A motion was made by Supervisor Sweeney, seconded by Supervisor Briggs, as follows:
1) Direct the applicant to submit a revised map to Development Services that deletes the requests for design waivers, eliminates the three flag lots and shows how the other lots will be configured to meet the 60 foot required width at the road setback line;
2) If the applicant fails to submit the revised map to Development Services within 120 days, direct staff to place the item on the Board of Supervisor's calendar for denial;
3) Direct staff to analyze the revised map with a focused Environmental Impact Report (EIR); utilizing the 2004 General Plan EIR and the various studies prepared for the McCann Mitigated Negative Declaration to the extent feasible, but doing a complete analysis of the cumulative traffic and circulation impacts that arise from this project and the other reasonably foreseeable projects in the area and especially as to its effects on Union Mine Road and Patterson Road.
