Commissioner Arkin moved to continue Case PUD-00-01 to the October 25, 2000 meeting. Commissioner Roberts seconded the motion. Commissioner Maas stated that she is concerned about the noise levels of the quarry. She aclvised that she is also concerned about the issues related to the tree removal and replacement program, and noted that she would like to have the developer pay the value of the trees that are removed. She stated that she is not comfortable about the Costas project not providing an amenity. With regard to the design of the homes, she noted that she likes Plan 5, but is concerned about the plans on the Hahner Ranch property being the same as those on the previously approved PUD. She advised that she would like to see some changes. She noted that she would like to have some of the front porches a little larger; she wants fruit-bearing vineyards; and she wants disclosure of the nearby animal uses. She supports the Saturday construction hours for the realignment of the street and Monday through Friday for house construction. Commi~iuner Kameny asked if it might be possible to have the Saturday conslruction hours for the realignment changed from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., to 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Commi~ioner Arkin noted that the vineyards is the largest public amenity and he wants to see gropes there. He stated that he would like to see a mechanism in place (perhaps a homeowners' amociation) to be sure that this amenity continues. Chairp~mon Sullivan asked for an analysis of the Land Trust with a description of what it is and how it works in Livermore. Commissioner Roberts suggested that Lois Lutz be invited to the n~xt me~ing to address this issue. Commi~ioner Aridn stated that he would like to see more clustering of the homes, rather than have th~,homes along Vineyard in a row. He advised that he likes the idea of below-market-rate duplexes, voting that it is not possible in the Specific Plan area, but that it can be done on the Costas ll~operty. He asked for an analysis on whether this is feasible. He stated that he wants to s~ all of the approvals done for the trails before the homes are occupied. Commissioner Arkin expressed concern about the "new" existing unit on the Hahner property that has been counted as a livable unit. He noted that a big concern of his is the regional traffic and he would like to add a condition of approval that states if the demand for homes exceeds the supply, first preference shall be given to people who work in the City. He advised that he wants to see the disclosure regarding farm animals specify "pigs," and that those working in the sales office be aware of this use. He suggested that a sign be displayed in the sales office which clearly notes the disclosures. Hc advised that he would like to see the plans for the entire project, including the vineyards, as well as the timeline. Commimioner Roberts stated that she is concerned about making the findings and would have difficulty doing that tonight, primarily because of the grading and splitting the PUD into Delco's residential development and the agricultural portion. She suggested that Mr. Hahner get help with developing a plan for the vineyard and planting. She noted that 21 acres of vineyards are proposed for Mr. Hshner's property, yet he is proposing only 15 acres. She advised that the draft Specific Plan showed the school on both the Hahner and Lin property, with the vineyards more PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES October 11, 2000 Page 8
