He stated that staff was also recommending an additional point be given to Gannco Condominiums for energy conservation. This point would not change the ranking. He stated that staff was not recommending any points for public amenity because this particular subdivision at this time would not add anything to the existing Park. Mayor Dunin asked for public comment. Randy Dettmer, architect for the Gannco Condominium Project, also known as Parkside Condominiums, was concerned about the scoring and ranking of their project and stated that they did have a good argument to receive an additional point for solar heating as stated by Mr. Ross. With regard to the public facilities and amenities process, he explained that this 40 -unit project was the last phase in the South Street Specific Plan area. This project and others have proportionately donated certain amenities, i.e. the greenbelt at Meadow Park, improved open space, drainage channels, and other public improvements, natural open space on the hills behind South Street, and reserved land for future expansion of Meadow Park. He stated that Gann Investments had spent over a 1/2 million dollars as well as giving land to the city and felt that this was a significant contribution.
