Mr. McInnis: Yes. If we could get to that master plan, I'd like to show you that. We would start our fill right here at the old vineyard, come up and the terrace all the way up, about a third of the site, all vineyards. And then the vineyards were going to crawl up along the road also. A lot of the vineyards could not be grown under the oaks, but we can get them wrapping around, too. Commissioner Fox: I have two questions for Lynn and Donna -one might take a little research. First of all, you have the Municipal Code there. One of the things I wanted to find out is if the cupola the same as what we define as a turret in the Municipal Code, and if that's the case, do we include that in the building height? The reason I ask is because there was recently aone-story house with a turret that was approved on Dennis Drive near Newton Way, and I cannot remember whether or not that was included in the building height in the Municipal Code. So, would you clarify that, and then clarify what the height of the building is according to how it is calculated in our Municipal Code, and whether turret equals cupola or not, or whether it is the flat roofline? The second question I had is, I've been on the Commission for two years, and I need some staff guidance here. The last time we talked about dots, and whether dots really meant the general location or the exact location, was the issue we had with the North Sycamore Specific Plan when we were talking about the trail or the path or the sidewalk through the Bozorgzad property. We had the issue about the dots and whether the dots in the Specific Plan meant the alignment of the trail or the general designated area of a location, around which the proximity of the trail should be located. So, could staff give some guidance in terms of the Specific Plan, and whether the dot means the specific location, based upon previous cases that have come to the Commission and staff, or whether the dot means a general location, similar to the North Sycamore Specific Plan? Ms. Lynn Tracy Nerland: As to the definition of the dot, you are talking about a project that came before Donna, so that is not something Planning feels prepared to speak about. Chairperson Maas: That's fine. You can get back to us on those two items. Chairperson Maas: Could you give me your comments on the peer review, or comments regarding the photo montage that was submitted? Mr. MacDonald: We contacted the City before we retained the peer reviewer acceptable to the City. That peer reviewer was asked to come out when all of the original photographs were taken. So, some of the comments that came back from the peer reviewer were somewhat surprising because he was present when the original set of photographs were taken. One of the interesting things was, the peer review quoted a price which was more than what a photo montage peer review was. We inquired as to how a peer review could cost more than somebody who is actually doing the photo montages and the work and all the computer work, and we were informed that the peer reviewer actually wants to create his own model. He basically does a parallel model so that he can compare it to make sure that the other model is correct. Our peer reviewer said that was fine, but asked if the peer reviewer would also take a couple of hours and come with our peer reviewer while he is 15
