of dealing with courtyard and privacy areas. He added that staff is looking at open <br />fencing for this property. <br />Commissioner Blank suggested that this be included in the Conditions of Approval. <br />Mr. Pavan indicated that the condition would be added. <br />Commissioner Narum indicated that she would like to see all the fencing conditions in <br />the Conditions of Approval, with specifics on what is and is not allowed in the different <br />areas of the property. <br />Ms. Stern indicated that it can be done. <br />Mr. Gorney stated that while the picture shows open fencing, it does not indicate that it <br />should be used. He added that solid wall is proposed, but not for the entire area. <br />Commissioner Narum pointed out that page 2, 2.1 indicates that the owner will provide <br />and maintain a vineyard on Lot 4. <br />Mr. Gorney stated that this has not been updated since the last meeting and should be <br />removed. <br />Commissioner O'Connor asked Commissioner Narum whether she wanted the planting <br />of a vineyard to be prohibited or she did not want it required. <br />Commissioner Narum replied that if it were up to her, there would be no vineyard. She <br />noted, however, that there is a condition to allow it with a Conditional Use Permit should <br />it be proposed, which was all right with her. <br />Mr. Inderbitzen noted that they are not asking for the vineyard and that the reference <br />will be removed. <br />Mr. Tim Belcher, California Native Plant Society, indicated that he had commented on <br />the project as a co- signer in July 2009 with the Society. He commended the applicant <br />and City staff for their work on improving the project tremendously. He inquired if there <br />was a possibility to preserve heritage trees nos. 100, 101, 191, 192, 197, and 198 in the <br />driveway for Lots 3 and 4. He further inquired what the net grading would be to make <br />the building envelopes. <br />Mr. Dolan replied that he would not be able to respond to the question about preserving <br />the trees but that staff would look into the matter to determine whether there is a chance <br />they could be saved. He noted that this is typically done at the detailed design stage <br />and advised the Commission that it could add a condition to look into that possibility. <br />He added that the project civil engineer could respond to the question regarding <br />grading. <br />EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 28, 2010 Page 9 of 11 <br />
