Staff Recommendation: With the substitution of shakes for composi- tion shingles the staff feels that the proposed development would be appropr~te for the area. There has been some concern expressed by new property owners on San Carlos Way with regard to the height of the structures. However, since excavation would take place on the western portion of the subject property and the site slopes from the south east to north west with homes on the eastern side of San Carlos Way being even higher in elevation than the site itself, the development should be no more obtrusive than any other apartment complex in town. The staff recommends approval of case Z-77-82 subject to the following conditions: That the development be substantially as shown on the site plan elevations and landscape plan, Exhibit A, on file with Planning Department except that cedar shakes be substituted for co~position shingles and that the easternmost carport be relocated to the western end of the southern driveway. 2. That both drives be clearly marked as fire lanes. That the developer be aware that the proposed complex does not meet the develo~nent standards for a condominium and, therefore, cannot be converted to a condominium in the future unless a parking variance was granted. That the street numbers of the buildings be posted so as to be easily seen from the street at all times, day and night. That all ducts, meters, air conditioning equipment, and any other mechanical equipment, whether on the structure, on the ground, or elsewhere, be effectively screened from view with materials architecturally compatible with the main structure. That a/1 mechanical equipment be constructed in such a manner that noise emanating from it will not be perceptible at or beyond the property'plane of the subject property in a normal environ- ment for that zoning district. That all lighting be constructed in such a manner that glare is directed away from surrounding properties and rights-of-way. That all trash and refuse be contained completely within en- closures architecturally compatible with the main structure. That all trees used in landscaping be a minimum of 15 gallons in size and all shrubs a minimum of 5 gallons. 10. That i~ signing for the development is desired, a comprehensive signing program be submitted to the City for consideration under separate application. 11. That 6" vertical concrete curbs be installed between all paved and landscaped areas. -2-
