DRAFT with the City's Green Building requirements. Awater-conserving irrigation system would be utilized. The Homeowners Association (HOA) would provide the front-yard/ irrigation and landscape maintenance which would alse ensure that the landscaping would be well maintained even if a resident were to experience health challenges or were to go on an extended trip. In response to a question by Commissioner O'Connor, Ms. Hardy indicated that a 1,000-student school was assumed for the prior traffic analysis done for the site. Commissioner O'Connor asked if someone younger than 55 years could live in the development. Ms. Hazdy indicated that the development would follow the State Civil Code with respect to age restrictions, which she believed requires a spouse to be at least 45 years old, would allow younger caregivers, and allow children under certain circumstances. John Knight, 3372 Sagewood Court, indicated that he was happy with the development and that Ponderosa disclosed the project to him when he purchased his property. He discussed the letter that was submitted by Linda Purcell. He requested public trail access through the proposed EVA connecting to Sandstone Court. Ms. Hazdy indicated that Ponderosa made the eastern side yazds of the homes on Sandstone and Sagewood Courts wider in anticipation of the future development to the east. She said that she would try to provide a larger setback to the proposed homes and would look at plotting one-story homes next to Sandstone and Sagewood Courts. Ms. Hardy indicated that an EVA easement was created on the two lots at the end of Sandstone Court, but a public access easement was not provided. She indicated that the neighbors on Sandstone Court would probably not want a public trail at the end of Sandstone Court. Discussion ensued regarding trail access. Commissioner O'Conner questioned if there would be demand for two-story homes. Ms. Hardy indicated that some buyers would want atwo-story home. She indicated that at this point, about 20% of the lots would have the two-story model. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
