r- Chairperson Sullivan stated that he does not feel that adding additional conditions will make this a good plan. Commissioner Maas made a motion finding that there are no new or changed circumstances which requires additional CEQA review of Case PUD-5; finding that the development plan is consistent with the General Plan and the Specific Plan; and recommending approval of Case PUD-5, subject to the Conditions of Approval as stated in Exhibit "B," including all of staff recommendations made at the last meeting and this meeting, and adding conditions requiring that all fencing be open, that the caretaker's dwelling be brought back to the Planning Commission for design review and the location, that the landscaping on the property to be maintained by the homeowners' association be sufficient to camouflage the houses, and that the City Council be presented with a streetscape visual. Commissioner Maas stated that she feels everything the Planning Commission has done is the best that they can do to mitigate the concerns. She noted that a single-story house has replaced the two-story home on lot II, the trail is being provided, funding is being provided for the school, and changes have been made to address grading and visibility concerns. Chairperson Sullivan stated that he cannot support the project. The motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Arkin stated that he requested an alternative plan from Brian Swift, but he wants r- to see new visuals, a revised landscape plan, and clean documentation to support the alternative proposal. He reiterated that he would like the Commission to make a mixed recommendation to Council. Chairperson Sullivan stated that he would like to have an alternative plan with larger lots, and a smaller number of units, and he wants to see the analysis for this alternative. Mr. Swift stated that if the only issue is landscaping, it is typical to require a more detailed landscaping plan at the tentative map stage. He noted that the visuals are correct for the plan that they were prepared for, but are not correct for the plan that staff is recommending. Chairperson Sullivan asked if it is possible for staff and the applicant to develop a conceptual plan and analysis with a fewer number of larger lots. Mr. Swift stated that it is possible, but he has not heard the Commission as a majority give staff that direction. He further stated that to reduce the number of homes would mean to double the size of the homes. He also commented on the impacts that would be created by such an alternative. Commissioner Arkin advised that he wants to see the revised landscaping with visuals depicting the landscape at 0 years,S years, and 10 years; and he wants all of the grading plans and exhibits updated to reflect the lowering of the building pad elevations and the fence lines. He also advised that he wants to hear from the other Commissioners on the issues related to the well and animal uses. He stated that he wants to see how the second units will change the visuals. ..-- PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 11,2001 Page 12
