area and will not include the area of the open deck or the area of the proposed music therapy structure.” At this point with the resolution, the Planning Director is allowing that particular area to be part of the permitted area. Condition 2 requires the applicant to submit metes and bounds in written and map form, so that we know exactly where the Special Permit area is on the 22-acre property. Condition No. 6, presently it states, “Approval of this Special Permit does not include the use of the open deck or the proposed music therapy structure.” We are striking that out, and we are going to be adding in the following: “The deck shall be reduced in size to 80 feet by 25 feet and shall include handrails or guardrails along the perimeter of the deck.” This is mainly for safety purposes. The size of the deck was the agreement that was met between Mr. Juvik and the applicant. Going on: “The deck shall be used for quiet individual or small group activities and the music therapy shall be conducted only in the enclosed building with individual or small groups.” So that will be our revised Condition No. 2 and Condition No. 6. There have been numerous letters of support that were submitted along with the application as well as after the application was submitted. The Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission approve the Special Permit request. Are there any questions? WATANABE: Fellow Commissioners, any questions for Mr. Darrow or other staff? Yes, Ms. Siracusa. SIRACUSA: I’m looking at the background report, and No. 19 on Page 4, under Flora and Fauna Resources, the last part of the first sentence doesn’t seem to belong to that sentence. And I’m wondering -, it says, “except for the structures that were constructed on-site;” but the rest of the sentence is talking about native trees and shrubs and non native vegetation. And I’m wondering where that part of the sentence is supposed to be, so it’ll make some sense to me here. Jeff, can you help me with that? Do you see what I’m talking about? DARROW: That would be the first sentence under No. 19 -. SIRACUSA: Yeah, the last half of that sentence. It says, “except for the structures that were constructed on-site.” So where are we excepting something? It doesn’t belong there. DARROW: Well, in the beginning of this sentence, when you see “According to the applicant,” we are actually taking this straight out of the application. So if we could maybe defer that to the applicant as far as their understanding of what they were trying to state in that. SIRACUSA: Okay. It just seems like a total non sequitur to me. Thank you. WATANABE: Yes, Ms. Bowman. BOWMAN: I have a question – and pardon me because I haven’t been on the board as long as others. The proposed office was permitted as a farm dwelling, correct? DARROW: Correct. EXHIBIT A 3
