actually going through and have his photo montages up and look at the computer. But <br />that was not within the budget -that was a higher budget -than our peer reviewer did. <br />The peer reviewer is an excellent peer reviewer -those are the kinds of comments that <br />can be addressed; and as to detail, those photo montages are quality photo montages that <br />are an accurate reflection of what the visual impact of this project will be. <br />Chairperson Maas: These photo montages were taken and developed by? <br />Mr. MacDonald: Pat McCalley from the Dahlin Group. <br />Chairperson Maas: Then we have Matt Brockway peer reviewing the photo montage? <br />Mr. MacDonald: Right. <br />Chairperson Maas: He made some interesting comments that I have not seen in a long time since <br />I have been on the Commission. I was surprised to read those comments, and all I can <br />say is I could really care less about the budget and how much you paid to whomever. <br />Mr. MacDonald: Our bill is not a serious problem, but I will say that we had substantially <br />completed both plans and peer review and geological and all that with some of the <br />technical details, and rather than go back again - we have been working with this for <br />years and years -and have one whole, big complete round with the peer reviewer.... <br />Everybody, including the staff, said we need to get this in front of the Commission so you <br />can hear from the neighbors and hear from the architect and talk about if this a site <br />location that can work. <br />Chairperson Maas: Comment 8 is: "The estate home appears to be set at too low a finished floor <br />elevation, and the simulated views from the addresses at Vineyard Avenue neighbors." <br />That is a pretty substantial comment to make us think that maybe these photos are not <br />correct, that it is sitting lower, and it is actually going to be higher. <br />Mr. MacDonald: And that would be, again, that our guy will be able to either work out with the <br />peer reviewer, basically get those issues addressed, but we just did not engage in that <br />process. <br />Chairperson Maas: So, you are saying that if and when you do submit the PUD, you will have a <br />new photo montage with a new peer review. <br />Mr. MacDonald: Well, I suspect that it is going to be the same, with very minor adjustments. If <br />there are any variations in height, it is not going to be substantial. Pat McCalley knows <br />what he is doing. He has done most of the Vineyard Corridor photo montages. He asked <br />the peer reviewer to come and sit with him, and review the things that had been done. He <br />did not have time to do it, but there are not going to be major changes in those photo <br />montages. They are an accurate depiction of what is going to seen. There maybe some <br />little refinement, but it is not going to be a major change. <br />16 <br />
