Mr. McDonald noted that he agreed with Commissioner Sullivan and there would be a visual impact from Foothill Road with relocating Lot 7. He reminded the Commission there were no Interstate 580 visibility issues when this project was originally designed. He noted the applicant preferred the presented design and he would prefer the project be approved with the landscaping requirements as provided for in the original West Foothill Overlay District Guidelines for lots with visibility. Mr. McDonald stated that the Commission could deny the application, make requirements to Lot 7, and let the project proceed to the City Council. He stated that the engineering of the project has been worked through with staff several times and the proposed layout works best for this number of units. In conclusion, he noted he would rather have a denial from the Commission rather than develop another plan. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Discussion ensued relating to allowing 50 percent stucco on the homes. Commissioner Sullivan noted stucco on homes will create more visibility of homes. Commissioner Arkin noted he would be in favor of natural materials being utilized on homes. Chairperson Roberts noted that the Commission is in favor of the West Foothill Road Overlay District recommendations for no stucco on homes. Chairperson Roberts clarified that the EVA will be reviewed during the Tentative Map approval process. A motio~ was made by Chairperson Roberts, seconded by Commissioner Maas, that Case PUD-99-03 be forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation for approval by making the finding that the proposed PUD Prezoning and PUD Development Plan will not have a significant environmental impaet and resolution be adopted recommending approval of Exhibit "C,' the draft Initial Study/Negative Declaration for PUD-99-03. Further, that Lot 7 be removed; that the final details of the EVA be resolved in conjunction with the Tentative Map to allow time for the Fire Department and the applicant to reach a consensus on the EVA; that Lots I through 6 contain open fencing to be addressed at the design review level; that the $6500 tree removal fee be reconsidered if Trec No. 110 is given a poor condition rating; that there be a 22-foot maximum height for homes; that there be no stucco on homes as referenced in the West Foothill Road Corridor Overlay District guidelines; the first sentence in Condition No. 27 be deleted; and that the development plan approval be valid for three years.
