rewording the condition to require that the easement and PUD must be approved prior to the final map. Mr. Rowe advised that with regard to the issue related to the Costas property, he believes it will be resolved or there will be a clear sense of direction by the time the tentative map comes before the Commission. He commented on the amenity issue, noting that the fees for the six lots on the Costas property will be approximately $330,000, and that the property provides easements for the trail and the fight-of-way for Vineyard Avenue. Commissioner Roberts noted that the staff report stated that these lots would be basically the same as the low density designation for the McGuire and Nevis properties and that those lots are at least 20,000-square-feet, while the Costas lots 34 and 35 are considerably smaller, and lot 33 is 48,000-square feet. She asked if consideration could be given to rearranging the lots to increase the size of lots 34 and 35. Discussion ensued regarding the lot sizes and whether single-story homes are required for these lots. Mr. Rowe advised that if there is a concern by the park district, the applicant is willing to construet single-story homes on these lots. Commi,~ioner Maas commented that the Planning Commission had previously expressed concern about the similar elevations with those proposed for adjacent development. Mr. Rowe advised that some of the Clara Lane house plans will be redesigned as a result of Oreenbriar Homes purchasing the Clara Lane lots. Mr. Rowe stated that the applicant would be happy to meet with Commissioner Maas prior to thc tentative map to address this issue. Commissioner Maas referenced the visual provided to thc Commission, noting that the image it depicts is not very appealing and she would have expected a third simulation showing an improved visual. Mr. Rowe noted that the result shown in the visual is that of realigning Vineyard Avenue. Discussion ensued regarding the relocation of the power poles and P.G. & E.'s proposal to install a 230ky power line through this area. Mr. Rowe advised that the applicant could add a fair number of large box trees that would grow and provide screening. Commi~ioner Maas noted that in the tree report there is no value given for the trees being removed, only those being preserved. She further noted that the preserved oak trees in similar condition are rated between $1,800 to $2,500 each. Mr. Pavan stated this information will be provided with the tentative map. Dim Costas, 2503 Vineyard Avenue, noted that he is proposing that the six lots on his property be custom lots. He further noted that a two-story home on lot 33 will be screened by trees and that he is proposing a four-car garage and second unit on this lot and needs to have a large lot because the existing home will be retained for the time being. Discussion ensued the regarding the development of the Costas property and the process needed if this property is developed as custom lots.
