MATTERS CONTINUED FOR DECISION a. PUD-97-01, Currin Construction Company Application for certification of the final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the Oak Tree Farm -- Phase 3 project and for removal of the geotechnical setback line, commonly referred to as the "Berlogar Line," from the existing Oak Tree Farm subdivision located at 8272 Sassafras Court. Zoning for the property is PUD- RDR/LDR (Planned Unit Development - Low Density ResidentiallRural Density Residential) District. r- Heidi Jo Kline presented the staff report, providing background information pertaining to the project. She noted that Alameda County completed the first environmental impact report for this site in 1988. She provided information regarding the establishment ofthe "Berlogar Line" which created a geotechnical setback area. She commented on the additional analyzes completed regarding the stability of the ancient landslide, noting that staff determined that the substantial nature of the new geotechnical information warranted a new Draft Supplemental EIR. She advised that staff feels the "Berlogar line" is no longer necessary because of the additional information resulting from the analyzes and the mitigations which have been identified and included in the Supplemental EIR. She commented that the geotechnical line restrains a number of property owners in terms of the location of their homes and improvements in their rear yards. Ms. Kline advised that should the Planning Commission recommend certification of the Supplemental ErR, it does not bind or commit the Commission to recommend approval of a subsequent PUD application. She further advised that the Supplemental EIR looks at the potential impacts of a range of projects and establishes mitigations for those impacts. Commissioner Roberts questioned whether the "Berlogar line" is a separate issue from the certification ofthe EIR. Mr. Roush advised that if the Supplemental EIR is certified, the reason for the "Berlogar line," essentially goes away. He noted that one of the purposes ofthe Supplemental ErR was to be able to eliminate the "Berlogar line," in that the Supplemental ErR was intended to address the geotechnical issues that were not completely explored and resolved in 1992. Mr. Roush further noted that the Planning Commission's action this evening would not create any additional lots or units in this area. He noted, however, that the Supplemental EIR will be used if a PUD plan is submitted that is within the scope of the property identified in the SEIR. r- PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 13,2001 Page 3
