COUNTS FROM THE APPLICANT Tony Perino of Nearon Enterprises, 30 Oak Court, Danville, represented the applicant. Mr. Perino introduced the project architect, Ed Choi of the Chamorro Design Group, and David Muhlfelder of Nearon Enterprises. He provided an overview of Nearon Enterprises. In response to a question from Chairperson Sullivan, Mr. Perino advised that they intend to lease space in this facility to other tenants. He presented information regarding proposed plans for tenant occupancy. Mr. Perino requested that the Planning Commission consider allowing Saturday construction in that the building is buffered from surrounding residences by building setbacks from the street and mature trees. With regard to the LEED Green Building standards, Mr. Perino stated that it is their understanding that the LEED standards are currently a discretionary position and that the City will adopt more formal standards in the future. He advised they are adopting many of the policies on the checklist in the conslxuction of the building, but since the tenant improvements will not be built until the tenants are identified, they are, therefore, concerned about the language in the condition regarding "each subsequent tenant improvement." He noted that they believe this lang--$e is a little broad and vague. Mr. Perino also asked that the Planning Commission consider modifying Condition #12 which gives the Planning Director absolute discretion as to when the electric vehicle chargers will be installed, noting that the applicant would like to have a little more control regarding the installation of the chargers and have it based on demand. In respeose to a question from Commissioner Arkln regarding the amount of demolition that will be done at the site, Mr. Choi advised that some exterior panels and louvers will be removed. He noted that they would be complying with the LEED recycling standards. In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Roberts, Mr. Choi noted that the sunshades offer some shading, but also add some architectural interest and shadow lines. Commi~ioner Roberts questioned the wording of the condition regarding the elecffical vehicle charging stations. Mr. Pavan advised that the conduit for the stations will be installed, but that the charging hook-ups would not be installed until they are needed. He further advised that the Planning Director would be the "beck-up" to ensure that the chargers would be installed when n~xied. In respol~se to Commissioner Roberts' question regarding the smoking area, Mr. Choi advised that the smokin~ area is not covered. Chairperson Sullivan inquired as to whether the tenants pay the electric bill. Mr. Perino advised that it h~s not yet been determined. He noted that if it is a standard office user the landlord u~ually pays it, but if it is a tenant with special needs, the tenant may pay it. He further noted that currently most of the buildings in Pleasanton are full service buildings and the landlord pays the electric bill. PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED No public comment was made.
