relocation of private driveway, and bicycle lanes. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Roberts, Mr. Callahan noted a plan can be brought to the Commission in six months at the latest. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Discussion ensued relating to utilities not being undergrounded on Racoon Hollow Court. Commissioner Sullivan noted the importance of the West Foothill Overlay District guidelines and noted these guidelines have been worked on for two years. He noted the importance of houses being built to these guidelines. He noted he agreed with staff's recommendation to deny and noted there have been significant changes since 1990. He noted a number of conditions can be applied to this project; however, setbacks and clustering cannot be conditioned. He stated this is a visible part of Foothill Road. He stated if the developer returned with a plan for a three- house development, with 150 feet setbacks and improvements in geotechnical advances, he would consider the project. He moved to deny and suggested the applicant return with a PUD that meets the West Foothill Overlay District guidelines. Commissioner Arkin seconded the motion and spoke in favor of a new PUD being submitted. Discussion ensued relating to issues of grandfathering in property. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Maas, Mr. Plucker noted staffwould not revise the recommendation to approve a one-year extension based on the new information provided by the applicant. Chairperson Roberts expressed concern with the project's inability to meet the setback requirements and noted the applicant might be able to meet the requirements ifa new plan is developed. Commissioner Maas expressed concern with the setbacks and the geoteclmical report. She stated there are more up-to-date means for conducting geotechnieal studies. She noted this is a sensitive area. Commissioner Maas inquired if the applicant was granted a six-month extension, could new geotechnical studies and issues relating to setbacks and clustering be resolved. Chairperson Roberts noted she would be in favor of an extension if issues relating to setbacks and clustering were resolved and a new geotechnical study were provided. PUBLIC HEARING WAS REOPENED The applicant noted that if one lot is eliminated from the plan, all lots, except one, can meet the 150-foot setback requirements. Further, that the one lot that does not meet the setback requirements will be a single-story plan. He noted that additional geotechnic information will be provided at the time of building permit submittal. Commissioner Sullivan noted he would be in favor of the applicant presenting a new plan, rather than attempting to condition the old plan, due to the process being so complicated.
