Design Review Board Minutes - Approved September 23, 2014 Page 9 of 9 Member Carroll commented that he believes the list of conditions is too long for Preliminary Approval. Chair Wignot agreed with Member Carroll that the list of conditions is too long for Preliminary Approval. He also commented that it is unfortunate that projects of this size are not able to have their landscape irrigation systems supplied by reclaimed water and that something should be done in the community to expand the reclaimed water distribution systems such that projects like the Village at Los Carneros, Willow Springs and Cortona Apartments could incorporate irrigation systems served by reclaimed water.
