Commissioner Kameny advised that he would be abstaining from this item, as his property is adjacent to the Berlogar property. r- Mr. Swift presented the staff report, noting that this is a continuation of the hearing on PUD-5. He advised that the Planning Commission has received a packet of materials that includes revised site, landscape, and grading plans. He noted that the building architecture is the same, but the number of elevations have been reduced from six to five. He stated that the staff report includes revised conditions of approval which correspond to the exhibits, noting that the biggest change is in the amount of grading that will be needed. Mr. Swift described the revisions to the grading plan and commented on the visibility aspects of the revised plan. He noted that staff supports the grading plan that is presented. Mr. Swift provided clarification regarding the condition of approval that pertains to accessory structures, noting that it is the intention not to allow any accessory structures to be located in the sloping portion of the rear yard of Lots I through 5, and an additional condition should be included under Condition #3. Discussion ensued regarding the potential construction of accessory structures that do not require permits, and the installation of terraces and patios. Mr. Swift noted that Condition #5.c.l. should be amended to read: "Lot 5 shall have a pad height 'generally' 458 feet. . ." He clarified the intent of Condition #5.c.(2)., noting that no modification is needed. He also advised that Condition #94 should be modified to allow slopes between lots to be 2:1. He advised that Condition #5.d.(5) should be corrected to read "... Lots 1-5 and 12-16..." Mr. Swift advised that staffis recommending approval of the development plan, subject to the conditions of approval, and that staff feels the plan is consistent with the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan. He noted that the Planning Commission has asked staff to look at a number of alternative plans, and that those plans have been provided, as well as an economic analysis that reflects larger parcels. He advised that staff is not recommending approval of any of the alternatives, noting that there would be similar visual impacts. In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Harvey, Mr. Swift advised that the applicant is not in favor of any of the alternatives. r- PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES May 9, 2001 Page 2
