NOVEMBER 5, 2001, PAGE 4, ITEM 19.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the correction to the Council/Agency Minutes of November 5, 2001, Page 4, Item 19.
DISCUSSION:
In reviewing the tapes of the Council Meeting of November 5, 2001, an error was found in the
approved Minutes of the Meeting of November 5, 2001, in that Sal Caruso had not stated an intent
to decrease the home size by 3,700 square feet. Mr. Caruso was very specific in his submitted letter
(Attachment 8, Item 19, included in the Council Report) that he intended to reduce the house size
to between 3,500 and 3,700 square feet. Mr. Caruso said nothing during the hearing that
contradicted his letter.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Memo from Mr. Caruso, Attachment 8, of Item 19, Council Report November 5, 2001.
2. Corrected Page 4 of the November 5th Minutes with accurate information shaded.
3. Original Page 4 of the November 5th Minutes with the incorrect portion struck out.

We would like to redesign this project and change the living space from
approximately 5,784 square feet to a range of 3500 to 3700 square feet of living
space. The land contours would remain similar to those already proposed. We ask
to be remanded back to the planning commission.
