keeping with the aesthetic issues, as well as the spirit of the Planning Commission's desire for r- the west side of Foothill Road, and the PUD. She further stated that she feels this is a total compromise. Discussion ensued regarding the Commissioners' recommendations. Commissioner Kameny stated that he would be inclined to support staffs recommendation with the modification suggested by Commissioner Roberts to include landscaping and irrigation. Chairperson Sullivan stated that he would support Commissioner Maas' recommendation, as he has concerns about blocking the Scotts' view from the front of their home. Commissioner Arkin stated that he supports staffs' recommendation, and that he feels Mrs. Lu is correct in that she should be treated just as fairly as others in that neighborhood. He further stated that he feels it is unfair to burden her with conditions that have not been placed on the other neighbors. He noted that he would support Commissioner Roberts' recommendation regarding the landscaping requirement. Commissioner Kameny moved to recommend approval of Case PUD-88-16-2M to the City Council subject to the conditions in Exhibit "B," with a modification requiring that at least five 5-gallon shrubs be placed along the hog wire fence along the driveway, with the location of those shrubs subject to approval of the Planning Director, and that an irrigation system be installed for this landscaping. Commissioner Roberts seconded the motion. r- Commissioner Sullivan stated that he is disappointed that there was no effort to reach a compromise. He asked if Commissioner Kameny would consider amending the motion to require that the three north most sections of the fencing be removed and the requirement for landscaping remain. Commissioner Karnney stated that he would not agree to this amendment. Commissioner Maas asked if Commissioner Kameny would be willing to add to the motion a requirement that all future applications for wood fence in this area come before the Planning Commission. Commissioner Kameny stated that he would agree to add this as a separate direction to staff. Commissioner Arkin advised that he feels that the Lus were not aware of the existing situation with regard to the fence when they purchased the house. He stated that he does not understand the logic that the Scotts were allowed to construct their fence, but there is objection to the Lus' fence. Commissioner Kameny amended the motion to include the requirement that one foot of lattice shall be added to the top of the three sections of six-foot solid fence to match the existing seven-foot fence. Commissioner Roberts agreed to the amendment. r- April 25, 2001 Page 4 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
