The meeting was called to order by Tim at 7:10pm

I.    Approval of meeting minutes.
Motion: James moved to approve the minutes from March. Patsy seconded. All approved.

II.    Road Clean Up.
Tim suggested we have the clean up May 8. We will start at 9am at Windstar. Jan will
put together the lunch for volunteers.  Tim asked Jan to send a blast e-mail to everyone in the database.

III.    Renewable Energy Committee. Barb Sullan
Last Tues. the BOCC had their energy meeting. They were in line with what our Caucus was thinking.
There was lots of discussion on glare; this probably needs to be addressed further vis-a-vis amount of glare, duration and intensity.  The County was leaning towards more regulation. They need a process for reviewing retrofits. Our Caucus committee thought we should wait to see what they recommend before we tackle this in our district. The BOCC, however, has incorporated a lot of our ideas.

IV.    Land Use Committee
Jacobson – Lazy O, Lot 5, Site Plan Review and CDU

Architect, Tim Hagman, gave a presentation on this application.  
Motion: James moved to approve the application, pending Lazy O HOA approval, as it fits in with our Master Plan. Michael seconded. All approved. Frieda, will check with the HOA on their thoughts. Others suggested that the applicant make their best efforts to mitigate significant reflectivity from glass; the need of foreground landscaping; and conservative use of nighttime lighting. In their letter, the applicant has made the promise to exceed energy requirements by 25%.

Clear W Ranch - 1551 Popish Road, Wildcat. Site Plan Review and GMQS

Steve recommended we approve this application as we have no objections. The Caucus is more concerned about this side of the ridge. We prefer the development take place in Wildcat, not in our area.
Motion: Frieda moved to approve; Barb seconded. All approved.

Moser – Lot 6, Capitol Woods. Site Plan Review and CDU

Motion: Steve moved to approve the application, excluding the construction of walkway to the Creek, which appears to be outside the envelope. James seconded the motion; all approved.

Sharp – Capitol Woods

It was brought to the Caucus’ attention that there is a partially built home in this area, where the approval for a “minor expansion” was approved by the Caucus years ago. No work has been done in a long time. In addition to being an eyesore, there could be some safety concerns. Kathy will mention this to the County and see if they have anything in place to deal with such issues.

Motion: Michael moved to go into Executive Session. Rick seconded. All approved.


The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:30 pm.
