:59:28,761 --> 00:59:30,761 that have been utilizing the fairgrounds 1351 00:59:30,761 --> 00:59:34,961 and have vision for the fairgrounds to 1352 00:59:37,761 --> 00:59:39,761 take it in a different direction. 1353 00:59:39,761 --> 00:59:41,761 it doesn't mean we can't do other things 1354 00:59:41,761 --> 00:59:42,761 outside in different areas. 1355 00:59:42,761 --> 00:59:44,761 but this is the type of opportunity that 1356 00:59:44,761 --> 00:59:47,761 we need to look into and see what that 1357 00:59:47,761 --> 00:59:49,761 potential could be. 1358 00:59:49,761 --> 00:59:50,761 I know that they've scratched the 1359 00:59:50,761 --> 00:59:54,761 surface of what the potential of the 1360 00:59:54,761 --> 00:59:56,761 fairgrounds is. 1361 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:03,761 and I think with a little bit more work 1362 01:00:03,761 --> 01:00:06,761 in collaboration between the interested 1363 01:00:06,761 --> 01:00:08,761 parties and our community, the groups as 1364 01:00:08,761 --> 01:00:11,761 well as the county and the city and 1365 01:00:11,761 --> 01:00:13,761 players valley tourism and other 1366 01:00:13,761 --> 01:00:15,761 interested parties, it could be 1367 01:00:15,761 --> 01:00:17,761 something that we can all be proud of. 1368 01:00:17,761 --> 01:00:21,761 so I'd be very supportive of taking a 1369 01:00:21,761 --> 01:00:23,761 look at what the possibilities could be. 1370 01:00:23,761 --> 01:00:26,761 >>

01:00:38,761 I think we've all struggled with what 1374 01:00:38,761 --> 01:00:40,761 the future of the fairgrounds would like 1375 01:00:40,761 --> 01:00:43,761 and the committee has come up working

gee, if they want to come up 2274 01:42:02,541 --> 01:42:06,741 here, it's going to be a boondoggle 2275 01:42:08,541 --> 01:42:10,541 problem driving up to this. 2276 01:42:10,541 --> 01:42:15,341 as bad enough if you drive through you 2277 01:42:15,541 --> 01:42:17,541 want it to be nice up here. 2278 01:42:17,541 --> 01:42:20,541 how do we make an impact this is not the 2279 01:42:20,541 --> 01:42:21,541 right thing do? 2280 01:42:21,541 --> 01:42:23,541 >> state your name. 2281 01:42:26,541 --> 01:42:28,541 >> trish hunstock. 2282 01:42:35,481 --> 01:42:38,481 >> supervisor weygandt: people like us 2283 01:42:39,481 --> 01:42:40,481 are voted to make the decisions. 2284 01:42:40,481 --> 01:42:44,481 we vote our conscience, but the key 2285 01:42:44,481 --> 01:42:47,481 point is we had over five hours of 2286 01:42:47,481 --> 01:42:48,481 public comment. 2287 01:42:48,481 --> 01:42:50,481 they were well-taken. 2288 01:42:50,481 --> 01:42:53,481 the board is going to restrict this 2289 01:42:53,481 --> 01:42:55,481 public comment to new information that 2290 01:42:55,481 --> 01:42:58,481 has not yet been heard. 2291 01:42:58,481 --> 01:42:59,481 thank you for your comments. 2292 01:42:59,481 --> 01:43:03,681 I appreciate it if future speakers would 2293 01:43:05,481 --> 01:43:06,481 accommodate that. 2294 01:43:06,481 --> 01:43:09,481 >> I'm alex aler of preservation. 2295 01:43:10,481 --> 01:43:12,481 I want to say that the findings in the 2296 01:43:12,481 --> 01:43:16,810 staff report are not substantiated by 2297 01:43:16,481 --> 01:43:17,481 facts. 2298 01:43:17,481 --> 01:43:19,481 they're not outweighed by the benefits. 2299 01:43:19,481 --> 01:43:21,481 you made your approval based on the 2300 01:43:21,481 --> 01:43:23,481 project having real meaningful 2301 01:43:23,481 --> 01:43:24,481 conservation. 2302 01:43:24,481 --> 01:43:26,481 this is what brought many of us to the 2303 01:43:26,481 --> 01:43:27,481 table over 10 years ago. 2304 01:43:27,481 --> 01:43:31,810 more recently, the land trust partners 2305 01:43:31,421 --> 01:43:34,421 did submit a letter to the supervisors 2306 01:43:34,421 --> 01:43:35,421 outlining that the project won't have 2307 01:43:35,421 --> 01:43:37,421 meaningful conservation. 2308 01:43:37,421 --> 01:43:39,421 they will not be purchasing the 2309 01:43:39,421 --> 01:43:40,421 property. 2310 01:43:40,421 --> 01:43:41,421 now we're looking at limited 2311 01:43:41,421 --> 01:43:43,421 conservation easement to be held by 2312 01:43:43,421 --> 01:43:45,421 maybe another entity or landowner as is 2313 01:43:45,421 --> 01:43:47,421 today. 2314 01:43:47,421 --> 01:43:48,421 I think that is important. 2315 01:43:48,421 --> 01:43:50,421 I think that changes some things with 2316 01:43:50,421 --> 01:43:52,821 your decision making power. 2317 01:43:53,421 --> 01:43:55,421 also, the number of outlined issues that 2318 01:43:55,421 --> 01:43:57,421 ellie brought up in the development 2319 01:43:57,421 --> 01:43:58,421 agreement. 2320 01:43:58,421 --> 01:44:00,421 but the plan doesn't ensure proper 2321 01:44:00,421 --> 01:44:02,421 analysis for mitigation to address the 2322 01:44:02,421 --> 01:44:04,421 specific plan impact. 2323 01:44:04,421 --> 01:44:06,421 we've continued to state that the e.I.r. 2324 01:44:06,421 --> 01:44:10,421 is also not complying with ceqa and 2325 01:44:10,421 --> 01:44:12,421 threatens the well-being of the 2326 01:44:12,421 --> 01:44:14,421 community in truckee and north lake 2327 01:44:14,421 --> 01:44:16,421 tahoe. 2328 01:44:16,421 --> 01:44:18,421 when I asked to speak this morning, I 2329 01:44:18,421 --> 01:44:21,421 brought up the life safety report 2330 01:44:21,421 --> 01:44:23,821 released on september 25th, 2016. 2331 01:44:25,421 --> 01:44:28,361 sierra watch attached it to the last 2332 01:44:28,361 --> 01:44:29,361 letter we sent you. 2333 01:44:29,361 --> 01:44:31,361 wildfire is still an issue with this 2334 01:44:31,361 --> 01:44:32,361 project. 2335 01:44:32,361 --> 01:44:34,361 we have little assurance on how to 2336 01:44:34,361 --> 01:44:35,361 address wildfire safety. 2337 01:44:35,361 --> 01:44:38,361 the homewood settlement couldn't make a 2338 01:44:38,361 --> 01:44:40,361 finding on non-exacerbating. 2339 01:44:49,361 --> 01:44:51,361 they now need new staff and equipment. 2340 01:44:51,361 --> 01:44:54,361 it would be negligent of the project to 2341 01:44:54,361 --> 01:44:56,361 be approved knowing the lack of 2342 01:44:56,361 --> 01:44:59,361 additional mitigation proposed by the 2343 01:44:59,361 --> 01:45:00,361 project. 2344 01:45:00,361 --> 01:45:03,361 this will probably likely provide a path 2345 01:45:03,361 --> 01:45:05,361 forward to mitigate future development. 2346 01:45:05,361 --> 01:45:08,361 that's an issue we need to deal with 2347 01:45:08,361 --> 01:45:10,361 prior to the project being approved. 2348 01:45:10,361 --> 01:45:12,361 we've continued to outline issues and 2349 01:45:12,361 --> 01:45:13,361 concerns. 2350 01:45:13,361 --> 01:45:15,361 we've demonstrated that in our letters. 2351 01:45:15,361 --> 01:45:19,361 but we do ask you to take these issues 2352 01:45:19,361 --> 01:45:21,361 into account today. 2353 01:45:22,361 --> 01:45:25,361 delay, approval until further analysis 2354 01:45:25,361 --> 01:45:28,961 and feasible mitigation can be applied 2355 01:45:29,301 --> 01:45:31,301 to the project that tips the scales such 2356 01:45:31,301 --> 01:45:35,301 as martis valley west and we continue to 2357 01:45:35,301 --> 01:45:36,301 oppose the project. 2358 01:45:36,301 --> 01:45:37,301 thank you. 2359 01:45:37,301 --> 01:45:38,301 >> supervisor weygandt: thank you. 2360 01:45:38,301 --> 01:45:39,301 anyone else? 2361 01:45:39,301 --> 01:45:42,901 >> good morning, I'm nicky ryley, I'm 2362 01:45:44,301 --> 01:45:47,301 development director for mayor stan area 2363 01:45:47,301 --> 01:45:48,301 preservation. 2364 01:45:48,301 --> 01:45:50,301 I know you are in receipt of a letter 2365 01:45:50,301 --> 01:45:53,301 from perry norris highlighting their 2366 01:45:54,301 --> 01:45:56,301 inability to raise money and raise the 2367 01:45:56,301 --> 01:45:58,301 funds and fully move forward as part of 2368 01:45:58,301 --> 01:46:01,301 this proposal would have entailed to 2369 01:46:01,301 --> 01:46:05,301 purchase the land and preserve it in 2370 01:46:05,301 --> 01:46:06,301 conservation which would create the 2371 01:46:06,301 --> 01:46:10,301 benefits of which this proposal is based 2372 01:46:10,301 --> 01:46:13,301 on and the environmental review focused 2373 01:46:13,301 --> 01:46:14,301 as the mitigation. 2374 01:46:14,301 --> 01:46:16,301 this was based on a negotiation years in 2375 01:46:16,301 --> 01:46:18,301 the process. 2376 01:46:19,301 --> 01:46:21,301 six parties at the table during the 2377 01:46:21,301 --> 01:46:23,301 martis valley opportunity agreement and 2378 01:46:23,301 --> 01:46:26,301 work four of these parties are opposed 2379 01:46:26,301 --> 01:46:28,241 or not willing to move forward with the 2380 01:46:28,241 --> 01:46:29,241 project as proposed. 2381 01:46:29,241 --> 01:46:31,241 I think this speaks volumes. 2382 01:46:31,241 --> 01:46:33,241 I think all of you need to consider that 2383 01:46:33,241 --> 01:46:35,241 today as you consider what you're 2384 01:46:35,241 --> 01:46:37,241 looking at and whether or not you're 2385 01:46:37,241 --> 01:46:39,241 making the same proposal or issuing an 2386 01:46:39,241 --> 01:46:41,241 approval as you did in september. 2387 01:46:41,241 --> 01:46:43,241 things are not as you may have once 2388 01:46:43,241 --> 01:46:44,241 thought. 2389 01:46:44,241 --> 01:46:48,241 there is no moving for conservation for 2390 01:46:48,241 --> 01:46:50,241 this deal and no public access 2391 01:46:50,241 --> 01:46:52,241 guaranteed with the approval of the 2392 01:46:52,241 --> 01:46:53,241 prompt. 2393 01:46:53,241 --> 01:46:55,241 the land likely on the east side of 267 2394 01:46:55,241 --> 01:46:57,241 would remain in the hands of sierra 2395 01:46:57,241 --> 01:46:58,241 pacific industries. 2396 01:46:58,241 --> 01:47:01,241 mountain side would be able to develop a 2397 01:47:01,241 --> 01:47:04,241 terrain not suitable for development and 2398 01:47:04,241 --> 01:47:06,241 everyone else including the environment, 2399 01:47:06,241 --> 01:47:09,241 land and people are the losers. 2400 01:47:09,241 --> 01:47:11,241 please reconsider this decision from 2401 01:47:11,241 --> 01:47:12,241 september and support the planning 2402 01:47:12,241 --> 01:47:13,241 commission. 2403 01:47:13,241 --> 01:47:14,241 thank you for your time. 2404 01:47:14,241 --> 01:47:17,241 >> my name is tom morse. 2405 01:47:27,241 --> 01:47:30,841 I'm executive director of sierra match. 2406 01:47:32,181 --> 01:47:35,181 I did bring a copy of the aforementioned 2407 01:47:35,181 --> 01:47:36,181 letter from the land trust. 2408 01:47:36,181 --> 01:47:39,181 if I could hand that to somebody. 2409 01:47:39,181 --> 01:47:42,181 the letter makes it painfully clear 2410 01:47:42,181 --> 01:47:44,181 there is no deal purchase the east side 2411 01:47:44,181 --> 01:47:46,181 at this time. 2412 01:47:46,181 --> 01:47:49,181 I think there are a lot of big picture 2413 01:47:49,181 --> 01:47:50,181 issues that need to be addressed. 2414 01:47:50,181 --> 01:47:53,181 many of which were hammered out by the 2415 01:47:53,181 --> 01:47:55,181 plans commission including impacts on 2416 01:47:55,181 --> 01:47:57,181 traffic and fire safety and impacts on 2417 01:47:57,181 --> 01:47:59,181 lake tahoe whether or not we can agree 2418 01:47:59,181 --> 01:48:01,181 on those, I think we can agree there is 2419 01:48:01,181 --> 01:48:03,181 a lot of new information that's been 2420 01:48:03,181 --> 01:48:05,181 coming fast and furious in the last 2421 01:48:05,181 --> 01:48:08,181 hearing and then this hearing today and 2422 01:48:08,181 --> 01:48:11,781 the common sense and prudence would 2423 01:48:12,181 --> 01:48:15,181 dictate we'd all slowdown and better 2424 01:48:15,181 --> 01:48:17,181 understand the new information and even 2425 01:48:17,181 --> 01:48:19,181 have a better opportunity to come back 2426 01:48:19,181 --> 01:48:21,181 to the table to see if an agreement can 2427 01:48:21,181 --> 01:48:22,181 be worked out. 2428 01:48:22,181 --> 01:48:24,181 my recommendation today is if you 2429 01:48:24,181 --> 01:48:27,181 consider continuing the item so we can 2430 01:48:27,181 --> 01:48:28,121 better understand the project and 2431 01:48:28,121 --> 01:48:30,121 hopefully reach some long term agreement 2432 01:48:30,121 --> 01:48:31,121 on it too. 2433 01:48:31,121 --> 01:48:32,121 thank you. 2434 01:48:32,121 --> 01:48:33,121 >> anyone else? 2435 01:48:33,121 --> 01:48:37,121 is there anyone up in

allowing $100,000 per mitigated unit 2457 01:49:36,610 --> 01:49:39,610 would build anything substantial for 2458 01:49:41,610 --> 01:49:43,610 anyone to live in. 2459 01:49:43,610 --> 01:49:48,610

01:50:25,610 opposition to what is going on with this 2472 01:50:25,610 --> 01:50:27,610 board of supervisors if there weren't so 2473 01:50:27,610 --> 01:50:30,610 many projects being fast tracked. 2474 01:50:30,610 --> 01:50:33,610 I got back from denver yesterday. 2475 01:50:33,610 --> 01:50:35,610 and their community has actually filed 2476 01:50:35,610 --> 01:50:37,461 injunctions, moratorium against rezones 2477 01:50:40,610 --> 01:50:43,610 against any type of use permit because 2478 01:50:43,610 --> 01:50:45,610 they felt that things were getting out 2479 01:50:45,610 --> 01:50:46,610 of control. 2480 01:50:46,610 --> 01:50:49,610 there are 16 projects in the pipeline. 2481 01:50:49,610 --> 01:50:53,610 they are being almost offered as a fire 2482 01:50:53,610 --> 01:50:54,610 sale. 2483 01:50:54,610 --> 01:50:57,610 that is opening the door to anyone who 2484 01:50:57,610 --> 01:51:02,610 is wanting to grab a piece of the pie. 2485 01:51:02,610 --> 01:51:05,610 and I think that if this goes forward, 2486 01:51:05,610 --> 01:51:08,610 the people who are concerned about our 2487 01:51:08,610 --> 01:51:11,610 concerns falling on deaf ears should 2488 01:51:11,610 --> 01:51:13,610 consider opening up an investigation as 2489 01:51:13,610 --> 01:51:16,610 to who is benefiting from this project 2490 01:51:16,610 --> 01:51:18,610 being approved over the objections of 2491 01:51:18,610 --> 01:51:19,610 the planning commission. 2492 01:51:19,610 --> 01:51:21,610 >> any other speakers? 2493 01:51:32,100 --> 01:51:34,100 make your comments specific to new 2494 01:51:34,100 --> 01:51:35,100 information. 2495 01:51:35,100 --> 01:51:37,100 >> absolutely. 2496 01:51:37,100 --> 01:51:40,100 I'm friends of the north american river 2497 01:51:40,100 --> 01:51:43,100 group, my name is michael. 2498 01:51:43,100 --> 01:51:45,100 I want to address the east parcel 2499 01:51:45,100 --> 01:51:47,100 conservation proposal. 2500 01:51:47,100 --> 01:51:49,100 I believe that any land trusts or 2501 01:51:49,100 --> 01:51:51,100 conservancy that gets involved in 2502 01:51:51,100 --> 01:51:54,100 purchasing for fee or donated easement 2503 01:51:54,100 --> 01:51:57,100 conservation easement in any way, I 2504 01:51:57,100 --> 01:51:59,100 believe they cannot do that because of 2505 01:51:59,100 --> 01:52:02,100 the internal revenue code section 178 2506 01:52:03,100 --> 01:52:06,100 that defines the conservation purpose of 2507 01:52:06,100 --> 01:52:08,401 these kinds of transactions. 2508 01:52:09,100 --> 01:52:13,201 170-h does not permit the destruction of 2509 01:52:15,100 --> 01:52:18,100 conservation value on one property for 2510 01:52:18,100 --> 01:52:20,100 the purpose of protecting another 2511 01:52:20,100 --> 01:52:21,100 parcel. 2512 01:52:21,100 --> 01:52:24,100 it's problematic, especially for an 2513 01:52:24,100 --> 01:52:26,100 accredited land trust to do that. 2514 01:52:26,100 --> 01:52:29,941 if spi expects to get some value out of 2515 01:52:29,941 --> 01:52:34,141 this -- they have the same 170-h 2516 01:52:34,941 --> 01:52:35,941 obstacle. 2517 01:52:35,941 --> 01:52:39,941 second, the plan itself has a very 2518 01:52:39,941 --> 01:52:41,941 bizarre and unusual planning process 2519 01:52:41,941 --> 01:52:43,941 built into it. 2520 01:52:44,941 --> 01:52:46,941 even the development agreement has a 2521 01:52:46,941 --> 01:52:50,941 role, a key role for the county exec. 2522 01:52:50,941 --> 01:52:53,941 the specific plan has a strong county 2523 01:52:53,941 --> 01:52:54,941 exec role. 2524 01:52:54,941 --> 01:52:57,941 so different from the normal planning 2525 01:52:57,941 --> 01:52:59,941 process that it creates an island sort 2526 01:52:59,941 --> 01:53:01,941 of special planning process proceeders. 2527 01:53:01,941 --> 01:53:05,941 I hate to see the county vulcanized into 2528 01:53:05,941 --> 01:53:08,941 the different mechanisms that depart 2529 01:53:08,941 --> 01:53:10,941 from the normal way and I think you 2530 01:53:10,941 --> 01:53:13,941 should be relooking at that and seeing 2531 01:53:13,941 --> 01:53:16,941 what kind of a potential problem you're 2532 01:53:16,941 --> 01:53:17,941 creating for consistency in planning 2533 01:53:17,941 --> 01:53:19,941 around the county. 2534 01:53:19,941 --> 01:53:20,941 thank you. 2535 01:53:20,941 --> 01:53:23,941 >> supervisor weygandt: are there any 2536 01:53:23,941 --> 01:53:25,941 other speakers? 2537 01:53:25,941 --> 01:53:26,941 >> yes. 2538 01:53:26,941 --> 01:53:29,341 >> supervisor weygandt: state your 2539 01:53:31,881 --> 01:53:32,881 name for the record. 2540 01:53:32,881 --> 01:53:36,881 >> mila borhany on the bay in placer 2541 01:53:36,881 --> 01:53:37,881 county. 2542 01:53:37,881 --> 01:53:40,281 I'm a year-round resident. 2543 01:53:42,881 --> 01:53:44,881 good morning supervisor montgomery and 2544 01:53:44,881 --> 01:53:47,281 fellow supervisors and chairman. 2545 01:53:48,881 --> 01:53:50,881 I was unable to attend the 2546 01:53:50,881 --> 01:53:52,881 september 13th meeting as I was out of 2547 01:53:52,881 --> 01:53:55,881 town with family and extremely 2548 01:53:55,881 --> 01:53:57,881 disappointed to hear of your tentative 2549 01:53:57,881 --> 01:53:59,881 vote of approval at the time especially 2550 01:53:59,881 --> 01:54:02,281 given the planning commissions 2551 01:54:02,881 --> 01:54:04,881 recommendation that you deny the project 2552 01:54:04,881 --> 01:54:08,881 for the many obvious flaws in the e.I.r. 2553 01:54:08,881 --> 01:54:11,881 and or aspects including affordable 2554 01:54:11,881 --> 01:54:12,881 housing. 2555 01:54:12,881 --> 01:54:14,881 at this point, to reiterate what a 2556 01:54:14,881 --> 01:54:15,881 previous speaker mentioned, I have a 2557 01:54:15,881 --> 01:54:18,881 right as a citizen to say it that your 2558 01:54:18,881 --> 01:54:21,881 process and documentation must be done 2559 01:54:21,881 --> 01:54:23,881 correctly, everything -- everything 2560 01:54:23,881 --> 01:54:26,881 about this project and the other big 2561 01:54:26,881 --> 01:54:29,821 projects in the pipeline that the 2562 01:54:29,821 --> 01:54:31,821 previous speaker mentioned, the 16 2563 01:54:31,821 --> 01:54:34,821 projects has been way too fast-tracked 2564 01:54:34,821 --> 01:54:37,821 and it does not feel to quote your words 2565 01:54:37,821 --> 01:54:40,821 back to you, chairman weygandt, that the 2566 01:54:40,821 --> 01:54:43,821 conscience of the people of this part of 2567 01:54:43,821 --> 01:54:46,821 this county that will you are honoring 2568 01:54:46,821 --> 01:54:48,821 that or respecting it. 2569 01:54:48,821 --> 01:54:50,821 our will has been made clear in our 2570 01:54:50,821 --> 01:54:53,821 countless numerous public comments and 2571 01:54:53,821 --> 01:54:55,821 letters and showing up at your meetings 2572 01:54:55,821 --> 01:54:58,821 and yet our will of the public is being 2573 01:54:58,821 --> 01:55:01,821 ignored by our representatives who are 2574 01:55:01,821 --> 01:55:04,821 you and if this is a public process and 2575 01:55:04,821 --> 01:55:06,821 this is a democracy, you should be 2576 01:55:06,821 --> 01:55:10,821 honoring what we express and yet our 2577 01:55:10,821 --> 01:55:12,821 will has been expressly ignored. 2578 01:55:12,821 --> 01:55:15,821 that is an incredibly painful 2579 01:55:15,821 --> 01:55:17,821 heartbreaking concern for me. 2580 01:55:17,821 --> 01:55:19,821 you need to listen to the public an not 2581 01:55:19,821 --> 01:55:20,821 the developer. 2582 01:55:20,821 --> 01:55:22,821 the board of supervisors are 2583 01:55:22,821 --> 01:55:24,821 representative. 2584 01:55:24,821 --> 01:55:26,821 not the representative of the money you 2585 01:55:26,821 --> 01:55:29,821 see sparkling behind your eyeballs. 2586 01:55:30,761 --> 01:55:32,761 there is the land trust being able to 2587 01:55:32,761 --> 01:55:35,161 purchase this trade off-land. 2588 01:55:35,761 --> 01:55:38,761 if that's -- off the table is changes 2589 01:55:38,761 --> 01:55:41,761 your projects so I beg respectfully you 2590 01:55:41,761 --> 01:55:43,761 table this and reopen the public 2591 01:55:43,761 --> 01:55:45,761 comments and the whole process but that 2592 01:55:45,761 --> 01:55:47,761 you certainly don't have a vote today on 2593 01:55:47,761 --> 01:55:49,761 this given new information that the 2594 01:55:49,761 --> 01:55:51,761 public by our legal right has not yet 2595 01:55:51,761 --> 01:55:54,761 had an opportunity to significantly and 2596 01:55:54,761 --> 01:55:56,761 in the right timeframe comment upon. 2597 01:55:56,761 --> 01:55:58,761 the other issue that is huge and has not 2598 01:55:58,761 --> 01:56:00,761 been addressed is the fact that our 2599 01:56:00,761 --> 01:56:02,761 ability to coming in and out of the 2600 01:56:02,761 --> 01:56:06,361 county on 267 or 89 and over 267 will 2601 01:56:07,761 --> 01:56:09,761 never handle the traffic this project 2602 01:56:09,761 --> 01:56:10,761 will bring in. 2603 01:56:10,761 --> 01:56:13,761 you ignored that in your conscience of 2604 01:56:13,761 --> 01:56:15,761 voting to approve this project 2605 01:56:15,761 --> 01:56:17,761 tentatively on the 13th. 2606 01:56:17,761 --> 01:56:21,361 hopefully your conscience will now work 2607 01:56:21,761 --> 01:56:23,761 better and guide you to realize that the 2608 01:56:23,761 --> 01:56:27,701 citizens of this county have told you 2609 01:56:27,701 --> 01:56:29,701 they do -- they do not want this 2610 01:56:29,701 --> 01:56:30,701 project. 2611 01:56:30,701 --> 01:56:32,701 you need to honor what we've asked. 2612 01:56:32,701 --> 01:56:35,701 the final thing that has been said -- 2613 01:56:35,701 --> 01:56:38,101 >> supervisor weygandt: I'm sorry, 2614 01:56:38,701 --> 01:56:40,701 your three minutes are up. 2615 01:56:40,701 --> 01:56:43,701 >> the proclamation has been proposed 2616 01:56:43,701 --> 01:56:46,701 and further analysis is necessary. 2617 01:56:46,701 --> 01:56:50,701 thank you for remembering to honor the 2618 01:56:50,701 --> 01:56:51,701 will of the people that you represent. 2619 01:56:51,701 --> 01:56:53,701 >> supervisor weygandt: with that, I'm 2620 01:56:53,701 --> 01:56:55,701 going to close public comment. 2621 01:56:55,701 --> 01:56:56,701 bring it back to the board for any 2622 01:56:56,701 --> 01:56:59,701 further questions or comments or 2623 01:56:59,701 --> 01:57:00,701 dialogue and a vote. 2624 01:57:00,701 --> 01:57:02,701 one thing I want to throw out first is 2625 01:57:02,701 --> 01:57:06,901 that I've been in on going conversations 2626 01:57:08,701 --> 01:57:09,701 with the trust for public lands. 2627 01:57:09,701 --> 01:57:11,701 it's my understanding as I sit here that 2628 01:57:11,701 --> 01:57:14,701 they have not backed out of a 2629 01:57:14,701 --> 01:57:16,701 willingness to try to complete a 2630 01:57:16,701 --> 01:57:17,701 conservation deal. 2631 01:57:17,701 --> 01:57:20,701 they are still willing do that. 2632 01:57:20,701 --> 01:57:22,701 but it will require that the parties 2633 01:57:22,701 --> 01:57:26,301 come together and work out whatever 2634 01:57:27,641 --> 01:57:31,841 issues may still be unworked out among 2635 01:57:32,641 --> 01:57:33,641 all of them. 2636 01:57:33,641 --> 01:57:36,641 if that can happen, I would agree that 2637 01:57:36,641 --> 01:57:39,641 the conservation will result in a much 2638 01:57:39,641 --> 01:57:43,241 greater value amenity to the community. 2639 01:57:43,641 --> 01:57:48,641 if that can't be done, it will be a sad 2640 01:57:48,641 --> 01:57:49,641 circumstance for all of us because we'll 2641 01:57:49,641 --> 01:57:53,241 not have realized our fullest potential. 2642 01:57:53,641 --> 01:57:56,641 I would admonish those parties to try to 2643 01:57:56,641 --> 01:57:57,641 sit down and get together and do 2644 01:57:57,641 --> 01:57:59,641 everything they can to resolve that. 2645 01:57:59,641 --> 01:58:01,641 either way, there will be conservation, 2646 01:58:01,641 --> 01:58:02,641 but the quality of it is going to be 2647 01:58:02,641 --> 01:58:06,641 better if it can go into private 2648 01:58:06,641 --> 01:58:08,641 ownership that has been discussed as it 2649 01:58:08,641 --> 01:58:11,641 relates to the communication we've in 2650 01:58:11,641 --> 01:58:13,641 from the trust for public lands and 2651 01:58:13,641 --> 01:58:14,641 truckee land trust. 2652 01:58:14,641 --> 01:58:16,641 with that, jennifer. 2653 01:58:16,641 --> 01:58:17,641 >> supervisor montgomery: I wanted to 2654 01:58:17,641 --> 01:58:21,641 take the time to thank everyone that 2655 01:58:21,641 --> 01:58:23,641 came down from tahoe particularly today 2656 01:58:23,641 --> 01:58:27,241 to raise comments questions and concerns 2657 01:58:27,581 --> 01:58:30,581 in response to the first woman who 2658 01:58:30,581 --> 01:58:34,581 spoke, I think she left, but I do 2659 01:58:34,581 --> 01:58:35,581 believe it is our responsibility to 2660 01:58:35,581 --> 01:58:37,581 listen to our constituents and by 2661 01:58:37,581 --> 01:58:40,581 constituents, I mean not just in the 2662 01:58:40,581 --> 01:58:42,581 district I represent but throughout 2663 01:58:42,581 --> 01:58:43,581 placer county. 2664 01:58:43,581 --> 01:58:47,581 I will tell you that this project is on 2665 01:58:47,581 --> 01:58:50,581 a lot of people's radar, not just in the 2666 01:58:50,581 --> 01:58:52,581 fifth district but in other districts. 2667 01:58:52,581 --> 01:58:56,781 and I have taken very seriously their 2668 01:58:58,581 --> 01:59:00,581 concerns, and comments and input 2669 01:59:00,581 --> 01:59:01,581 throughout this process. 2670 01:59:01,581 --> 01:59:04,581 today I remain very skeptical that we're 2671 01:59:04,581 --> 01:59:06,581 going to achieve the conservation that 2672 01:59:06,581 --> 01:59:08,581 we all hoped for as part of this 2673 01:59:08,581 --> 01:59:10,581 project. 2674 01:59:10,581 --> 01:59:15,381 I've said and I'll say it again, the 2675 01:59:15,581 --> 01:59:19,581 only reason I was engaging in the 2676 01:59:19,581 --> 01:59:21,581 conversation of the units is because of 2677 01:59:21,581 --> 01:59:23,581 the conservation we hoped to achieve. 2678 01:59:23,581 --> 01:59:26,581 while I think chairman weygandt is 2679 01:59:26,581 --> 01:59:28,521 correct that the truckee donor land 2680 01:59:28,521 --> 01:59:30,521 trust and trust for public lands are 2681 01:59:30,521 --> 01:59:32,521 going to continue to try to engage in 2682 01:59:32,521 --> 01:59:34,921 conversations with mountain side 2683 01:59:35,521 --> 01:59:39,121 partners, their letter does say pretty 2684 01:59:40,521 --> 01:59:43,521 clearly, despite this notable and 2685 01:59:44,521 --> 01:59:46,521 reduction, it's not feasible to raise 2686 01:59:46,521 --> 01:59:49,521 the amount of funding while a project is 2687 01:59:49,521 --> 01:59:51,521 embroiled in controversy. 2688 01:59:53,521 --> 01:59:56,521 our organization also not be engaged in 2689 01:59:56,521 --> 02:00:00,121 this effort until they've reached a 2690 02:00:00,521 --> 02:00:02,521 settlement. 2691 02:00:02,521 --> 02:00:05,521 given these considerations we'll not be 2692 02:00:05,521 --> 02:00:06,521 signing the amendment. 2693 02:00:06,521 --> 02:00:08,521 that doesn't make me hopeful that we're 2694 02:00:08,521 --> 02:00:12,121 going to get meaningful and achievable 2695 02:00:14,521 --> 02:00:15,521 conservation out of this. 2696 02:00:15,521 --> 02:00:18,520 I will be in opposition to this project. 2697 02:00:18,520 --> 02:00:22,521 >> I wanted to clarify there was a 2698 02:00:22,521 --> 02:00:25,521 comment that was interpreted as the fact 2699 02:00:25,521 --> 02:00:27,521 that they had withdrawn and they were no 2700 02:00:27,521 --> 02:00:30,521 longer willing to have the conversation 2701 02:00:30,521 --> 02:00:33,521 and that's contrary to my understands. 2702 02:00:33,521 --> 02:00:35,521 any other questions or comments? 2703 02:00:35,521 --> 02:00:39,121 or the pleasure of the board? 2704 02:00:40,521 --> 02:00:41,521 >> supervisor uhler: am I 2705 02:00:41,521 --> 02:00:43,521 misunderstanding something in terms of 2706 02:00:43,521 --> 02:00:45,521 the requirement that the 6300-acres on 2707 02:00:45,521 --> 02:00:49,721 the east side be placed or a 2708 02:00:50,521 --> 02:00:53,521 conservation easement placed over it? 2709 02:00:53,521 --> 02:00:56,521 I'll ask planning staff or somebody. 2710 02:00:56,521 -->

02:09:30,981 --> 02:09:34,981 it is a 56-lot subdivision and a public 2877 02:09:34,981 --> 02:09:36,981 park. 2878 02:09:38,981 --> 02:09:43,181 beside it is 16.3-acres which a minimum 2879 02:09:44,981 --> 02:09:48,981 site -- it is comprised of seven 2880 02:09:48,981 --> 02:09:49,981 parcels. 2881 02:09:49,981 --> 02:09:51,981 one of them has a house and barn on it 2882 02:09:51,981 --> 02:09:52,981 at this time. 2883 02:09:52,981 --> 02:09:58,381 to give you a sense of where it's at, 2884 02:09:58,981 --> 02:10:01,981 this is what is referred to as island 2885 02:10:01,981 --> 02:10:03,981 area in granite bay. 2886 02:10:03,981 --> 02:10:06,981 the orange area is the actual project 2887 02:10:06,981 --> 02:10:07,981 site. 2888 02:10:07,981 --> 02:10:09,981 it's about 1.2-miles from the 2889 02:10:09,981 --> 02:10:12,981 intersection of douglas and sierra 2890 02:10:12,981 --> 02:10:13,981 college. 2891 02:10:13,981 --> 02:10:15,981 it's surrounded by the city of roseville 2892 02:10:15,981 --> 02:10:16,981 on three sides. 2893 02:10:16,981 --> 02:10:19,981 east, west and north and to the south is 2894 02:10:19,981 --> 02:10:22,381 the county of sacramento. 2895 02:10:22,981 --> 02:10:24,981 excuse me. 2896 02:10:24,981 --> 02:10:28,581 this is actual project layout 56 lots. 2897 02:10:28,981 --> 02:10:34,981 you can see -- wait a second -- you can 2898 02:10:34,981 --> 02:10:37,981 see here this is the largest parcel that 2899 02:10:37,981 --> 02:10:40,981 I referred to as .81-acres. 2900 02:10:42,981 --> 02:10:44,981 give you a sense of the project, this is 2901 02:10:44,981 --> 02:10:48,981 what it would look like when it's 2902 02:10:48,981 --> 02:10:49,981 landscaped. 2903 02:10:49,981 --> 02:10:51,981 you see the front, there are separate 2904 02:10:51,981 --> 02:10:53,981 lots for landscaping. 2905 02:10:53,981 --> 02:10:56,981 there will be a two foot berm in front 2906 02:10:56,981 --> 02:10:59,981 of the landscaping with a 6-foot high 2907 02:10:59,981 --> 02:11:01,981 block wall. 2908 02:11:01,981 --> 02:11:05,981 it will be 15 feet landscape buffers all 2909 02:11:05,981 --> 02:11:07,981 the way around the perimeter of the 2910 02:11:07,981 --> 02:11:08,981 property as well as good neighbor 2911 02:11:08,981 --> 02:11:10,981 fencing. 2912 02:11:10,981 --> 02:11:14,981 so, what entitlements do you need to do 2913 02:11:14,981 --> 02:11:16,981 this? 2914 02:11:16,981 --> 02:11:22,381 you need to rezone the site from -- to 2915 02:11:24,981 --> 02:11:26,981 single family. 2916 02:11:26,981 --> 02:11:29,921 you need to do the general plan 2917 02:11:29,921 --> 02:11:31,921 amendment to change the existing rural 2918 02:11:31,921 --> 02:11:34,321 density to immediate density 2919 02:11:34,921 --> 02:11:36,921 residential. 2920 02:11:36,921 --> 02:11:40,921 there is a variance which I'll discuss 2921 02:11:40,921 --> 02:11:43,921 later to 50% where 40% is allowed. 2922 02:11:44,921 --> 02:11:47,921 you need to approve a vesting tentative 2923 02:11:47,921 --> 02:11:49,921 subdivision map. 2924 02:11:49,921 --> 02:11:51,921 that's the entitlement. 2925 02:11:51,921 --> 02:11:53,921 we've prepared an environmental impact 2926 02:11:53,921 --> 02:11:55,921 report for the project. 2927 02:11:55,921 --> 02:11:58,921 the thing I'd like to you take away from 2928 02:11:58,921 --> 02:12:00,921 this, I'm not going into detail about 2929 02:12:00,921 --> 02:12:02,921 it, the environment impact report did 2930 02:12:02,921 --> 02:12:05,921 not require any overriding findings to 2931 02:12:05,921 --> 02:12:07,921 be made from the project. 2932 02:12:07,921 --> 02:12:12,121 so, the biggest question that's come up 2933 02:12:13,921 --> 02:12:16,921 with this property is that it's 2934 02:12:16,921 --> 02:12:18,921 requesting a general plan amendment 2935 02:12:18,921 --> 02:12:21,921 rezoning and that it does not in a lot 2936 02:12:21,921 --> 02:12:24,921 of people's opinions seem to be 2937 02:12:24,921 --> 02:12:27,921 consistent with the granite bay 2938 02:12:28,861 --> 02:12:30,861 community plan. 2939 02:12:30,861 --> 02:12:33,861 I can tell you it's an island area. 2940 02:12:33,861 --> 02:12:37,861 it's surrounded by high density areas in 2941 02:12:37,861 --> 02:12:38,861 the city of roseville. 2942 02:12:38,861 --> 02:12:43,661 the lots to the east, west, and north 2943 02:12:44,861 --> 02:12:47,861 vary anywhere from five units per acre 2944 02:12:47,861 --> 02:12:49,861 all the way up in some instances when 2945 02:12:49,861 --> 02:12:54,661 you get up to near eureka are 25 units 2946 02:12:54,861 --> 02:12:55,861 per acre. 2947 02:12:55,861 --> 02:12:58,861 most of the lots outside the area are 2948 02:12:58,861 --> 02:13:00,861 8,000 square feet. 2949 02:13:01,861 --> 02:13:04,861 even more than that, this would locate 2950 02:13:04,861 --> 02:13:07,261 higher density land uses. 2951 02:13:08,861 --> 02:13:10,861 we have sewer, water, the main 2952 02:13:10,861 --> 02:13:12,861 thoroughfare that goes through here. 2953 02:13:12,861 --> 02:13:15,861 which makes an area suitable for high 2954 02:13:15,861 --> 02:13:17,861 density. 2955 02:13:17,861 --> 02:13:20,861 the residents would be of a consistent 2956 02:13:20,861 --> 02:13:21,861 size and scale with adjoining 2957 02:13:21,861 --> 02:13:23,861 properties. 2958 02:13:23,861 --> 02:13:26,861 the area has 122 parcels in it. 2959 02:13:26,861 --> 02:13:28,861 of those 122 parcels. 2960 02:13:29,801 --> 02:13:32,801 24% of a consistent size with what is 2961 02:13:32,801 --> 02:13:35,201 proposed by the project. 2962 02:13:35,801 --> 02:13:37,801 it will provide recreational 2963 02:13:37,801 --> 02:13:40,801 opportunities for kids in granite bay 2964 02:13:40,801 --> 02:13:44,801 and it will also have -- it's 2965 02:13:44,801 --> 02:13:47,801 well-buffered from the larger parcels 2966 02:13:47,801 --> 02:13:51,401 that exist right on the borders. 2967 02:13:52,801 --> 02:13:54,801 this is to give you an idea of zoning 2968 02:13:54,801 --> 02:13:57,801 that's there rural residential zoning. 2969 02:13:57,801 --> 02:14:01,401 excuse me, rural low density residential 2970 02:14:02,801 --> 02:14:04,801 is in most of the area. 2971 02:14:04,801 --> 02:14:06,801 there is one rural recreational piece on 2972 02:14:06,801 --> 02:14:10,401 the corner auburn and sierra college. 2973 02:14:12,801 --> 02:14:13,801 I already hit on this. 2974 02:14:13,801 --> 02:14:15,801 122 parcels. 2975 02:14:19,801 --> 02:14:22,801 this is the zoning map. 2976 02:14:22,801 --> 02:14:24,801 pretty consistent with the community 2977 02:14:24,801 --> 02:14:26,801 plan map. 2978 02:14:27,741 --> 02:14:29,741 with regard to aesthetics. 2979 02:14:29,741 --> 02:14:33,341 this is a higher density residential 2980 02:14:33,741 --> 02:14:38,541 development in what is sort of -- people 2981 02:14:39,741 --> 02:14:42,741 were concerned that a newer high density 2982 02:14:42,741 --> 02:14:44,741 residential development would 23409 be 2983 02:14:44,741 --> 02:14:48,741 consistent with the feel of the island 2984 02:14:48,741 --> 02:14:49,741 area of granite bay. 2985 02:14:49,741 --> 02:14:51,741 what they did is they went around the 2986 02:14:51,741 --> 02:14:55,941 ones with the stars, those are 14-deep 2987 02:14:56,741 --> 02:14:59,741 restricted lots to one storey to lower 2988 02:14:59,741 --> 02:15:01,741 the mass of the prompt so it doesn't 2989 02:15:01,741 --> 02:15:04,741 stick out a lot to adjoining property 2990 02:15:04,741 --> 02:15:05,741 owners. 2991 02:15:05,741 --> 02:15:09,941 they've gone quite -- well they've done 2992 02:15:13,741 --> 02:15:15,741 a lot with fencing. 2993 02:15:15,741 --> 02:15:18,741 block walls in front for sound 2994 02:15:18,741 --> 02:15:20,741 attenuation and landscaping. 2995 02:15:20,741 --> 02:15:24,341 the black is good neighbor fencing. 2996 02:15:24,741 --> 02:15:27,681 and the red for reference is front 2997 02:15:27,681 --> 02:15:29,681 decorative fencing. 2998 02:15:29,681 --> 02:15:33,881 with regard to's -- with regard to 2999 02:15:35,681 --> 02:15:38,681 aesthetics, you can see on view one, 3000 02:15:38,681 --> 02:15:40,681 two, three, four, five. 3001 02:15:40,681 --> 02:15:43,681 they took those views one on havoccal, 3002 02:15:43,681 --> 02:15:47,681 annabelle and the college to see what 3003 02:15:47,681 --> 02:15:50,681 the project would look like in 10 years 3004 02:15:50,681 --> 02:15:51,681 to surrounding properties. 3005 02:15:51,681 --> 02:15:55,281 with regard looking from the boulevard 3006 02:15:55,681 --> 02:16:00,681 west now is on the top is what you see 3007 02:16:00,681 --> 02:16:01,681 now. 3008 02:16:01,681 --> 02:16:06,481 on the bottom is what you'd see at 10 3009 02:16:06,681 --> 02:16:07,681 years of buildup. 3010 02:16:07,681 --> 02:16:10,681 it looks pretty much the same. 3011 02:16:10,681 --> 02:16:12,681 looking northwest. 3012 02:16:12,681 --> 02:16:14,681 that's what you see on top. 3013 02:16:14,681 --> 02:16:17,681 10 years ever build-out, really, you see 3014 02:16:17,681 --> 02:16:19,681 landscaping. 3015 02:16:19,681 --> 02:16:22,681 from havoccal way looking north, the 3016 02:16:22,681 --> 02:16:26,681 view, -- the upper is the view. 3017 02:16:26,681 --> 02:16:29,621 lower is what you'll see in 10 years. 3018 02:16:29,621 --> 02:16:31,621 tree and landscaping. 3019 02:16:42,621 --> 02:16:45,210 eckerman road looking east. 3020 02:16:46,621 --> 02:16:48,621 you see the fencing. 3021 02:16:48,621 --> 02:16:52,821 this is anna bell avenue looking south. 3022 02:16:53,621 --> 02:16:55,621 top is what you see now. 3023 02:16:55,621 --> 02:16:59,621 10 years from now is what you'll see. 3024 02:16:59,621 --> 02:17:05,210 so, as I said, these are for your own. 3025 02:17:05,621 --> 02:17:08,621 you see the actual entitlement amendment 3026 02:17:08,621 --> 02:17:09,621 rezone. 3027 02:17:09,621 --> 02:17:12,210 subdivision map and variance. 3028 02:17:12,621 --> 02:17:14,621 that's all I have unless you have any 3029 02:17:14,621 --> 02:17:15,621 specific questions. 3030 02:17:15,621 --> 02:17:18,210 >> supervisor weygandt: questions or 3031 02:17:18,621 --> 02:17:21,210 comments by board members? 3032 02:17:21,621 --> 02:17:22,621 >> supervisor uhler: george, would you 3033 02:17:22,621 --> 02:17:25,621 go back to the -- I think it was the 3034 02:17:25,621 --> 02:17:28,561 aerial view that you had of the project 3035 02:17:28,561 --> 02:17:30,561 site. 3036 02:17:30,561 --> 02:17:31,561 >> yes. 3037 02:17:31,561 --> 02:17:33,961 >> supervisor weygandt: thank you. 3038 02:17:43,561 --> 02:17:48,561 so I think I heard you correctly, but I 3039 02:17:48,561 --> 02:17:49,561 want to clarify. 3040 02:17:49,561 --> 02:17:54,361 you said in the island area bordered by 3041 02:17:56,561 --> 02:17:58,561 roseville to the west and north and 3042 02:17:58,561 --> 02:18:01,561 sierra college to the east and old 3043 02:18:01,561 --> 02:18:04,561 auburn to the southwest of 120 parcels 3044 02:18:04,561 --> 02:18:08,561 of which you said I think 25 percent or 3045 02:18:08,561 --> 02:18:10,561 a quarter acre or less something along 3046 02:18:10,561 --> 02:18:11,561 those lines? 3047 02:18:11,561 --> 02:18:13,561 >> 24%. 3048 02:18:13,561 --> 02:18:15,561 there is 122 parcels. 3049 02:18:16,561 --> 02:18:18,561 I believe if my memory serves me right, 3050 02:18:18,561 --> 02:18:22,561 29 of them are consistent with what is 3051 02:18:22,561 --> 02:18:24,561 being proposed. 3052 02:18:24,561 --> 02:18:28,501 it works out to 24% of the island areas 3053 02:18:28,501 --> 02:18:30,501 consistent from what is proposed by 3054 02:18:30,501 --> 02:18:31,501 park. 3055 02:18:31,501 --> 02:18:32,501 >> supervisor uhler: so with the 3056 02:18:32,501 --> 02:18:34,901 adoption of the 1989 plan. 3057 02:18:37,501 --> 02:18:40,501 we have the land use designation of .9 3058 02:18:40,501 --> 02:18:42,501 to 2.3 for this. 3059 02:18:43,501 --> 02:18:47,701 yet, by my count, 70 of the existing 3060 02:18:49,501 --> 02:18:51,501 parcels out there don't meet the land 3061 02:18:51,501 --> 02:18:52,501 use designation. 3062 02:18:52,501 --> 02:18:54,501 >> right. 3063 02:18:55,501 --> 02:18:56,501 correct. 3064 02:18:56,501 --> 02:18:58,501 they fall below that. 3065 02:18:58,501 --> 02:19:01,501 >> supervisor uhler: they fall below. 3066 02:19:01,501 --> 02:19:04,501 so when we adopted the community plan in 3067 02:19:04,501 --> 02:19:09,301 '89, we had allowed for zoning to be put 3068 02:19:10,501 --> 02:19:14,101 on that that automatically created half 3069 02:19:15,501 --> 02:19:18,501 of the lots as nonconforming lots. 3070 02:19:18,501 --> 02:19:19,501 >> correct. 3071 02:19:19,501 --> 02:19:20,501 >> supervisor uhler: any idea why that 3072 02:19:20,501 --> 02:19:21,501 was done? 3073 02:19:21,501 --> 02:19:23,901 >> I wasn't working here. 3074 02:19:25,501 --> 02:19:27,441 I was still a year out. 3075 02:19:27,441 --> 02:19:29,441 >> supervisor uhler: likewise, when 3076 02:19:29,441 --> 02:19:32,441 this was adopted in 1989, the city of 3077 02:19:32,441 --> 02:19:34,441 roseville had built that project to the 3078 02:19:34,441 --> 02:19:37,441 west right up to the property line. 3079 02:19:37,441 --> 02:19:42,241 that project homes have been of -- homes 3080 02:19:43,441 --> 02:19:45,441 having been built in the mid '80s. 3081 02:19:45,441 --> 02:19:49,641 I see property sizes parcel sizes of 3082 02:19:50,441 --> 02:19:54,641 8400 square feet on the boarder of this. 3083 02:19:57,441 --> 02:20:00,441 we adopted a zoning knowing that we had 3084 02:20:00,441 --> 02:20:03,441 less than a quarter acre lots a density 3085 02:20:03,441 --> 02:20:05,441 of five to the acre. 3086 02:20:05,441 --> 02:20:07,441 immediately adjacent to the city of 3087 02:20:07,441 --> 02:20:08,441 roseville. 3088 02:20:08,441 --> 02:20:11,441 we have over half of the existing lots 3089 02:20:11,441 --> 02:20:14,441 not in conformance with the zoning 3090 02:20:14,441 --> 02:20:17,441 designation yet we put the zoning 3091 02:20:17,441 --> 02:20:19,441 designation on their anyway? 3092 02:20:19,441 --> 02:20:21,441 >> yes. 3093 02:20:21,441 --> 02:20:22,441 >> supervisor uhler: then you 3094 02:20:22,441 --> 02:20:24,441 mentioned since then, roseville has 3095 02:20:24,441 --> 02:20:29,241 built to the north that area has built 3096 02:20:29,441 --> 02:20:33,641 with lots as small as 6900 square feet 3097 02:20:34,441 --> 02:20:38,410 and roseville annexed the remainder of 3098 02:20:39,441 --> 02:20:41,441 the part that got pulled into the 3099 02:20:41,441 --> 02:20:44,441 southeast specific plan area that's the 3100 02:20:44,441 --> 02:20:47,441 part that is now known as hillsborough 3101 02:20:47,441 --> 02:20:51,441 and ashley woods and east ridge, those 3102 02:20:51,441 --> 02:20:52,441 subdivisions. 3103 02:20:52,441 --> 02:20:56,441 over there, we have lots in the 8,000 3104 02:20:56,441 --> 02:20:58,441 square foot range. 3105 02:20:59,441 --> 02:21:01,441 >> correct. 3106 02:21:01,441 --> 02:21:04,441 >> supervisor uhler: if as a planner, 3107 02:21:04,441 --> 02:21:07,441 if there were no land use designation 3108 02:21:07,441 --> 02:21:11,441 assigned to this area, what in your 3109 02:21:11,441 --> 02:21:14,441 opinion is an appropriate land use 3110 02:21:14,441 --> 02:21:18,641 designation for an area on a main 3111 02:21:19,441 --> 02:21:22,441 arterial surrounded by high density 3112 02:21:22,441 --> 02:21:26,641 residential on three sides, what do you 3113 02:21:27,381 --> 02:21:29,381 think is an appropriate land use for 3114 02:21:29,381 --> 02:21:30,381 this area? 3115 02:21:30,381 --> 02:21:35,181 >> um, well, it's no secret, I said this 3116 02:21:35,381 --> 02:21:37,381 at the planning commission as well. 3117 02:21:37,381 --> 02:21:40,381 it's my opinion that, you know, as a 3118 02:21:40,381 --> 02:21:42,381 planner when you look at this, you have 3119 02:21:42,381 --> 02:21:44,381 to look at surrounding uses and look at 3120 02:21:44,381 --> 02:21:47,381 consistency and that sort of thing. 3121 02:21:47,381 --> 02:21:51,381 this has all the -- what I was saying is 3122 02:21:51,381 --> 02:21:53,381 this came up in the plan commission and 3123 02:21:53,381 --> 02:21:55,381 I'll tell you what I told them. 3124 02:21:55,381 --> 02:21:58,381 you have to look at what is around it. 3125 02:21:58,381 --> 02:22:02,381 I think if we would have in 2012 looked 3126 02:22:02,381 --> 02:22:05,381 at land use updates with regard to the 3127 02:22:05,381 --> 02:22:07,381 granite bay community plan, this is an 3128 02:22:07,381 --> 02:22:10,381 area that we'd have to look at high 3129 02:22:10,381 --> 02:22:13,381 density maybe even commercial zoning 3130 02:22:13,381 --> 02:22:16,381 look apartments at 21 units per acre. 3131 02:22:16,381 --> 02:22:19,381 it's not out of question. 3132 02:22:20,381 --> 02:22:23,381 roseville last 25 units per acre. 3133 02:22:24,381 --> 02:22:27,321 this is one of the areas where you would 3134 02:22:27,321 --> 02:22:30,321 look at high density and roseville would 3135 02:22:30,321 --> 02:22:31,321 have something to say about it because 3136 02:22:31,321 --> 02:22:34,321 it's within their sphere of influence. 3137 02:22:34,321 --> 02:22:37,321 >> supervisor uhler: to that question 3138 02:22:37,321 --> 02:22:39,321 I've been curious about the creation of 3139 02:22:39,321 --> 02:22:41,321 this island in the first place and how 3140 02:22:41,321 --> 02:22:44,321 we've ended up in this position. 3141 02:22:44,321 --> 02:22:47,921 with roseville coming across even though 3142 02:22:48,321 --> 02:22:52,321 those people on the east side of sierra 3143 02:22:52,321 --> 02:22:56,321 college, many of them have a granite bay 3144 02:22:56,321 --> 02:22:59,321 zip code but they're in the city of 3145 02:22:59,321 --> 02:23:03,321 roseville people on the west side are a

02:23:09,321 --> 02:23:11,321 was done a while ago, but is this kind 3150 02:23:11,321 --> 02:23:16,121 of thing even allowed by law today where 3151 02:23:17,321 --> 02:23:19,321 you can leave an island like that cut 3152 02:23:19,321 --> 02:23:21,321 off from services by existing 3153 02:23:21,321 --> 02:23:22,321 jurisdictions? 3154 02:23:22,321 --> 02:23:25,321 >> the law would discourage

02:23:38,261 --> 02:23:39,261 by a city. 3159 02:23:39,261 --> 02:23:41,261 >> if the city had come across and 3160 02:23:41,261 --> 02:23:43,261 claimed they would have been forced 3161 02:23:43,261 --> 02:23:45,261 under today's law to take that into the 3162 02:23:45,261 --> 02:23:46,261 city as well. 3163 02:23:46,261 --> 02:23:47,261 >> yes. 3164 02:23:47,261 --> 02:23:48,261 >> supervisor

That went 3263 02:28:21,210 --> 02:28:24,210 out at the end of 2014. 3264 02:28:25,210 --> 02:28:26,961 a number of community comments were to 3265 02:28:26,961 --> 02:28:29,961 be submitted to the county on the n.o.p. 3266 02:28:29,961 --> 02:28:32,961 at that time but rather than relying on 3267 02:28:32,961 --> 02:28:33,961 written comments be submitted by 3268 02:28:33,961 --> 02:28:37,561 e-mail or letter, my client's team 3269 02:28:39,961 --> 02:28:40,961 decided to engage in the community in 3270 02:28:40,961 --> 02:28:43,961 face-to-face meetings to be able to have 3271 02:28:43,961 --> 02:28:45,961 an opportunity to hear firsthand what 3272 02:28:45,961 --> 02:28:47,961 people's issues and concerns and to 3273 02:28:47,961 --> 02:28:49,961 address some of the misinformation out 3274 02:28:49,961 --> 02:28:50,961 there on the project. 3275 02:28:50,961 --> 02:28:53,361 those community outreach efforts 3276 02:28:53,961 --> 02:28:55,961 consisted of three community meetings 3277 02:28:55,961 --> 02:28:58,961 with those being advertised by mail to 3278 02:28:58,961 --> 02:29:02,561 all these 122 parcels northern part of 3279 02:29:02,961 --> 02:29:03,961 the island. 3280 02:29:03,961 --> 02:29:06,961 at the same time mr. Tattersall 3281 02:29:06,961 --> 02:29:10,561 announced those meeting tots granite bay 3282 02:29:10,961 --> 02:29:15,161 mac on other occasions so people would 3283 02:29:15,961 --> 02:29:16,961 know about head to. 3284 02:29:16,961 --> 02:29:17,961 they were held at the granite bay 3285 02:29:17,961 --> 02:29:19,961 library. 3286 02:29:21,961 --> 02:29:23,961 a total of fewer than 20 residents 3287 02:29:23,961 --> 02:29:26,961 including some repeat attendees attended 3288 02:29:27,901 --> 02:29:29,901 those meetings in total. 3289 02:29:29,901 --> 02:29:34,101 my client met with folks on eckerman 3290 02:29:35,901 --> 02:29:38,901 road in a separate meeting. 3291 02:29:38,901 --> 02:29:40,901 after several followup conversations 3292 02:29:40,901 --> 02:29:42,901 with residents in the area. 3293 02:29:42,901 --> 02:29:45,901 the project team took a step back at 3294 02:29:45,901 --> 02:29:48,901 that point and based on the concerns 3295 02:29:48,901 --> 02:29:51,901 issues and discussion points raised 3296 02:29:51,901 --> 02:29:53,901 during the community meetings decided to 3297 02:29:53,901 --> 02:29:56,301 relook at the project. 3298 02:29:56,901 --> 02:29:58,901 along the lines of not looking at 3299 02:29:58,901 --> 02:30:01,901 saying, well, we have a targeted number 3300 02:30:01,901 --> 02:30:03,901 of units and targeted density but took a 3301 02:30:03,901 --> 02:30:05,901 step back to the view right there and 3302 02:30:05,901 --> 02:30:10,701 see what else in the community nearby we 3303 02:30:10,901 --> 02:30:13,901 could model this after in terms of what 3304 02:30:13,901 --> 02:30:14,901 is already existing in the island as 3305 02:30:14,901 --> 02:30:16,901 opposed to proposing something that 3306 02:30:16,901 --> 02:30:19,901 doesn't exist, what exists in the 3307 02:30:19,901 --> 02:30:20,901 island? 3308 02:30:20,901 --> 02:30:25,101 two parcels away sits lots on annabelle 3309 02:30:27,901 --> 02:30:29,901 avenue are a quarter acre in size or 3310 02:30:29,901 --> 02:30:30,901 less. 3311 02:30:30,901 --> 02:30:32,901 rather than telling the planners and 3312 02:30:32,901 --> 02:30:35,901 engineers design something based on 3313 02:30:35,901 --> 02:30:37,901 this, what can you do looking at that 3314 02:30:37,901 --> 02:30:39,901 and the things we want to achieve based 3315 02:30:39,901 --> 02:30:42,901 on the comments we heard come up with a 3316 02:30:42,901 --> 02:30:47,901 plan and see how you can get to what is 3317 02:30:47,901 --> 02:30:50,301 there on annabelle avenue. 3318 02:30:51,901 --> 02:30:53,901 what we came up with the project before 3319 02:30:53,901 --> 02:30:54,901 you. 3320 02:30:54,901 --> 02:30:57,901 the 56 lots represented 40% reduction in 3321 02:30:57,901 --> 02:30:59,901 what was presented to the mac in 3322 02:30:59,901 --> 02:31:01,901 november of 2014. 3323 02:31:01,901 --> 02:31:06,101 the lot sizes again now range from 7100 3324 02:31:08,901 --> 02:31:11,301 to over 17,000 square feet. 3325 02:31:11,901 --> 02:31:15,501 the average lot size is over 9,000 3326 02:31:16,901 --> 02:31:18,901 square feet roughly a quarter of an 3327 02:31:18,901 --> 02:31:20,901 acre. 3328 02:31:20,901 --> 02:31:23,901 roughly what you have on annabelle 3329 02:31:23,901 --> 02:31:24,901 avenue. 3330 02:31:24,901 --> 02:31:27,301 looking at adjacency issues. 3331 02:31:28,841 --> 02:31:30,841 looking at the homes that are adjacent 3332 02:31:30,841 --> 02:31:35,641 to the project, you thought to try to 3333 02:31:35,841 --> 02:31:39,441 address some adjacency issue issues and 3334 02:31:42,841 --> 02:31:45,841 addressed 14 lots nearest to the houses 3335 02:31:45,841 --> 02:31:47,841 on our neighbors properties. 3336 02:31:47,841 --> 02:31:50,841 a quarter of the lots in those adjacent 3337 02:31:50,841 --> 02:31:51,841 areas. 3338 02:31:51,841 --> 02:31:52,841 as you can see from the subdivision map, 3339 02:31:52,841 --> 02:31:55,841 one of the lots adjacent to us that has 3340 02:31:55,841 --> 02:31:58,841 a long distance immediately to the 3341 02:31:58,841 --> 02:32:01,841 northwest only has one house right now 3342 02:32:01,841 --> 02:32:04,841 there is a 15-foot landscape buffer. 3343 02:32:04,841 --> 02:32:06,841 there is only one house next to that. 3344 02:32:06,841 --> 02:32:09,241 actually be deed restricted. 3345 02:32:10,841 --> 02:32:16,241 the other aspect is if we could pull up, 3346 02:32:17,841 --> 02:32:20,241 george, the actual project. 3347 02:32:22,841 --> 02:32:26,781 we're asking for a variance for those 3348 02:32:26,781 --> 02:32:30,381 less than 800 square foot -- 800 square 3349 02:32:33,781 --> 02:32:34,781 feet. 3350 02:32:34,781 --> 02:32:38,381 right now current regulations say that 3351 02:32:38,781 --> 02:32:41,781 your coverage for a one-storey house is 3352 02:32:41,781 --> 02:32:42,781 40%. 3353 02:32:42,781 --> 02:32:46,981 we proposed it for lots less than 8,000 3354 02:32:47,781 --> 02:32:48,781 square feet. 3355 02:32:48,781 --> 02:32:50,781 if you want a one-storey home, you can 3356 02:32:50,781 --> 02:32:52,781 go to 40%. 3357 02:32:52,781 --> 02:32:55,781 if you look around the edges of 3358 02:32:55,781 --> 02:32:59,981 projects, I believe nearly every one are 3359 02:33:00,781 --> 02:33:02,781 8,000 square feet for more. 3360 02:33:02,781 --> 02:33:04,781 they'd be subject to the 40%. 3361 02:33:04,781 --> 02:33:06,781 if you look at that middle part of the 3362 02:33:06,781 --> 02:33:09,781 prompt, those are below 8,000 square 3363 02:33:09,781 --> 02:33:10,781 feet. 3364 02:33:10,781 --> 02:33:12,781 we could do a mix there. 3365 02:33:12,781 --> 02:33:16,781 the idea of this variance we request 3366 02:33:16,781 --> 02:33:17,781 would allow that. 3367 02:33:17,781 --> 02:33:20,781 we know if terms of setbacks another 3368 02:33:20,781 --> 02:33:24,381 issue, that the setbacks we're proposing 3369 02:33:24,781 --> 02:33:25,781 for the homes along the edge of the 3370 02:33:25,781 --> 02:33:27,721 property are far, far greater than what 3371 02:33:27,721 --> 02:33:30,721 the setbacks are of the existing homes 3372 02:33:30,721 --> 02:33:32,721 relevant to our property line. 3373 02:33:32,721 --> 02:33:35,721 our setbacks for rear yards for 3374 02:33:35,721 --> 02:33:37,721 one-storey is 35 feet. 3375 02:33:37,721 --> 02:33:40,721 for two-storeys is 42.5 square feet. 3376 02:33:41,721 --> 02:33:45,921 the project retains the park, 8/10s of 3377 02:33:47,721 --> 02:33:49,721 an acre in side. 3378 02:33:49,721 --> 02:33:52,721 it can accommodate youth soccer and 3379 02:33:52,721 --> 02:33:53,721 other events. 3380 02:33:53,721 --> 02:33:55,721 this was presented at the planning 3381 02:33:55,721 --> 02:33:58,721 commission hearing that both granite bay 3382 02:33:58,721 --> 02:34:02,721 fc and granite bay youth lacrosse would 3383 02:34:02,721 --> 02:34:05,721 be able to use this in practice. 3384 02:34:05,721 --> 02:34:07,721 the biggest issue throughout the region 3385 02:34:07,721 --> 02:34:10,721 and throughout placer county and granite 3386 02:34:10,721 --> 02:34:12,721 bay area in particular are not having 3387 02:34:12,721 --> 02:34:15,721 places for matches, you can have places 3388 02:34:15,721 --> 02:34:18,721 for matches, it's practice fields. 3389 02:34:18,721 --> 02:34:19,721 I'm sure it's in all your districts 3390 02:34:19,721 --> 02:34:21,721 trying to find practice fields. 3391 02:34:21,721 --> 02:34:24,721 this park site would be open to the 3392 02:34:24,721 --> 02:34:25,721 public dawn to dusk. 3393 02:34:25,721 --> 02:34:28,661 our gates would be open dawn to dusk. 3394 02:34:28,661 --> 02:34:31,661 in essence, the county is getting a 3395 02:34:31,661 --> 02:34:32,661 freebie. 3396 02:34:32,661 --> 02:34:34,661 a park to be used by the public not 3397 02:34:34,661 --> 02:34:37,661 having to pay to own it or maintain it. 3398 02:34:37,661 --> 02:34:39,661 the project to achieve the large lot 3399 02:34:39,661 --> 02:34:44,461 sizes limit to the rose garden and park 3400 02:34:44,661 --> 02:34:45,661 lot. 3401 02:34:45,661 --> 02:34:46,661 we have parking on the lot on the one 3402 02:34:46,661 --> 02:34:47,661 side of the street. 3403 02:34:47,661 --> 02:34:52,461 we did retain a 15-foot wide land buffer 3404 02:34:52,661 --> 02:34:54,661 on the north, south and west edges of 3405 02:34:54,661 --> 02:34:55,661 the property. 3406 02:34:55,661 --> 02:34:57,661 you're going to hear a number of 3407 02:34:57,661 --> 02:35:02,461 projects on the -- number of comments on 3408 02:35:02,661 --> 02:35:05,661 the project regarding our drainage study 3409 02:35:05,661 --> 02:35:09,661 and it has impact on everything from the 3410 02:35:09,661 --> 02:35:13,261 school district to traffic impacts and 3411 02:35:13,661 --> 02:35:15,661 the claim there should be no changes to 3412 02:35:15,661 --> 02:35:18,661 the granite bay community plan should be 3413 02:35:18,661 --> 02:35:19,661 made since the update to the community 3414 02:35:19,661 --> 02:35:22,661 plan was just adopted four years ago. 3415 02:35:22,661 --> 02:35:24,661 I'd like to briefly address each of the 3416 02:35:24,661 --> 02:35:25,661 items. 3417 02:35:25,661 --> 02:35:28,601 in terms of project drainage, existing 3418 02:35:28,601 --> 02:35:31,601 localized flooding issues on eckerman 3419 02:35:33,601 --> 02:35:36,601 road are caused by draining by local 3420 02:35:36,601 --> 02:35:38,601 residents. 3421 02:35:38,601 --> 02:35:40,601 drainage improvements by the same 3422 02:35:40,601 --> 02:35:42,601 residents that were not designed under 3423 02:35:42,601 --> 02:35:44,601 engineering standards. 3424 02:35:44,601 --> 02:35:46,601 comments received last week on the 3425 02:35:46,601 --> 02:35:49,601 study, we've had our engineer working 3426 02:35:49,601 --> 02:35:52,601 over the weekend and yesterday and 3427 02:35:52,601 --> 02:35:54,601 submitted comments in responding to all 3428 02:35:54,601 --> 02:35:55,601 of those. 3429 02:35:55,601 --> 02:35:57,601 there are no issues raised in that that 3430 02:35:57,601 --> 02:36:00,601 would undermine the analysis of the 3431 02:36:00,601 --> 02:36:02,601 e.I.r. 3432 02:36:02,601 --> 02:36:05,601 looking, however, at the localized 3433 02:36:05,601 --> 02:36:09,601 flooding issue, your staff had asked us 3434 02:36:09,601 --> 02:36:11,601 was the not just to have a project that 3435 02:36:11,601 --> 02:36:13,601 met the typical requirements of don't 3436 02:36:13,601 --> 02:36:17,201 make things worse post development and 3437 02:36:17,601 --> 02:36:18,601 predevelopment. 3438 02:36:18,601 --> 02:36:20,601 our idea was to improve the situation 3439 02:36:20,601 --> 02:36:22,601 for our neighbors and so the design of 3440 02:36:22,601 --> 02:36:25,601 the project including the stormwater 3441 02:36:25,601 --> 02:36:28,541 detention basin in the northwest corner 3442 02:36:28,541 --> 02:36:30,541 where the shed flows to will be able to 3443 02:36:30,541 --> 02:36:34,141 detain flows during heavy storm events 3444 02:36:34,541 --> 02:36:38,141 that will improve situations on eckerman 3445 02:36:39,541 --> 02:36:40,541 road. 3446 02:36:40,541 --> 02:36:41,541 this is a critical issue for the project 3447 02:36:41,541 --> 02:36:45,141 to address and an existing situation 3448 02:36:45,541 --> 02:36:47,541 created by others. 3449 02:36:47,541 --> 02:36:51,541 the staff report has done a good job 3450 02:36:51,541 --> 02:36:54,541 south placer fire district confirmed 3451 02:36:55,541 --> 02:36:58,541 both in writing, we have copies of the 3452 02:36:58,541 --> 02:37:02,141 letter that eckerman road satisfies the 3453 02:37:07,541 --> 02:37:09,541 requirements and the fire district has 3454 02:37:09,541 --> 02:37:12,541 full rights to continue using eckerman 3455 02:37:12,541 --> 02:37:17,541 road as an eba route as it has for 3456 02:37:17,541 --> 02:37:18,541 decades. 3457 02:37:18,541 --> 02:37:19,541 that's the secondary route. 3458 02:37:19,541 --> 02:37:22,541 primary access is on sierra college 3459 02:37:22,541 --> 02:37:23,541 boulevard. 3460 02:37:23,541 --> 02:37:25,941 not on eckerman road. 3461 02:37:31,481 --> 02:37:33,481 there are a number of comments from the 3462 02:37:33,481 --> 02:37:36,481 public that they face client enrollment 3463 02:37:36,481 --> 02:37:37,481 for a number of years. 3464 02:37:37,481 --> 02:37:40,481 the students from families that will 3465 02:37:40,481 --> 02:37:42,481 live in the project will help alleviate 3466 02:37:42,481 --> 02:37:44,881 that declining enrollment issue. 3467 02:37:45,481 --> 02:37:48,481 young families who cannot afford 800,000 3468 02:37:50,481 --> 02:37:53,481 or million dollar homes or simply are 3469 02:37:53,481 --> 02:37:57,810 not interested in buying 50 and 60 and 3470 02:37:57,481 --> 02:38:00,481 40-year-old homes and trying to upgrade 3471 02:38:00,481 --> 02:38:02,481 them. 3472 02:38:02,481 --> 02:38:04,481 young families want to look at energy 3473 02:38:04,481 --> 02:38:07,481 efficient homes with new appliances, the 3474 02:38:07,481 --> 02:38:09,481 greatest technology and new home designs 3475 02:38:09,481 --> 02:38:13,481 rather than trying to redo wiring on a 3476 02:38:13,481 --> 02:38:15,481 60-year-old home. 3477 02:38:15,481 --> 02:38:19,481 as for traffic, as the e.I.r. Showed 3478 02:38:19,481 --> 02:38:22,481 there are no significant impacts from 3479 02:38:22,481 --> 02:38:23,481 the project. 3480 02:38:23,481 --> 02:38:25,481 there was a weaving analysis done and 3481 02:38:25,481 --> 02:38:28,421 there are no issues from a traffic 3482 02:38:28,421 --> 02:38:30,421 perspective adopted by the board. 3483 02:38:30,421 --> 02:38:32,421 as for the proposed changes for the 3484 02:38:32,421 --> 02:38:34,421 community plan, typically with every 3485 02:38:34,421 --> 02:38:36,421 community plan in placer county and 3486 02:38:36,421 --> 02:38:39,421 throughout the greater sacramento region 3487 02:38:39,421 --> 02:38:41,421 and throughout the state, when a 3488 02:38:41,421 --> 02:38:42,421 community plan is updated, you look at 3489 02:38:42,421 --> 02:38:45,421 both the land use plan and policies. 3490 02:38:45,421 --> 02:38:47,421 you update both. 3491 02:38:47,421 --> 02:38:49,421 that's the typical way of doing things. 3492 02:38:49,421 --> 02:38:51,421 if the granite bay community plan 3493 02:38:51,421 --> 02:38:53,421 update, that was not the case. 3494 02:38:53,421 --> 02:38:55,421 the board decided that just look at 3495 02:38:55,421 --> 02:38:57,421 policies and instead, individual 3496 02:38:57,421 --> 02:38:59,421 projects will have to come through on 3497 02:38:59,421 --> 02:39:00,421 their nickel. 3498 02:39:00,421 --> 02:39:02,421 they'll have to process an application 3499 02:39:02,421 --> 02:39:04,421 and pay for the environmental review of 3500 02:39:04,421 --> 02:39:06,421 that rather than comprehensively looking 3501 02:39:06,421 --> 02:39:09,421 at various requested changes that might 3502 02:39:09,421 --> 02:39:10,421 come in. 3503 02:39:10,421 --> 02:39:15,221 that was a sharp deviation from what the 3504 02:39:15,421 --> 02:39:16,421 county has always done. 3505 02:39:16,421 --> 02:39:19,421 here we are in an area of the count 3506 02:39:19,421 --> 02:39:21,421 which where you have a broad range of 3507 02:39:21,421 --> 02:39:23,421 lot sizes including the lot sizes we're 3508 02:39:23,421 --> 02:39:24,421 proposing to you today. 3509 02:39:24,421 --> 02:39:27,361 on a major transportation corridor. 3510 02:39:27,361 --> 02:39:30,961 this is the beltway between 80 and 50 3511 02:39:31,361 --> 02:39:34,361 hazel avenue and college boulevard -- 3512 02:39:34,361 --> 02:39:37,961 sierra college boulevard is the beltway. 3513 02:39:38,361 --> 02:39:39,361 it has infrastructure available in terms 3514 02:39:39,361 --> 02:39:41,761 of sewer and water. 3515 02:39:45,361 --> 02:39:47,361 hence, we have the letter from executive 3516 02:39:47,361 --> 02:39:50,361 director mike mckeever to that very 3517 02:39:50,361 --> 02:39:52,361 issue. 3518 02:39:52,361 --> 02:39:55,361 basically infill properties using assets 3519 02:39:55,361 --> 02:39:57,361 on transportation corridors with 3520 02:39:57,361 --> 02:40:00,361 provision of housing choices providing 3521 02:40:02,361 --> 02:40:04,361 recreational amenities and mix of uses 3522 02:40:04,361 --> 02:40:06,361 on the site and that's what you have 3523 02:40:06,361 --> 02:40:08,361 before you today. 3524 02:40:10,361 --> 02:40:11,361 there was a comment raised by the 3525 02:40:11,361 --> 02:40:13,361 planning commission, I didn't see 3526 02:40:13,361 --> 02:40:15,361 anything in the staff report, but there 3527 02:40:15,361 --> 02:40:19,361 are comments raise that we have we have 3528 02:40:19,361 --> 02:40:23,361 400-acres of the mdr and don't need any 3529 02:40:23,361 --> 02:40:24,361 more. 3530 02:40:24,361 --> 02:40:25,361 that is irrelevant to the application 3531 02:40:25,361 --> 02:40:26,361 before you. 3532 02:40:26,361 --> 02:40:28,361 those 400-acres are developed. 3533 02:40:28,361 --> 02:40:29,361 if you're looking at the issue that you 3534 02:40:29,361 --> 02:40:32,961 have mdr property already there isn't 3535 02:40:33,361 --> 02:40:35,361 any left in granite bay and haven't 3536 02:40:35,361 --> 02:40:36,361 been. 3537 02:40:36,361 --> 02:40:40,361 from a land use planning perspective,on 3538 02:40:40,361 --> 02:40:43,361 the transportation corridor with all 3539 02:40:44,361 --> 02:40:47,361 site amenities, this sound land use 3540 02:40:47,361 --> 02:40:49,361 planning as you heard from your planning 3541 02:40:49,361 --> 02:40:50,361 staff. 3542 02:40:50,361 --> 02:40:53,361 when you compare that with a local long 3543 02:40:53,361 --> 02:40:56,361 time resident known for building in the 3544 02:40:56,361 --> 02:40:58,361 area, we believe the decision before you 3545 02:40:58,361 --> 02:40:59,361 is an easy one. 3546 02:40:59,361 --> 02:41:02,361 nearly 1500 granite bay residents who 3547 02:41:03,361 --> 02:41:05,361 signed an interest page or on line 3548 02:41:05,361 --> 02:41:07,361 petition in support of the project would 3549 02:41:07,361 --> 02:41:08,361 agree. 3550 02:41:08,361 --> 02:41:11,961 from an feasibility perspective, we took 3551 02:41:12,361 --> 02:41:15,361 an economic analysis of the project by a 3552 02:41:15,361 --> 02:41:18,961 well-respected economist so see if it 3553 02:41:20,361 --> 02:41:22,361 compared and how they ranked relative to 3554 02:41:22,361 --> 02:41:23,361 economic feasibility. 3555 02:41:23,361 --> 02:41:26,301 that was submitted to you last week. 3556 02:41:26,301 --> 02:41:29,301 just looking at the combined off-site 3557 02:41:29,301 --> 02:41:31,301 infrastructure cost which is nearly 3558 02:41:31,301 --> 02:41:34,901 $1.2 million for sewer whether you do 15 3559 02:41:36,301 --> 02:41:41,101 lots for 56 or 94 lots, and you add in 3560 02:41:41,301 --> 02:41:43,301 the on site costs ranging from 3561 02:41:43,301 --> 02:41:46,301 $5.4 million fending on the alternative, 3562 02:41:47,301 --> 02:41:50,901 the cost her unit, including home 3563 02:41:53,301 --> 02:41:55,301 development but subdivision costs is 3564 02:41:55,301 --> 02:41:58,901 three times higher under the existing 3565 02:41:59,301 --> 02:42:02,301 zoning alternative and 50% higher for 3566 02:42:02,301 --> 02:42:04,301 the [inaudible] 3567 02:42:04,301 --> 02:42:07,301 when you look at all costs and compare 3568 02:42:07,301 --> 02:42:10,301 it to the market price given market 3569 02:42:10,301 --> 02:42:13,301 prices in granite bay, 16-lot 3570 02:42:13,301 --> 02:42:16,901 alternative, would produce a loss of 3571 02:42:18,301 --> 02:42:20,301 over half a million dollars per lot. 3572 02:42:20,301 --> 02:42:23,301 the 400 lot subdivision is over $55,000 3573 02:42:23,301 --> 02:42:24,301 a lot. 3574 02:42:24,301 --> 02:42:28,241 I may not be the brightest bulb in the 3575 02:42:28,241 --> 02:42:31,841 chandelier, but banks don't loan money 3576 02:42:32,241 --> 02:42:34,241 to projects that show losses on a 3577 02:42:34,241 --> 02:42:35,241 performa. 3578 02:42:35,241 --> 02:42:37,241 that project can be built. 3579 02:42:37,241 --> 02:42:40,241 it's at the level that is economically 3580 02:42:40,241 --> 02:42:41,241 feasible if the marketplace. 3581 02:42:41,241 --> 02:42:44,241 with that our project team will answer 3582 02:42:44,241 --> 02:42:47,241 any questions that the board may have. 3583 02:42:47,241 --> 02:42:48,241 we would ask mr.

none of this 3937 02:58:36,341 --> 02:58:38,341 would be necessary. 3938 02:58:38,341 --> 02:58:40,341 today you'll hear from your community. 3939 02:58:40,341 --> 02:58:43,941 we have over 900 citizens defending our 3940 02:58:46,341 --> 02:58:47,341 community plan. 3941 02:58:47,341 --> 02:58:49,341 800 signatures that support no changes 3942 02:58:49,341 --> 02:58:50,341 to the plan. 3943 02:58:50,341 --> 02:58:53,341 I know you've received those letters. 3944 02:58:53,341 --> 02:58:56,341 granite bay is growing from a rural 3945 02:58:56,341 --> 02:58:57,341 community to a suburban community. 3946 02:58:57,341 --> 02:59:00,341 this project changes the current zoning 3947 02:59:00,341 --> 02:59:03,341 from 16 homes to 56 single one and 3948 02:59:03,341 --> 02:59:05,341 two-storey family homes. 3949 02:59:05,341 --> 02:59:09,341 it preserves none of the rural character 3950 02:59:09,341 --> 02:59:11,341 of the 16.3-acres. 3951 02:59:11,341 --> 02:59:14,341 it eliminates the ag designation. 3952 02:59:16,341 --> 02:59:18,341 this property which hasn't been pointed 3953 02:59:18,341 --> 02:59:22,341 out is surrounded by one up to four acre 3954 02:59:22,341 --> 02:59:23,341 parcels. 3955 02:59:23,341 --> 02:59:26,281 those people have sheep, goats, I think 3956 02:59:26,281 --> 02:59:28,281 there is a horse there. 3957 02:59:28,281 --> 02:59:30,281 what this property is doing, it's 3958 02:59:30,281 --> 02:59:34,481 dumping a little bit citrus heights into 3959 02:59:40,281 --> 02:59:41,281 granite bay. 3960 02:59:41,281 --> 02:59:43,281 it was zoned to fit in with the 3961 02:59:43,281 --> 02:59:45,281 surrounding parcels. 3962 02:59:48,280 --> 02:59:52,280 what they're doing is taking that away. 3963 02:59:52,280 --> 02:59:54,281 the variance that is requested does not 3964 02:59:54,281 --> 02:59:57,881 even meet the county zoning ordinance. 3965 02:59:58,281 --> 03:00:00,281 that is explained in the letter I sent 3966 03:00:00,281 -->

now two light changes to travel 3970 03:00:13,281 --> 03:00:16,281 from east roseville parkway to old 3971 03:00:16,281 --> 03:00:18,281 auburn boulevard. 3972 03:00:18,281 --> 03:00:22,281 and that's a distance of 4/10 of a mile. 3973 03:00:22,281 --> 03:00:24,281 I timed it yesterday because I was stuck 3974 03:00:24,281 --> 03:00:26,281 as I always am. 3975 03:00:26,281 --> 03:00:28,281 our community plan was written to 3976 03:00:28,281 --> 03:00:30,281 protect our rural way of life. 3977 03:00:30,281 --> 03:00:33,281 it's been destroyed as you've 3978 03:00:34,281 --> 03:00:36,281 continually approved projects that 3979 03:00:36,281 --> 03:00:39,281 require massive changes to our granite 3980 03:00:39,281 --> 03:00:40,281 bay community plan. 3981 03:00:40,281 --> 03:00:42,281 it's called a community plan because 3982 03:00:42,281 --> 03:00:45,281 that's what the community wants. 3983 03:00:45,281 --> 03:00:47,281 it should not be overridden by a small 3984 03:00:47,281 --> 03:00:49,281 number of individuals. 3985 03:00:49,281 --> 03:00:52,281 I urge you to consider the voting record 3986 03:00:52,281 --> 03:00:55,281 of our planning commission and our board 3987 03:00:55,281 --> 03:00:56,281 of supervisors. 3988 03:00:56,281 --> 03:00:58,281 several years ago, one of you asked at 3989 03:00:58,281 --> 03:01:02,281 one of these meetings why does the 3990 03:01:02,281 --> 03:01:05,281 county approve these plans if it's not 3991 03:01:05,281 --> 03:01:07,281 going to adhere to them? 3992 03:01:07,281 --> 03:01:09,281 I'm asking you that question again 3993 03:01:09,281 --> 03:01:10,281 today. 3994 03:01:10,281 --> 03:01:12,281 why spend years developing 3995 03:01:12,281 --> 03:01:14,281 carefully-drafted award-winning 3996 03:01:15,281 --> 03:01:18,281 community plans if you're not going to 3997 03:01:18,281 --> 03:01:19,281 defend them for us? 3998 03:01:19,281 --> 03:01:22,281 what about our property rights? 3999 03:01:22,281 --> 03:01:24,281 this is not progress, it is 4000 03:01:24,281 --> 03:01:26,281 urbanization. 4001 03:01:26,281 --> 03:01:28,281 [applause] 4002 03:01:30,221 --> 03:01:32,221 >> I'm mark guzzen. 4003 03:01:39,221 --> 03:01:42,221 I'm the past president of the eureka 4004 03:01:42,221 --> 03:01:45,221 school foundation and sit on the board 4005 03:01:45,221 --> 03:01:47,221 of e.s.f. 4006 03:01:47,221 --> 03:01:50,221 e.s.f. Is a volunteer organization 4007 03:01:50,221 --> 03:01:53,821 chartered with raising private funds to 4008 03:01:54,221 --> 03:01:58,221 augment the public school budget in the 4009 03:01:58,221 --> 03:02:00,221 eureka school district. 4010 03:02:00,221 --> 03:02:04,221 there is not much controversy in the 4011 03:02:04,221 --> 03:02:07,221 comment that public education in granite 4012 03:02:07,221 --> 03:02:09,221 bay is one of the cornerstones of the 4013 03:02:09,221 --> 03:02:11,221 community and one of the primary reasons 4014 03:02:11,221 --> 03:02:15,421 many -- many people choose -- many 4015 03:02:18,221 --> 03:02:19,221 people choose to live there. 4016 03:02:19,221 --> 03:02:22,221 it maintains the property values and 4017 03:02:22,221 --> 03:02:24,221 economic viability of the community and 4018 03:02:24,221 --> 03:02:26,221 in fact, raising great citizens. 4019 03:02:26,221 --> 03:02:30,421 I think that this project helps offset 4020 03:02:31,161 --> 03:02:34,161 some of the risks that we have to that 4021 03:02:34,161 --> 03:02:37,161 quality education by bringing more 4022 03:02:38,161 --> 03:02:41,161 families into the district and 4023 03:02:42,161 --> 03:02:44,161 offsetting some of the declining 4024 03:02:44,161 --> 03:02:46,161 enrollment we've seen over the past 10 4025 03:02:46,161 --> 03:02:47,161 plus years. 4026 03:02:47,161 --> 03:02:52,161 I think that it also brings in -- is 4027 03:02:52,161 --> 03:02:54,161 likely to bring in folks that are more 4028 03:02:54,161 --> 03:02:57,161 committed because they are part of the 4029 03:02:57,161 --> 03:03:00,761 granite bay community and farming both 4030 03:03:01,161 --> 03:03:03,161 volunteerism as well as financially 4031 03:03:03,161 --> 03:03:06,161 supporting many opportunities that we 4032 03:03:06,161 --> 03:03:10,361 have to augment the public funding of 4033 03:03:11,161 --> 03:03:12,161 education. 4034 03:03:12,161 --> 03:03:14,161 which are critically important to 4035 03:03:14,161 --> 03:03:15,161 maintaining the quality of the 4036 03:03:15,161 --> 03:03:16,161 education. 4037 03:03:16,161 --> 03:03:18,561 and consequently maintaining the 4038 03:03:19,161 --> 03:03:21,161 cornerstone of the community. 4039 03:03:21,161 --> 03:03:24,161 so, in summary, I'd like you to approve 4040 03:03:24,161 --> 03:03:27,761 this project and help maintain the 4041 03:03:28,161 --> 03:03:31,101 quality of education in granite bay. 4042 03:03:31,101 --> 03:03:32,101 thank you. 4043 03:03:32,101 --> 03:03:34,101 >> I'm paul verassy. 4044 03:03:45,101 --> 03:03:47,101 I'm one of the landowners and I keep 4045 03:03:47,101 --> 03:03:49,101 getting the information that I graded my 4046 03:03:49,101 --> 03:03:51,101 property incorrectly. 4047 03:03:51,101 --> 03:03:53,101 all my property was graded per plan, per 4048 03:03:53,101 --> 03:03:54,101 the county. 4049 03:03:54,101 --> 03:03:56,101 it was all approved by county. 4050 03:03:56,101 --> 03:03:57,101 just to clarify that. 4051 03:03:57,101 --> 03:04:00,101 I didn't grade anything different than 4052 03:04:00,101 --> 03:04:04,101 what the county approved by my grader. 4053 03:04:04,101 --> 03:04:06,101 the water is doing what it's supposed to 4054 03:04:06,101 --> 03:04:07,101 do. 4055 03:04:07,101 --> 03:04:08,101 if the pipe is too small, that's what 4056 03:04:08,101 --> 03:04:10,101 the county approved at the time. 4057 03:04:10,101 --> 03:04:14,101 my comment is the rezoning for the 4058 03:04:14,101 --> 03:04:17,101 greater public necessity and welfare 4059 03:04:18,101 --> 03:04:19,101 requires such an amendment. 4060 03:04:19,101 --> 03:04:22,101 the property proposed demonstrate none 4061 03:04:22,101 --> 03:04:24,101 of the above and destructive to the 4062 03:04:24,101 --> 03:04:26,101 convenience and general welfare of the 4063 03:04:26,101 --> 03:04:28,101 greater number of residents served by 4064 03:04:28,101 -->

objectives, lots comparable to 4068 03:04:42,410 --> 03:04:45,410 eckerman, but they are not. 4069 03:04:45,410 --> 03:04:48,410 they were built in the '50s. 4070 03:04:48,410 --> 03:04:51,641 24 hours on annabelle and eckerman are 4071 03:04:53,410 --> 03:04:55,410 under the half acre lot size. 4072 03:04:55,410 --> 03:04:59,241 the lot sizes on annabelle and eckerman. 4073 03:05:00,410 --> 03:05:03,410 it's a difference of 250 percent. 4074 03:05:04,410 --> 03:05:06,410 that's not comparable. 4075 03:05:07,410 --> 03:05:09,410 studies obtain. 4076 03:05:09,410 --> 03:05:11,410 this may provide opportunities for 4077 03:05:11,410 --> 03:05:14,410 generating new students in the school 4078 03:05:14,410 --> 03:05:15,410 district. 4079 03:05:15,410 --> 03:05:17,410 we have a loss by

--> 03:05:24,410 each school costs the district $15,000 4084 03:05:24,410 --> 03:05:27,410 yearly for the student funding of $8,000 4085 03:05:27,410 --> 03:05:28,410 a year. 4086 03:05:28,410 -->

03:05:39,981 to recover some of the cost we're losing 4090 03:05:39,981 --> 03:05:40,981 in the students. 4091 03:05:40,981 --> 03:05:42,981 providing a park. 4092 03:05:42,981 --> 03:05:45,981 in

build the 16 homes 4110 03:06:48,921 --> 03:06:51,921 for what the cost is then there is 4111 03:06:51,921 --> 03:06:53,921 something wrong with the developer. 4112 03:06:53,921 --> 03:06:55,921 there

--> 03:16:35,381 air quality results in fewer vehicles 4339 03:16:35,381 --> 03:16:37,381 with less than significant air quality 4340 03:16:37,381 --> 03:16:38,381 impacts. 4341 03:16:38,381 --> 03:16:40,381 greenhouse gas emissions as zoned would 4342 03:16:40,381 --> 03:16:43,381 result in fewer residential units and 4343 03:16:43,381 --> 03:16:46,381 greenhouse gas emissions would be less 4344 03:16:46,381 --> 03:16:47,381 than the project because there are fewer 4345 03:16:47,381 --> 03:16:48,381 units. 4346 03:16:48,381 --> 03:16:51,381 noise as zoned would not include a park 4347 03:16:51,381 --> 03:16:52,381 which would have no impact on new 4348 03:16:52,381 --> 03:16:55,381 residents or on existing residents 4349 03:16:55,381 --> 03:16:57,381 neighbors related to the noise generated 4350 03:16:57,381 --> 03:16:59,381 by park users. 4351 03:16:59,381 --> 03:17:01,381 hydrology and water quality. 4352 03:17:01,381 --> 03:17:05,381 this project would result in less than 4353 03:17:05,381 --> 03:17:08,381 impervious surface and have potential 4354 03:17:10,381 --> 03:17:11,381 for flooding. 4355 03:17:11,381 --> 03:17:13,781 aesthetics, transportation, air quality, 4356 03:17:15,381 --> 03:17:16,381 greenhouse gas. 4357 03:17:16,381 --> 03:17:18,381 hydrology and water quality, your own 4358 03:17:18,381 --> 03:17:21,381 planning staff has identified as zoned 4359 03:17:21,381 --> 03:17:23,381 as superior alternative. 4360 03:17:23,381 --> 03:17:25,381 contrary to the analysis of utilities 4361 03:17:25,381 --> 03:17:27,381 and service systems, the zoned 4362 03:17:27,381 --> 03:17:30,321 alternative provides 40 units less than 4363 03:17:30,321 --> 03:17:31,321 the proposal. 4364 03:17:31,321 --> 03:17:33,321 this would result in fewer residents. 4365 03:17:33,321 --> 03:17:37,321 the 16 units built per staff are of 4366 03:17:37,321 --> 03:17:39,321 social benefit since there are almost 4367 03:17:39,321 --> 03:17:42,321 500,000 square feet of senior living 4368 03:17:43,321 --> 03:17:44,321 proposed. 4369 03:17:44,321 --> 03:17:46,321 32 units is less than 56. 4370 03:17:46,321 --> 03:17:48,321 so the demand for the utilities and 4371 03:17:48,321 --> 03:17:50,321 services systems would be less than 4372 03:17:50,321 --> 03:17:52,321 described for the proposal. 4373 03:17:52,321 --> 03:17:54,321 total number of units draining to the 4374 03:17:54,321 --> 03:17:57,321 waste water treatment system would be 4375 03:17:57,321 --> 03:18:00,321 significantly less than provided by the 4376 03:18:00,321 --> 03:18:01,321 proposal. 4377 03:18:01,321 --> 03:18:04,321 even with six bathrooms for 16 units 4378 03:18:04,321 --> 03:18:07,921 total 96, the project would produce at 4379 03:18:08,321 --> 03:18:10,721 least 2.5 bathrooms or 340 bathrooms. 4380 03:18:15,321 --> 03:18:17,321 so it generates less demand. 4381 03:18:17,321 --> 03:18:20,321 if he last mac meeting we were told that 4382 03:18:20,321 --> 03:18:22,321 water was not an issue in placer county. 4383 03:18:22,321 --> 03:18:25,321 even here two families per acre will use 4384 03:18:25,321 --> 03:18:28,261 less than four families per acre for 4385 03:18:28,261 --> 03:18:30,261 every alternative. 4386 03:18:32,261 --> 03:18:35,261 the alternative is superior and less 4387 03:18:35,261 --> 03:18:37,261 impactful and should be supported. 4388 03:18:37,261 --> 03:18:41,261 I ask you please do not look at this 4389 03:18:41,261 --> 03:18:45,461 proposal and think it's an infill with 4390 03:18:46,261 --> 03:18:48,261 high density. 4391 03:18:48,261 --> 03:18:50,261 it's a high density project that does 4392 03:18:50,261 --> 03:18:51,261 not belong in this neighborhood. 4393 03:18:51,261 --> 03:18:54,261 we're fine with developing the land as 4394 03:18:54,261 --> 03:18:57,261 the granite bay community proposes. 4395 03:18:57,261 --> 03:18:58,261 thank you. 4396 03:18:58,261 --> 03:19:00,261 [applause] 4397 03:19:01,261 --> 03:19:04,861 >> good

who has over 15 4401 03:19:16,261 --> 03:19:18,261 years experience as a senior resource 4402 03:19:18,261 --> 03:19:21,261 analyst with the state water resources. 4403 03:19:21,261 --> 03:19:25,261 after her careful review of the e.I.r., 4404 03:19:25,261 --> 03:19:27,261 it can be concluded they failed to 4405 03:19:27,261 --> 03:19:31,461 comply with the requirements of the ceqa 4406 03:19:34,201 --> 03:19:35,201 code. 4407 03:19:35,201 --> 03:19:38,201 this is not in compliance with the 4408 03:19:38,201 --> 03:19:40,201 placer county code. 4409 03:19:40,201 --> 03:19:43,801 because did conflicts with several -- 4410 03:19:45,201 --> 03:19:48,201 approval would go against government 4411 03:19:48,201 --> 03:19:50,601 code 65000 and government code 6647345 4412

03:20:07,201 the d.e.I.r. And e.I.r. And drainage 4416 03:20:07,201 --> 03:20:10,201 study failed to conduct a complete and 4417 03:20:10,201 --> 03:20:12,201 accurate analysis can have the hydrology 4418 03:20:12,201 --> 03:20:14,201 and water quality impacts and the 4419 03:20:14,201 --> 03:20:17,201 documents do not conform to the own 4420 03:20:17,201 --> 03:20:19,201 mandated reporting requirements. 4421 03:20:19,201 --> 03:20:23,201 these do not entail the calculations for 4422 03:20:23,201 --> 03:20:26,201 complete analysis, omit key data. 4423 03:20:29,201 --> 03:20:32,201 the initial hydrology reports are 4424 03:20:32,201 --> 03:20:33,201 inconsistent. 4425 03:20:33,201 --> 03:20:35,201 the water quality study shows 4426 03:20:35,201 --> 03:20:37,201 approximately 30% more impervious 4427 03:20:39,201 --> 03:20:42,201 service than the original report and 4428 03:20:42,201 --> 03:20:44,201 total runoff volumes. 4429 03:20:44,201 --> 03:20:46,201 this is contradictory. 4430 03:20:47,201 --> 03:20:49,201 inaccuracies are provided in her 4431 03:20:49,201 --> 03:20:51,201 detailed letter which will be attached. 4432 03:20:51,201 --> 03:20:53,601 the at the least. 4433 03:20:55,201 --> 03:20:57,201 the e.I.r.

is dale monson. 4460 03:22:25,141 --> 03:22:28,810 I was a member of the committee that 4461 03:22:28,810 --> 03:22:31,681 rewrote the granite bay community plan. 4462 03:22:32,810 --> 03:22:35,810 I think many of us on that plan 4463 03:22:35,810 --> 03:22:37,810 understand that when you have vacant 4464 03:22:37,810 --> 03:22:41,810 land that the owner has the ability to 4465 03:22:41,810 --> 03:22:43,810 develop that land. 4466 03:22:43,810 --> 03:22:46,681 however, the granite bay community plan 4467 03:22:47,810 --> 03:22:50,810 is a serious, serious document. 4468 03:22:50,810 --> 03:22:52,810 we had developers on that. 4469 03:22:52,810 --> 03:22:54,810 there were a lot of compromises made. 4470 03:22:54,810 --> 03:22:56,810 and I think one of the things that 4471 03:22:56,810 --> 03:23:00,810 causes the community to be so up in arms 4472 03:23:00,810 --> 03:23:04,281 over this particular project and I don't 4473 03:23:05,810 --> 03:23:08,810 think I've sat in a mac community in the 4474 03:23:08,810 --> 03:23:12,810 last 15 years and have somebody stand up 4475 03:23:12,810 --> 03:23:14,810 and talk about recall. 4476 03:23:14,810 --> 03:23:18,810 that has been unheard in granite bay 4477 03:23:18,810 --> 03:23:20,810 because we've been able to compromise on 4478 03:23:20,810 --> 03:23:24,810 things like the granite bay plan and you 4479 03:23:24,810 --> 03:23:27,810 guys have backed us to a degree. 4480 03:23:27,810 --> 03:23:29,210 that's all I want to say about that. 4481 03:23:29,210 --> 03:23:30,210 but there is a bigger problem. 4482 03:23:30,210 --> 03:23:33,210 the bigger problem is those of us that 4483 03:23:33,210 --> 03:23:37,210 live in granite bay take our life in our 4484 03:23:37,210 --> 03:23:41,221 own hands when we travel on douglas 4485 03:23:44,210 --> 03:23:46,210 boulevard and try to cross douglas 4486 03:23:46,210 --> 03:23:49,210 boulevard to go shopping at sierra ponds 4487 03:23:49,210 --> 03:23:52,210 or something like that and here again, 4488 03:23:52,210 --> 03:23:56,821 you're going to say okay to a project 4489 03:23:57,210 --> 03:23:59,210 where people have to come out and can't 4490 03:23:59,210 --> 03:24:01,210 even make a left turn. 4491 03:24:01,210 --> 03:24:04,210 they can't go north, as I understand. 4492 03:24:04,210 --> 03:24:07,210 they have to go right and make a right 4493 03:24:07,210 --> 03:24:10,621 turn on over-subscribed roadway that is 4494 03:24:15,210 --> 03:24:18,621 dangerous already because of the flow 4495 03:24:19,210 --> 03:24:20,210 traffic. 4496 03:24:20,210 --> 03:24:23,210 I don't think that's what's his name's 4497 03:24:23,210 --> 03:24:25,210 problem. 4498 03:24:25,210 --> 03:24:27,210 that is your problem that you need to 4499 03:24:27,210 --> 03:24:29,961 sit down, I have a copy of your 4500 03:24:29,961 --> 03:24:31,961 transportation plan, there is nothing in 4501 03:24:31,961 --> 03:24:36,761 there about, that I saw, I could be 4502 03:24:36,961 --> 03:24:39,961 mistaken, nothing I saw about sierra 4503 03:24:39,961 --> 03:24:40,961 college. 4504 03:24:40,961 --> 03:24:42,961 I saw nothing about douglas boulevard. 4505 03:24:42,961 --> 03:24:45,961 just remember, many of us here feel 4506 03:24:45,961 --> 03:24:48,961 we're taking our life in our hands when 4507 03:24:48,961 --> 03:24:52,961 we cross either one of those and you've 4508 03:24:52,961 --> 03:24:54,961 added one project on top of the other 4509 03:24:54,961 --> 03:24:58,561 and it's like we have transportation 4510 03:24:58,961 --> 03:24:59,961 galore. 4511 03:24:59,961 --> 03:25:00,961 we do not. 4512 03:25:00,961 --> 03:25:02,961 [applause] 4513 03:25:03,961 --> 03:25:08,761 >> so I am speaking on the record here. 4514 03:25:14,961 --> 03:25:16,961 I'm ulysses ludwick. 4515 03:25:17,961 --> 03:25:19,961 I leave in granite bay. 4516 03:25:19,961 --> 03:25:22,961 I moved up here because it's rural and 4517 03:25:22,961 --> 03:25:23,961 we love the schools. 4518 03:25:23,961 --> 03:25:26,961 don't want to see them blown up. 4519 03:25:26,961 --> 03:25:29,901 I want to point out on the proposed 4520 03:25:29,901 --> 03:25:31,901 project site, the developer shows it way 4521 03:25:31,901 --> 03:25:34,901 back where it looks like it's a dense 4522 03:25:34,901 --> 03:25:35,901 area. 4523 03:25:35,901 --> 03:25:37,901 you can clearly see that it's completely 4524 03:25:37,901 --> 03:25:40,901 rural all around this parcel. 4525 03:25:40,901 --> 03:25:42,901 it goes quite far down. 4526 03:25:42,901 --> 03:25:44,901 I have a thumb drive we can actually 4527 03:25:44,901 --> 03:25:46,901 look at it where we're looking at this 4528 03:25:46,901 --> 03:25:50,901 property and three or four of the 4529 03:25:50,901 --> 03:25:52,901 properties south, it's quite rural. 4530 03:25:52,901 --> 03:25:55,901 it's not a dense area, as they say. 4531 03:25:55,901 --> 03:25:57,901 the project is not

03:35:09,421 it goes well for us. 4740 03:35:09,421 --> 03:35:10,421 thank you. 4741 03:35:10,421 --> 03:35:12,421 [applause] 4742 03:35:12,421 --> 03:35:14,421 >> good afternoon. 4743 03:35:20,421 --> 03:35:22,421 I'm chris johnson. 4744 03:35:22,421 --> 03:35:26,421 I live in granite bay on shadow brook 4745 03:35:26,421 --> 03:35:27,361 drive. 4746 03:35:27,361 --> 03:35:30,361 we started looking at homes from '87 but 4747 03:35:30,361 --> 03:35:32,361 moved here in 1988. 4748 03:35:37,361 --> 03:35:39,361 I worked for the east chicago planning 4749 03:35:39,361 --> 03:35:40,361 and redevelopment. 4750 03:35:40,361 --> 03:35:44,361 I know a little about what we're talking 4751 03:35:44,361 --> 03:35:45,361 about. 4752 03:35:45,361 --> 03:35:48,361 this project is pitched as an infill 4753 03:35:48,361 --> 03:35:49,361 when it's not. 4754 03:35:49,361 --> 03:35:50,361 this is a spot rezone. 4755 03:35:50,361 --> 03:35:52,761 basically, you're taking 16-acres 4756 03:35:54,361 --> 03:35:56,361 carving 16-acres out of 142-acres. 4757 03:35:56,361 --> 03:35:59,361 that is zoned as agriculture. 4758 03:36:00,361 --> 03:36:02,361 if the project is built from day one, 4759 03:36:02,361 --> 03:36:04,361 there will be a lot of conflicts because 4760 03:36:04,361 --> 03:36:06,361 the people with their small backyards 4761 03:36:06,361 --> 03:36:08,361 are not going to be happy about the 4762 03:36:08,361 --> 03:36:10,361 manure that is happening over the fence 4763 03:36:10,361 --> 03:36:11,361 from them. 4764 03:36:11,361 --> 03:36:13,361 there is always going to be tension. 4765 03:36:13,361 --> 03:36:16,361 another key thing about granite bay and 4766 03:36:16,361 --> 03:36:19,361 why I moved here is I don't know if you 4767 03:36:19,361 --> 03:36:21,361 know this or not, granite bay has the 4768 03:36:21,361 --> 03:36:24,361 highest home ownership percentage of any 4769 03:36:24,361 --> 03:36:28,301 city or community in the state at 89%. 4770 03:36:28,301 --> 03:36:29,301 you have a lot of people here. 4771 03:36:29,301 --> 03:36:33,301 you have 800 some odd people that signed 4772 03:36:33,301 --> 03:36:35,301 petitions and everything else. 4773 03:36:35,301 --> 03:36:37,301 home ownership means you're invested in 4774 03:36:37,301 --> 03:36:39,301 the community. 4775 03:36:39,301 --> 03:36:40,301 these are people that care about the 4776 03:36:40,301 --> 03:36:41,301 community. 4777 03:36:41,301 --> 03:36:42,301 that's why they're here and presenting 4778 03:36:42,301 --> 03:36:43,301 the case to you. 4779 03:36:43,301 --> 03:36:46,301 I don't know, you may or may not own a 4780 03:36:46,301 --> 03:36:49,301 home in granite bay, but it's a pretty 4781 03:36:49,301 --> 03:36:50,301 darned good community. 4782 03:36:50,301 --> 03:36:52,701 it's not necessarily elitist. 4783 03:36:53,301 --> 03:36:57,301 so many aspects of this project are in 4784 03:36:57,301 --> 03:36:59,301 complete opposition to the granite bay 4785 03:36:59,301 --> 03:37:00,301 plan. 4786 03:37:00,301 --> 03:37:02,301 our community developed over the years 4787 03:37:02,301 --> 03:37:05,301 since this -- and I've lived here since 4788 03:37:05,301 --> 03:37:08,301 the plan was approved in '89, it's the 4789 03:37:08,301 --> 03:37:10,301 foundation for why this is a community 4790 03:37:10,301 --> 03:37:12,301 that has a high percentage of 4791 03:37:12,301 --> 03:37:13,301 homeowners. 4792 03:37:13,301 --> 03:37:15,301 people invested and caring about the 4793 03:37:15,301 --> 03:37:16,301 community and want to make sure the 4794 03:37:16,301 --> 03:37:18,301 right things happen. 4795 03:37:19,301 --> 03:37:22,301 to disrupt the granite bay plan could to 4796 03:37:22,301 --> 03:37:24,301 build a project that only satisfies 4797 03:37:24,301 --> 03:37:27,241 developers wants shows a total disregard 4798 03:37:27,241 --> 03:37:28,241 for the community at large. 4799 03:37:28,241 --> 03:37:31,241 there is no compelling reason to build 4800 03:37:31,241 --> 03:37:33,241 at this density as the population is 4801 03:37:33,241 --> 03:37:36,241 only expected to increase at 5% over the 4802 03:37:36,241 --> 03:37:39,241 next 10 years, a total of 5%. 4803 03:37:39,241 --> 03:37:41,241 that's in the different studies the 4804 03:37:41,241 --> 03:37:42,241 county paid for. 4805 03:37:42,241 --> 03:37:44,241 if we build this project, it's going to 4806 03:37:44,241 --> 03:37:47,241 be the lowest quality, lowest value of 4807 03:37:47,241 --> 03:37:48,241 anything built since the plan was 4808 03:37:48,241 --> 03:37:49,241 approved. 4809 03:37:49,241 --> 03:37:53,241 why are we sacrificing good property for 4810 03:37:53,241 --> 03:37:54,241 this? 4811 03:37:54,241 --> 03:37:56,241 there is no good reason. 4812 03:37:56,241 --> 03:38:01,410 the only -- the only thing that bothers 4813 03:38:01,241 --> 03:38:04,241 me about this is our supervisor seems 4814 03:38:04,241 --> 03:38:06,241 committed to making this happen. 4815 03:38:06,241 --> 03:38:09,241 it's going to benefit his office suite 4816 03:38:09,241 --> 03:38:12,841 neighbor john tattersall at the same 4817 03:38:13,241 --> 03:38:15,241 address as kirk and damaging to the 4818 03:38:15,241 --> 03:38:17,241 entire community. 4819 03:38:17,241 --> 03:38:19,241 what I want you to do and think about 4820 03:38:19,241 --> 03:38:21,241 this, because we have so many projects 4821 03:38:21,241 --> 03:38:24,241 coming through, please reject this 4822 03:38:25,241 --> 03:38:26,241 project. 4823 03:38:26,241 --> 03:38:27,181 thank you. 4824 03:38:27,181 --> 03:38:28,181 [applause] 4825 03:38:28,181 --> 03:38:30,181 >> good afternoon. 4826 03:38:39,181 --> 03:38:41,181 I'm john bolter. 4827 03:38:41,181 --> 03:38:44,181 I never thought I'd have to be up here 4828 03:38:44,181 --> 03:38:46,181 and be discussing something like this. 4829 03:38:46,181 --> 03:38:50,381 I've lived in granite bay over 20 years. 4830 03:38:52,181 --> 03:38:54,181 before that I grew up in the bay area 4831 03:38:54,181 --> 03:38:56,181 and I watched every community in the bay 4832 03:38:56,181 --> 03:38:58,181 area do exactly what you're talking 4833 03:38:58,181 --> 03:38:59,181 about doing here. 4834 03:38:59,181 --> 03:39:03,381 taking one small infill project and then 4835 03:39:04,181 --> 03:39:05,181 there are more. 4836 03:39:05,181 --> 03:39:07,181 what you do is you take a community like 4837 03:39:07,181 --> 03:39:10,181 granite bay which is a great place to 4838 03:39:10,181 --> 03:39:12,181 live that is not dense, that's not west 4839 03:39:12,181 --> 03:39:14,181 roseville or other parts of placer 4840 03:39:14,181 --> 03:39:16,581 county, it's granite bay. 4841 03:39:17,181 --> 03:39:20,781 granite bay has a certain feel. 4842 03:39:23,181 --> 03:39:25,181 this says take one to three acres and 4843 03:39:25,181 --> 03:39:29,121 two do it two to four dwellings her ache 4844 03:39:29,121 --> 03:39:34,121 or more and put -- acre or more and let 4845 03:39:34,121 --> 03:39:37,121 them build 50 to 60% on a house. 4846 03:39:37,121 --> 03:39:40,121 I watched that in my lifetime and what 4847 03:39:40,121 --> 03:39:42,121 happens is there are more. 4848 03:39:42,121 --> 03:39:44,121 and it's like cockroaches. 4849 03:39:44,121 --> 03:39:46,121 when you see one there are more. 4850 03:39:46,121 --> 03:39:48,121 that's exactly what I see happening 4851 03:39:48,121 --> 03:39:49,121 here. 4852 03:39:49,121 --> 03:39:51,121 I could go through all the same numbers 4853 03:39:51,121 --> 03:39:52,121 that you heard from everybody else and 4854 03:39:52,121 --> 03:39:55,121 it doesn't make sense that you need 4855 03:39:55,121 --> 03:39:56,121 though hear from people that live here 4856 03:39:56,121 --> 03:39:58,121 that have lived here and raised their 4857 03:39:58,121 --> 03:40:00,121 kids here and the idea is that the 4858 03:40:00,121 --> 03:40:03,121 amount of space that we have doesn't 4859 03:40:03,121 --> 03:40:04,121 need to be jammed. 4860 03:40:04,121 --> 03:40:05,121 like the project that you're 4861 03:40:05,121 --> 03:40:06,121 considering. 4862 03:40:06,121 --> 03:40:10,921 so I am requesting that you deny this 4863 03:40:11,121 --> 03:40:13,121 project like it appears that most of 4864 03:40:13,121 --> 03:40:16,721 community has spoke about through the 4865 03:40:17,121 --> 03:40:18,121 process. 4866 03:40:18,121 --> 03:40:19,121 thank you. 4867 03:40:19,121 --> 03:40:20,121 [applause] 4868 03:40:20,121 --> 03:40:24,321 >> good morning, my name is sandy harris 4869 03:40:32,121 --> 03:40:34,121 and I live in granite bay. 4870 03:40:34,121 --> 03:40:36,121 the granite bay community association 4871 03:40:36,121 --> 03:40:40,121 had john come to our board meeting on a 4872 03:40:40,121 --> 03:40:41,121 couple of occasions. 4873 03:40:41,121 --> 03:40:43,121 we tried working with him. 4874 03:40:43,121 --> 03:40:45,121 we were overwhelmed with the density he 4875 03:40:45,121 --> 03:40:48,121 was borough posing for the projects. 4876 03:40:48,121 --> 03:40:50,121 we told him, talk to the neighbors and 4877 03:40:50,121 --> 03:40:52,121 come back with something more 4878 03:40:52,121 --> 03:40:53,121 reasonable. 4879 03:40:53,121 --> 03:40:54,121 starting with what he started and what 4880 03:40:54,121 --> 03:40:56,121 he's ended up with is what a lot of 4881 03:40:56,121 --> 03:40:59,721 people think is a development trick. 4882 03:41:00,121 --> 03:41:03,121 tell you we'll put in a hundred and 4883 03:41:03,121 --> 03:41:05,121 compromise for 50, that's not a win-win 4884 03:41:05,121 --> 03:41:06,121 at all. 4885 03:41:06,121 --> 03:41:08,121 the community association has supported 4886 03:41:08,121 --> 03:41:11,121 john on some of his other projects. 4887 03:41:11,121 --> 03:41:14,121 and he does do a nice job. 4888 03:41:14,121 --> 03:41:17,121 this isn't personal, john, I like him a 4889 03:41:17,121 --> 03:41:18,121 lot. 4890 03:41:18,121 --> 03:41:22,321 but this is not consistent with the 4891 03:41:23,121 --> 03:41:24,121 community plan. 4892 03:41:24,121 --> 03:41:25,121 we did a survey monkey. 4893 03:41:25,121 --> 03:41:28,610 the number one reason people move to 4894 03:41:28,610 --> 03:41:31,610 granite bay is the low density large 4895 03:41:31,610 --> 03:41:32,610 lots. 4896 03:41:32,610 --> 03:41:34,610 second reason is the rural character, 4897 03:41:34,610 --> 03:41:37,610 the third reason was the quality of 4898 03:41:37,610 --> 03:41:38,610 schools. 4899 03:41:38,610 --> 03:41:41,610 and surprising to me, folsom lake was 4900 03:41:41,610 --> 03:41:42,610 down at the bottom. 4901 03:41:42,610 --> 03:41:45,610 I thought most people came to our area 4902 03:41:45,610 --> 03:41:46,610 for the lake but they don't. 4903 03:41:46,610 --> 03:41:48,610 I'm concerned with the project. 4904 03:41:48,610 --> 03:41:50,610 they say they're going to have a 15-foot 4905 03:41:50,610 --> 03:41:52,610 landscape buffer. 4906 03:41:52,610 --> 03:41:54,610 it's going to be on the inside of the 4907 03:41:54,610 --> 03:41:55,610 fence. 4908 03:41:55,610 --> 03:41:58,610 how does that buffer the people who live 4909 03:41:58,610 --> 03:42:01,610 on the other side and how are they going 4910 03:42:01,610 --> 03:42:04,661 to control this easement for 15 feet, 4911 03:42:06,610 --> 03:42:08,610 the home owners association going to be 4912 03:42:08,610 --> 03:42:09,610 responsible for it? 4913 03:42:09,610 --> 03:42:11,610 how will they police it? 4914 03:42:11,610 --> 03:42:13,610 that buffer should be on the out side of 4915 03:42:13,610 --> 03:42:14,610 the fence. 4916 03:42:14,610 --> 03:42:15,610 another concern I have is about this 4917 03:42:15,610 --> 03:42:16,610 park. 4918 03:42:16,610 --> 03:42:20,610 it's a public park in a private gated 4919 03:42:20,610 --> 03:42:21,610 community. 4920 03:42:21,610 --> 03:42:22,610 the homeowners will have to pay for the 4921 03:42:22,610 --> 03:42:23,610 road. 4922 03:42:23,610 --> 03:42:25,610 they'll have to pay for gate. 4923 03:42:25,610 --> 03:42:28,100 they had to pay to maintain the park. 4924 03:42:28,100 --> 03:42:30,100 what's this going to do to this 4925 03:42:30,100 --> 03:42:33,100 affordable housing community when you 4926 03:42:34,100 --> 03:42:37,100 were to pay such high homeowners dues 4927 03:42:37,100 --> 03:42:38,100 for the maintenance? 4928 03:42:38,100 --> 03:42:40,100 the liability insurance will be high on 4929 03:42:40,100 --> 03:42:42,100 it and I think it will create parking 4930 03:42:42,100 --> 03:42:45,100 problems within this gated community 4931 03:42:46,100 --> 03:42:49,100 when the people using that park decide 4932 03:42:49,100 --> 03:42:50,100 to park on their streets. 4933 03:42:50,100 --> 03:42:53,100 I'm afraid that eventually the home 4934 03:42:53,100 --> 03:42:55,100 owners will get together and vote to do 4935 03:42:55,100 --> 03:42:57,100 away with that park and part of the 4936 03:42:57,100 --> 03:43:00,100 reason for this project is that they're 4937 03:43:00,100 --> 03:43:02,100 going to have a public park. 4938 03:43:02,100 --> 03:43:03,100 there needs to be a condition and 4939 03:43:03,100 --> 03:43:06,100 approvals if you decide to approve this 4940 03:43:06,100 --> 03:43:08,100 that

area chamber 5200 04:24:31,721 --> 04:24:33,721 of commerce. 5201 04:24:34,721 --> 04:24:36,721 our chamber proudly serves and as 5202 04:24:36,721 --> 04:24:38,721 served the community of granite bay 5203 04:24:38,721 --> 04:24:40,721 since 1999 when the chamber closed 5204 04:24:40,721 --> 04:24:42,721 its doors and we're here today to 5205 04:24:42,721 --> 04:24:46,321 support the park at granite bay. 5206 04:24:46,721 --> 04:24:48,721 we think one of the key things on 5207 04:24:48,721 --> 04:24:49,721 this is the housing option that there 5208 04:24:49,721 --> 04:24:50,721 provide. 5209 04:24:50,721 --> 04:24:54,321 we have heard about the declining 5210 04:25:00,721 --> 04:25:02,721 enrollment at eureka school and will 5211 04:25:02,721 --> 04:25:03,721 provide for young family come into 5212 04:25:03,721 --> 04:25:05,721 the area and start the 5213 04:25:05,721 --> 04:25:06,721 next-generation of people being 5214 04:25:06,721 --> 04:25:07,721 involved in the community,

04:25:17,661 --> 04:25:19,661 bay to enjoy and embracing their 5219 04:25:19,661 --> 04:25:23,661 motto, "live and play in granite bay." 5220 04:25:23,661 --> 04:25:25,661 this housing option is critical 5221 04:25:25,661 --> 04:25:27,661 for the workforce as we attempt to 5222 04:25:27,661 --> 04:25:31,861 bring in no ew jobs and provide 5223 04:25:32,661 --> 04:25:33,661 housing options and retain those 5224 04:25:33,661 --> 04:25:35,661 employees in the area and give them 5225 04:25:35,661 --> 04:25:38,661 places to live close to where they 5226 04:25:38,661 --> 04:25:42,861 work infill is in the easiest thing 5227 04:25:46,661 --> 04:25:49,661 to do and with that said, the park at 5228 04:25:49,661 --> 04:25:51,661 roseville -- park at granite 5229 04:25:51,661 --> 04:25:53,661 bay,

project that was adopted back in 2004. 5233 04:26:03,661 --> 04:26:04,661 and again, one size does not fit all 5234 04:26:04,661 --> 04:26:06,661 and I think we need to take that into 5235 04:26:06,661 --> 04:26:08,661 consideration. 5236 04:26:12,661 --> 04:26:13,661 with that we would encourage you to 5237 04:26:13,661 --> 04:26:15,601 adopt the planning commission's 5238 04:26:15,601

audience that have -- 5250 04:26:45,601 --> 04:26:47,601 I heard whispers that were here -- 5251 04:26:47,601 --> 04:26:51,601 paid to be here and I'm losing money 5252 04:26:51,601 --> 04:26:53,601 for being here. 5253 04:26:53,601 --> 04:26:57,601 this is a perfect example of a 5254 04:26:57,601 --> 04:26:58,601 granite fill project and you heard it 5255 04:26:58,601 --> 04:27:01,601 over and

04:27:11,601 but it's a great infill project with 5259 04:27:11,601 --> 04:27:12,601 smart planning that you already know 5260 04:27:12,601 --> 04:27:13,601 about. 5261 04:27:13,601 --> 04:27:14,541 so I would encourage you to consider 5262 04:27:14,541 --> 04:27:18,741 that as one of your basis of 5263 04:27:19,541 --> 04:27:21,541 approving this project. 5264 04:27:21,541 --> 04:27:22,541 this will also improve an eyesore. 5265 04:27:22,541 --> 04:27:25,541 I don't know if you have been by 5266 04:27:25,541 --> 04:27:27,541 there recently, but that whole 5267 04:27:27,541 --> 04:27:28,541 section, the island does not look 5268 04:27:28,541 --> 04:27:30,541 that great and when I drive by, this 5269 04:27:30,541 --> 04:27:33,541 will definitely improve a section of 5270 04:27:33,541 --> 04:27:37,141 sierra college that will make us 5271 04:27:39,541 --> 04:27:41,541 proud as granite bay residents to 5272 04:27:41,541 --> 04:27:43,941 have the improvement there. 5273 04:27:44,541 -->

04:27:52,541 --> 04:27:56,141 area are -- they are not 5277 04:28:01,541 --> 04:28:02,541 well-maintained and mismatched will 5278 04:28:02,541 --> 04:28:03,541 have a well-balanced approach to 5279 04:28:03,541 --> 04:28:06,541 maintenance and keep the resale value 5280 04:28:06,541 --> 04:28:07,541 at a level that I think this will 5281 04:28:07,541 --> 04:28:09,541 maintain 5282 04:28:09,541 --> 04:28:10,541 property values throughout the whole 5283 04:28:10,541 --> 04:28:12,541 island area. 5284 04:28:15,481 --> 04:28:18,481 the last thing I wanted to say there 5285 04:28:18,481 --> 04:28:20,481 are only four houses in granite bay 5286 04:28:20,481 --> 04:28:25,281 on an acre or more and each is 5287 04:28:26,481 --> 04:28:27,481 over a million-and-a-half dollars for 5288 04:28:27,481 --> 04:28:29,481 sale and there is one that is a 5289 04:28:29,481 --> 04:28:30,481 rundown house that is under a 5290 04:28:30,481 --> 04:28:34,681 million, but the rest are over a 5291 04:28:35,481 --> 04:28:36,481 million-and-a-half dollars and I 5292 04:28:36,481 --> 04:28:38,481 can't afford that and if I wanted to 5293 04:28:38,481 --> 04:28:41,481 move here and they are 1-acre lots I 5294 04:28:41,481 --> 04:28:43,481 couldn't afford a home on these lots. 5295 04:28:43,481 --> 04:28:46,481 so I think it's important for the 5296 04:28:46,481 --> 04:28:49,481 community to bring in other 5297 04:28:49,481 --> 04:28:51,481 professionals who want to live in 5298 04:28:51,481 --> 04:28:54,481 granite bay and attend the schools. 5299 04:28:54,481 --> 04:28:55,481 please support the project. 5300 04:28:55,481 --> 04:28:57,481 thank you. 5301 04:29:01,481 --> 04:29:03,481 >> good afternoon board of 5302 04:29:03,481 --> 04:29:05,481 supervisors I'm suzanne jones a 5303 04:29:05,481 --> 04:29:07,481 granite bay resident of 25 years. 5304 04:29:07,481 --> 04:29:09,481 the reason people move here is 5305 04:29:09,481 --> 04:29:10,481 because granite bay is a premiere 5306 04:29:10,481 --> 04:29:11,481 community. 5307 04:29:11,481 --> 04:29:15,421 I know you have heard a lot about its 5308 04:29:15,421 --> 04:29:16,421 rural atmosphere, but it's mostly 5309 04:29:16,421 --> 04:29:17,421 because it's premiere. 5310 04:29:17,421 --> 04:29:19,421 that is the reason why everyone wants 5311 04:29:19,421 --> 04:29:20,421 to come here. 5312 04:29:20,421 --> 04:29:24,421 it took my husband and I more than 20 5313 04:29:24,421 --> 04:29:26,421 years to get here. 5314 04:29:26,421 --> 04:29:28,421 nobody graduates from high school and 5315 04:29:28,421 --> 04:29:29,421 moves into granite bay. 5316 04:29:29,421 --> 04:29:30,421 and we certainly don't want to make 5317 04:29:30,421 --> 04:29:31,421 at the end of the community that you 5318 04:29:31,421 --> 04:29:35,210 can graduate from high school and 5319 04:29:35,421 --> 04:29:37,421 move into granite bay. 5320 04:29:37,421 --> 04:29:42,221 we are also not a bunch of nimbies 5321 04:29:43,421 --> 04:29:45,421 -- not in my backyard, but to 5322 04:29:45,421 --> 04:29:48,421 preserve the premiere quality of our 5323 04:29:48,421 --> 04:29:49,421 community and hence the granite bay 5324 04:29:49,421 --> 04:29:52,421 community plan and why we spent so 5325 04:29:52,421 --> 04:29:53,421 much time working on it. 5326 04:29:53,421 --> 04:29:55,421 supporters say we should be open to 5327 04:29:55,421 --> 04:29:57,421 change. 5328 04:30:01,421 --> 04:30:02,421 rather than changing our community, 5329 04:30:02,421 --> 04:30:05,421 there is roseville right next door to 5330 04:30:05,421 --> 04:30:06,421 us and roseville has gorgeous 5331 04:30:06,421 --> 04:30:09,421 communities that are high-density and 5332 04:30:09,421 --> 04:30:10,421 school within our school districts. 5333 04:30:10,421 --> 04:30:12,421 you don't have to live in granite bay 5334 04:30:12,421 --> 04:30:16,210 to be in our school districts. 5335 04:30:17,421 --> 04:30:18,421 speaking of schools if every house in 5336 04:30:18,421 --> 04:30:22,210 this development had two kids, that 5337 04:30:22,421 --> 04:30:25,421 would make 112 children that will not 5338 04:30:25,421 --> 04:30:29,621 have an impact on the population of 5339 04:30:33,421 --> 04:30:36,421 our schools or declining enrollments. 5340 04:30:39,421 --> 04:30:42,421 I'm on the placer county board of 5341 04:30:42,421 --> 04:30:44,421 education and I serve on the board 5342 04:30:44,421 --> 04:30:46,421 and the reason we have such a high 5343 04:30:46,421 --> 04:30:47,421 quality education is not because we 5344 04:30:47,421 --> 04:30:49,421 have a lot of students in our schools. 5345 04:30:49,421 --> 04:30:52,421 it's because we have quality 5346 04:30:53,421 --> 04:30:55,821 communities, and excellent teachers. 5347 04:30:58,421 --> 04:31:00,421 speaking of affordable the developer 5348 04:31:00,421 --> 04:31:01,421 previously stated at granite bay mac, 5349 04:31:01,421 --> 04:31:04,421 this was not an affordable community, 5350 04:31:04,421 --> 04:31:06,421 but I heard him say today he did 5351 04:31:06,421 --> 04:31:08,421 refer to it being affordable and 5352 04:31:08,421 --> 04:31:10,421 referred $800,000 homes. 5353 04:31:10,421 --> 04:31:14,210 not quite sure why $700,000 homes why 5354 04:31:15,361 --> 04:31:17,761 you referred to $800,000 to $1 5355 04:31:26,361 --> 04:31:29,361 million and young families aren't 5356 04:31:33,361 --> 04:31:35,361 able to afford these homes. 5357 04:31:35,361 --> 04:31:37,361 I understand the builder is a nice 5358 04:31:37,361 --> 04:31:39,361 guy and has a high quality product, 5359 04:31:39,361 --> 04:31:41,361 but this is a dressing nearly the 5360 04:31:41,361 --> 04:31:42,361 extremely high-density developments 5361 04:31:42,361 --> 04:31:44,361 that they are trying to just shove 5362 04:31:44,361 --> 04:31:46,361 down our throats in granite bay and 5363 04:31:46,361 --> 04:31:48,361 the impact it will have on 5364 04:31:48,361 --> 04:31:50,361 everything, traffic, people, the 5365 04:31:50,361 --> 04:31:52,361 community, the premiere quality. 5366 04:31:52,361 --> 04:31:55,361 now he was responsive to us early on 5367 04:31:55,361 --> 04:31:57,361 and he did reduce the density of his 5368 04:31:57,361 --> 04:32:01,361 project, but at some point in time he 5369 04:32:01,361 --> 04:32:02,361 did become unresponsive and refused 5370 04:32:02,361 --> 04:32:05,361 once he got to his lowest offer. 5371 04:32:05,361 --> 04:32:08,361 it's to say that you have 1500 5372 04:32:08,361 --> 04:32:09,361 signatures in support, but you have 5373 04:32:09,361 --> 04:32:10,361 the residents and not just a bunch of 5374 04:32:10,361 --> 04:32:12,361 secants. 5375 04:32:14,301 --> 04:32:16,301 and the commission, the planning 5376 04:32:16,301 --> 04:32:17,301 commission, when they argued this, 5377 04:32:17,301 --> 04:32:18,301 they said that we need projects like 5378 04:32:18,301 --> 04:32:20,301 this. 5379 04:32:22,301 --> 04:32:24,301 so the past based on five people 5380 04:32:24,301 --> 04:32:26,301 saying we need projects like this as 5381 04:32:26,301 --> 04:32:27,301 opposed to listening to all of us. 5382 04:32:27,301 --> 04:32:29,301 if I hear the board in your 5383 04:32:29,301 --> 04:32:30,301 deliberations say the reason you 5384 04:32:30,301 --> 04:32:33,301 think we should pass this is because 5385 04:32:33,301 --> 04:32:36,301 it's a good idea, or because we need 5386 04:32:36,301 --> 04:32:40,301 projects like this, then I will know 5387 04:32:40,301 --> 04:32:44,301 that all of our voices have fallen on 5388 04:32:44,301 --> 04:32:46,301 totally deaf ears, and this in our 5389 04:32:46,301 --> 04:32:47,301 mind will be substantial evidence 5390 04:32:47,301 --> 04:32:50,301 that you, the board of supervisors no 5391 04:32:50,301 --> 04:32:52,301 longer represent us. 5392 04:32:52,301 --> 04:32:53,301 thank you very much 5393 04:32:53,301 --> 04:32:55,301 [ applause ] 5394 04:33:03,301 --> 04:33:04,301 >> yes, 11-year resident of granite 5395 04:33:04,301 --> 04:33:05,301 bay and I want to commend staff for 5396 04:33:05,301 --> 04:33:07,301 the work that they have done. 5397 04:33:07,301 --> 04:33:10,301 this is sensible planning, guys. 5398 04:33:10,301 --> 04:33:13,301 I get that it's -- this is on 5399 04:33:13,301 -->

04:33:24,241 --> 04:33:28,241 people went to be on 2-5-acre lot 5403 04:33:28,241 --> 04:33:30,241 sizes and this is not that. 5404 04:33:30,241 --> 04:33:32,241 this makes perfect sense for this 5405 04:33:32,241 --> 04:33:33,241 particular area. 5406 04:33:33,241 --> 04:33:35,241 I want to say also about the 5407 04:33:35,241 --> 04:33:36,241 developer. 5408 04:33:36,241 --> 04:33:37,241 I know

douglas and barton and 5412 04:33:49,241 --> 04:33:52,841 that is a first-class project and 5413 04:33:54,241 --> 04:33:56,241 expect nothing less an that. 5414 04:33:56,241 --> 04:33:59,241 it's a first-class project we can all 5415 04:33:59,241 --> 04:34:00,241 be supportive of and feel proud about 5416 04:34:00,241 --> 04:34:04,241 in our community here in granite bay 5417 04:34:04,241 -->

04:34:22,381 was a resident -- I'm a landowner 5421 04:34:23,181 --> 04:34:24,181 and lived next to the project for ten 5422 04:34:24,181 --> 04:34:26,181 years. 5423 04:34:26,181 --> 04:34:27,181 I'm fully in support of it and I 5424 04:34:27,181 --> 04:34:29,181 agree with a couple of the last 5425 04:34:29,181 --> 04:34:31,181 people have said, you know this? 5426 04:34:31,181 --> 04:34:34,181 this is sierra college boulevard, 5427 04:34:34,181 --> 04:34:35,181 major thoroughfare and if you want it 5428 04:34:35,181 --> 04:34:37,181 live in the rural area, you move. 5429 04:34:37,181 --> 04:34:41,381 I moved recently a year ago to 5430 04:34:44,181 --> 04:34:47,181 auburn, ten acres where I can shot 5431 04:34:47,181 --> 04:34:49,181 guns and road my horse authentic I 5432 04:34:49,181 --> 04:34:51,181 was one of two people that had any 5433 04:34:51,181 --> 04:34:54,181 life stock and I'm the ones with the 5434 04:34:54,181 --> 04:34:56,181 horse and manure and I don't live 5435 04:34:56,181 --> 04:34:58,181 there any more. 5436 04:34:58,181 --> 04:34:59,181 one person has a cow. 5437 04:34:59,181 --> 04:35:02,181 there are no other people that have 5438

have that 5441 04:35:09,181 --> 04:35:11,181 possibility, because this is not 5442 04:35:11,181 --> 04:35:14,121 going to change the zoning of any of 5443 04:35:14,121 --> 04:35:15,121 the people outside of this actual 5444 04:35:15,121 --> 04:35:17,121 project. 5445 04:35:17,121 --> 04:35:20,121 I think this project is a great 5446 04:35:20,121 --> 04:35:24,121 infill in my mind, if you look at the 5447 04:35:24,121 --> 04:35:26,121 global zoom out a little bit and the 5448 04:35:26,121 --> 04:35:28,521 area surrounded by houses. 5449 04:35:29,121 --> 04:35:30,121 it's surrounded by major roads and if 5450 04:35:30,121 --> 04:35:33,121 you want to live in the rural area, 5451 04:35:33,121 --> 04:35:35,121 to live on sneaky backroads and not 5452 04:35:35,121 --> 04:35:36,121 major roads that eventually are going 5453 04:35:36,121 --> 04:35:39,121 to be like a freeway, connecting the 5454 04:35:39,121 --> 04:35:40,121 80 and 50 corridor. 5455 04:35:40,121 --> 04:35:42,121 so I'm fully in support of this 5456 04:35:42,121 --> 04:35:43,121 project. 5457 04:35:43,121 --> 04:35:47,121 and I hope that you guys vote it 5458 04:35:47,121 --> 04:35:48,121 through. 5459 04:35:48,121

applicant 5497 04:37:19,100 --> 04:37:21,100 cannot have a viable economic project 5498 04:37:21,100 --> 04:37:23,401 with 16 homes without entitlements 5499 04:37:24,100 --> 04:37:25,100 for rezone

show that the 5506 04:37:40,100 --> 04:37:41,100 alternative is financially 5507 04:37:41,100 --> 04:37:42,100 infeasible." testimony in previous 5508 04:37:42,100 --> 04:37:43,100 hearings contend

approved to the 5538 04:38:41,941 --> 04:38:43,941 benefit of an applicant who doesn't 5539 04:38:43,941 --> 04:38:45,941 even own the land now and property 5540 04:38:45,941 --> 04:38:47,941 rights

04:39:02,941 --> 04:39:04,941 vote to deny the recommendation to 5550 04:39:04,941 --> 04:39:05,941 approve this project as submitted. 5551 04:39:05,941 --> 04:39:07,941 [ applause ] 5552 04:39:14,881 --> 04:39:16,881 >> that is all we have for group 3, 5553 04:39:16,881 --> 04:39:18,881 but we think we have group 4 people 5554 04:39:18,881 --> 04:39:20,881 in the audience or other people with 5555 04:39:20,881 --> 04:39:22,881 cards? 5556 04:39:32,881 --> 04:39:34,881 >> group 4 michael, representing 5557 04:39:37,881 --> 04:39:39,881 placer group sierra club, let's talk 5558 04:39:39,881 --> 04:39:42,881 infill and land use policy, one of 5559 04:39:42,881 --> 04:39:43,881 our primary orientation s to support 5560 04:39:43,881 --> 04:39:45,881 infill development. 5561 04:39:45,881 --> 04:39:47,881 you don't need this project to have 5562 04:39:47,881 --> 04:39:48,881 infill development and this project 5563 04:39:48,881 --> 04:39:50,881 is ready and this land is ready with 5564 04:39:50,881 --> 04:39:51,881 services and everything that you 5565 04:39:51,881 --> 04:39:54,881 need for infill development and 5566 04:39:54,881 --> 04:39:55,881 infill development to develop it 5567 04:39:55,881 --> 04:39:58,881 according to the existing plan. 5568 04:39:59,881 --> 04:40:02,881 of course we're not only concerned 5569 04:40:02,881 --> 04:40:04,881 about infill and keeping things in 5570 04:40:04,881 --> 04:40:06,881 urban areas, we're also concerned 5571 04:40:06,881 --> 04:40:09,881 about greenhouse gas emissions and 5572 04:40:09,881 --> 04:40:12,281 unnecessary addition of greenhouse 5573 04:40:13,881 --> 04:40:14,881 gas from overdevelopment, 5574 04:40:14,881 --> 04:40:16,881 transportation issues. 5575 04:40:17,881 --> 04:40:20,881 everybody is talking about 56 units. 5576 04:40:22,881 --> 04:40:25,881 well, secondary homes are permitted 5577 04:40:25,881 --> 04:40:27,881 on lots of 5,000 square foot. 5578 04:40:27,881 --> 04:40:28,881 square feet. 5579 04:40:28,881 --> 04:40:30,881 so you are really talking about 5580 04:40:30,881 --> 04:40:31,881 potentially twice as many units on 5581 04:40:31,881 --> 04:40:33,881 these properties. 5582 04:40:33,881 --> 04:40:35,881 how did that 5,000 come about? 5583 04:40:35,881 --> 04:40:37,881 you may remember that a few months 5584 04:40:37,881 --> 04:40:40,881 ago it was a 150,000 square foot 5585 04:40:40,881 --> 04:40:43,881 minimum and you acted to change it to 5586 04:40:43,881 --> 04:40:44,881 5,000 square feet. 5587 04:40:44,881 --> 04:40:47,881 this issue came to the sierra club's 5588 04:40:47,881 --> 04:40:48,881 attention when someone complained to 5589 04:40:48,881 --> 04:40:52,881 us that a variance had been issued 5590 04:40:52,881 --> 04:40:54,881 for a secondary home, still when it 5591 04:40:54,881 --> 04:40:56,881 was 10,000 square feet and that is 5592 04:40:56,881 --> 04:40:59,881 how we discussed it at the placer 5593 04:40:59,881 --> 04:41:01,881 group board and got involved. 5594 04:41:01,881 --> 04:41:06,810 we have looked at two recent issues 5595 04:41:06,881 --> 04:41:08,881 approved by the zoning administrator 5596 04:41:08,881 --> 04:41:09,881 on 3-acre parcels and how were they 5597 04:41:09,881 --> 04:41:10,881 built? 5598 04:41:10,881 --> 04:41:12,881 they were locate where had they would 5599 04:41:12,881 --> 04:41:14,821 have the least impact on 3 acres and 5600 04:41:14,821 --> 04:41:17,821 the maximum impact on neighborhood 5601 04:41:17,821 --> 04:41:19,821 character and the neighbors. 5602 04:41:19,821 --> 04:41:20,821 unnecessary, doesn't even meet the 5603 04:41:20,821 --> 04:41:22,821 requirements for a variance. 5604 04:41:22,821 --> 04:41:24,821 so we are quite concerned that here 5605 04:41:24,821 --> 04:41:26,821 you have a situation where people 5606 04:41:26,821 --> 04:41:30,821 will come in for variances even on 5607 04:41:30,821 --> 04:41:31,821 these tiny to 5,000 square foot 5608 04:41:31,821 --> 04:41:34,821 lots and if these are 7,000 square 5609 04:41:34,821 --> 04:41:36,821 foot lots will have a lot of 5610 04:41:36,821 --> 04:41:37,821 potential for that. 5611 04:41:37,821 --> 04:41:40,821 so it is more than that. 5612 04:41:40,821 --> 04:41:42,821 you should stick with the plan you 5613 04:41:42,821 --> 04:41:43,821 have that protects community 5614 04:41:43,821 --> 04:41:45,821 character. 5615 04:41:45,821 --> 04:41:46,821 maintaining community character can 5616 04:41:46,821 --> 04:41:51,210 be done, can be done for moderate, 5617 04:41:51,821 --> 04:41:52,821 low-income and housing units. 5618 04:41:52,821 --> 04:41:54,821 you don't have to have this kind of 5619 04:41:54,821 --> 04:41:56,821 intensity of development. 5620 04:41:57,821 --> 04:41:59,821 thank you. 5621 04:41:59,821 --> 04:42:01,821 >> is there anyone else who would 5622 04:42:01,821 --> 04:42:03,821 like to address the board? 5623 04:42:03,821 --> 04:42:05,821 seeing

20,000 square 6018 04:58:34,861 --> 04:58:35,861 feet or approximately 20,000 square 6019 04:58:35,861 --> 04:58:37,861 feet. 6020 04:58:37,861 --> 04:58:38,861 we have already discussed the 6021 04:58:38,861 --> 04:58:41,861 annexation in the southeast community 6022 04:58:41,861 --> 04:58:44,861 plan area for roseville of the area 6023 04:58:44,861 --> 04:58:46,861 that is currently hillsboro, ashley 6024 04:58:46,861 --> 04:58:49,261 woods and east ridge. 6025 04:58:49,861 --> 04:58:51,861 this area was farm 20 acres before 6026 04:58:51,861 --> 04:58:53,861 getting annexed into the city. 6027 04:58:53,861 --> 04:58:55,861 when it got annexed into the city, it 6028 04:58:55,861 --> 04:58:59,861 was absorbed in the city with a land 6029 04:58:59,861 --> 04:59:02,861 use intensity of 2.1 acres per unit. 6030 04:59:02,861 --> 04:59:05,861 when it built out, it built out as 6031 04:59:05,861 --> 04:59:09,461 dense as 4-5 units per acre. 6032 04:59:09,861 --> 04:59:12,801 so almost a 100-fold increase in 6033 04:59:12,801 --> 04:59:14,801 intensity in that area from what it 6034 04:59:14,801 --> 04:59:17,201 had previously been zoned. 6035 04:59:17,801 --> 04:59:18,801 tree lake village. 6036 04:59:18,801 --> 04:59:22,401 tree lake village was farm 20 acres 6037 04:59:23,801 --> 04:59:25,801 before being general plan amendment 6038 04:59:25,801 --> 04:59:26,801 rezoned, development agreement and 6039 04:59:26,801 --> 04:59:27,801 very first development agreement in 6040 04:59:27,801 --> 04:59:31,401 the history of placer county resulted 6041 04:59:32,801 --> 04:59:34,801 in 2-and-a-half lots per acre going 6042 04:59:34,801 --> 04:59:36,801 into tree lake village. 6043 04:59:36,801 --> 04:59:38,801 folsom lake estates. 6044 04:59:38,801 --> 04:59:41,801 folsom lake estates was 2.3 acre, 6045 04:59:42,801 --> 04:59:46,801 rezoned down to lots as small as 3/4 6046 04:59:46,801 --> 04:59:48,801 of an acre. 6047 04:59:59,801 --> 05:00:04,524 los lagos and -- and I want to say 3 6048 05:00:04,524 --> 05:00:06,524 to the acre. 6049 05:00:15,800 --> 05:00:20,600 we move on down to quail oaks, which 6050 05:00:20,801 --> 05:00:23,801 actually built out with the intensity 6051 05:00:23,801 --> 05:00:24,801 it had been assigned. 6052 05:00:24,801 --> 05:00:28,401 however, in order to build the 6053 05:00:28,801 --> 05:00:29,801 subdivision required significant 6054 05:00:29,801 --> 05:00:31,801 variances from setbacks and 6055 05:00:31,801 --> 05:00:32,801 significant variances to road sizes 6056 05:00:32,801 --> 05:00:36,801 and cut down a fairly significant oak 6057 05:00:36,801 --> 05:00:39,801 woodland and undergrounded a stream. 6058 05:00:39,801 --> 05:00:43,801 so quail oaks is a project that 6059 05:00:43,801 --> 05:00:45,801 couldn't be built today and move on 6060 05:00:45,801 --> 05:00:49,401 to douglas ranch, built out at 1/2 6061 05:00:55,801 --> 05:00:59,801 acre-ish lot and the quarry pond area 6062 05:00:59,801 --> 05:01:00,801 was medium-density residential before 6063 05:01:00,801 --> 05:01:03,801 it was rezoned to commercial. 6064 05:01:05,801 --> 05:01:08,801 the stratford downs subdivision once 6065 05:01:09,801 --> 05:01:11,801 again built consistent with zoning 6066 05:01:11,801 --> 05:01:13,801 but only because of significant 6067 05:01:13,801 --> 05:01:14,741 variances and again, undergrounded a 6068 05:01:14,741 --> 05:01:16,741 stream. 6069 05:01:16,741 --> 05:01:19,741 the commercial area that was the 6070 05:01:19,741 --> 05:01:20,741 jumbo market when they built -- it's 6071 05:01:20,741 --> 05:01:22,741 now ace. 6072 05:01:22,741 --> 05:01:25,741 when they built jumbo to rezone from 6073 05:01:25,741 --> 05:01:27,741 residential immediate up 6074 05:01:32,741 --> 05:01:34,741 medium density to commercial and 6075 05:01:34,741 --> 05:01:36,741 hidden lakes subdivision one of my 6076 05:01:36,741 --> 05:01:39,741 favorites, because it too was built 6077 05:01:39,741 --> 05:01:43,941 consistent with the zoning at the time 6078 05:01:45,741 --> 05:01:46,741 with interesting variances because 6079 05:01:46,741 --> 05:01:48,741 the developer of the project was the 6080 05:01:48,741 --> 05:01:50,741 first one to come to the county and 6081 05:01:50,741 --> 05:01:52,741 say we know what our road standards 6082 05:01:52,741 --> 05:01:53,741 are. 6083 05:01:53,741 --> 05:01:55,741 if we build to your road standards 6084 05:01:55,741 --> 05:02:01,141 we'll have to remove a heck of a lot 6085 05:02:01,741 --> 05:02:02,741 of trees bush they think the trees 6086 05:02:02,741 --> 05:02:03,741 are valuable and would like to keep 6087 05:02:03,741 --> 05:02:04,741 them for residents and even though we 6088 05:02:04,741 --> 05:02:07,741 call it hidden lakes estate there is 6089 05:02:07,741 --> 05:02:09,741 no water on the property the 6090 05:02:09,741 --> 05:02:13,741 developer is saying to the county at 6091 05:02:13,741 --> 05:02:15,681 the time and unlike what most 6092 05:02:15,681 --> 05:02:16,681 developers do today to go to the army 6093 05:02:16,681 --> 05:02:20,881 corps of engineering for a permit to 6094 05:02:21,681 --> 05:02:23,681 take away water, we have to go to the 6095 05:02:23,681 --> 05:02:24,681 army corps of engineering to add 6096 05:02:24,681 --> 05:02:26,681 water. 6097 05:02:26,681 --> 05:02:27,681 so hidden lakes estates this is the 6098 05:02:27,681 --> 05:02:29,681 first lake and, in fact it's looked 6099 05:02:29,681 --> 05:02:31,681 to by folks in the community as such 6100 05:02:31,681 --> 05:02:34,681 a wonderful example of such the 6101 05:02:34,681 --> 05:02:36,681 development in granite bay should 6102 05:02:36,681 --> 05:02:38,681 happen that a group calling itself 6103 05:02:38,681 --> 05:02:40,681 defend granite bay has adopted that 6104 05:02:40,681 --> 05:02:41,681 very lake. 6105 05:02:41,681 --> 05:02:43,681 on the homepage of their website. 6106 05:02:43,681 --> 05:02:45,681 this group is dedicated to preserving 6107 05:02:45,681 --> 05:02:48,681 and protecting the unique rural 6108 05:02:48,681 --> 05:02:49,681 lifestyle of granite bay. 6109 05:02:49,681 --> 05:02:53,881 the developer of this project was my 6110 05:02:54,681 --> 05:02:56,681 father. 6111 05:02:57,681 --> 05:03:01,681 my dad built hidden lakes estates and 6112 05:03:01,681 --> 05:03:03,681 my dad discovered the ground of what 6113 05:03:03,681 --> 05:03:06,681 is now hidden lake estates when 6114 05:03:06,681 --> 05:03:11,481 my brother and I road go carts on 6115 05:03:11,681 --> 05:03:14,621 this property and I'm glad my dad did 6116 05:03:14,621 --> 05:03:15,621 such a fine job developing the 6117 05:03:15,621 --> 05:03:17,621 project that the folks who now think 6118 05:03:17,621 --> 05:03:19,621 they need to preserve and protect 6119 05:03:19,621 --> 05:03:22,621 granite bay from me ares you using my 6120 05:03:22,621 --> 05:03:25,621 if father's subdivision as the 6121 05:03:25,621 --> 05:03:28,621 marquee subdivision that we need 6122 05:03:28,621 --> 05:03:29,621 to preserve and defend. 6123 05:03:29,621 --> 05:03:31,621 this is just what I was able to do 6124 05:03:31,621 --> 05:03:33,621 off the top of my head without digging 6125 05:03:33,621 --> 05:03:34,621 in too deeply. 6126 05:03:34,621 --> 05:03:37,621 we want to preserve and protect 6127 05:03:37,621 --> 05:03:39,621 granite bay, but which of the these 6128 05:03:39,621 --> 05:03:41,621 projects would you have go away? 6129 05:03:41,621 --> 05:03:45,221 which of these changes to previous 6130 05:03:45,621 --> 05:03:46,621 zoning, land use intensity do you 6131 05:03:46,621 --> 05:03:48,621 think is bad? 6132 05:03:51,621 --> 05:03:53,621 so which we talk about entertaining 6133 05:03:53,621 --> 05:03:55,621 any changes, that is kind of 6134 05:03:55,621 --> 05:03:57,621 perspective that I look at this from, 6135 05:03:57,621 --> 05:04:00,621 as somebody who has been here now 46 6136 05:04:00,621 --> 05:04:03,621 years, used to hunt the quail oaks 6137 05:04:03,621 --> 05:04:07,621 area, used to ride dirt bikes at 6138 05:04:07,621 --> 05:04:11,821 tree village property and I look at 6139 05:04:12,621 --> 05:04:15,561 this perspective, it's I an 6140 05:04:15,561 --> 05:04:17,561 amalgamation of changes and we have 6141 05:04:17,561 --> 05:04:20,561 an opportunity, I believe with this 6142 05:04:20,561 --> 05:04:24,561 project to continue to add to what is 6143 05:04:24,561 --> 05:04:26,561 a very high-quality of development in 6144 05:04:26,561 --> 05:04:28,561 our area. 6145 05:04:28,561 --> 05:04:30,561 now people are worried about this 6146 05:04:30,561 --> 05:04:31,561 setting a precedent. 6147 05:04:31,561 --> 05:04:34,561 well, I think we have already 6148 05:04:34,561 --> 05:04:36,561 addressed the fact that granite bay 6149 05:04:36,561 --> 05:04:41,361 is built on change butch and I have 6150 05:04:41,561 --> 05:04:43,561 heard the number 16, there are 16 6151 05:04:43,561 --> 05:04:45,561 projects out there and I can name six 6152 05:04:45,561 --> 05:04:46,561 projects, not 16. 6153 05:04:46,561 --> 05:04:48,961 ; that are being proposed. 6154 05:04:51,561 --> 05:04:52,561 when you take into consideration the 6155 05:04:52,561 --> 05:04:54,961 fact there are approximately 8600 6156 05:04:57,561 --> 05:05:01,561 parcels in granite bay, and I know of 6157 05:05:01,561 --> 05:05:03,561 six that want changes, we're not 6158 05:05:03,561 --> 05:05:05,561 destroying anything. 6159 05:05:05,561 --> 05:05:07,561 are we changing things?
