/'" Commissioner Arkin noted that he would support a school on this site, especially a -magnet or middle school. Commissioner Roberts believed that the site would be a good place for a high school. Commissioner Sullivan asked Ms. Lemmons to respond to the question regarding how the District would pay for the option. Ms. Lemmons replied that the District had developed a cash flow model, and made an agreement with the developers to charge $6.63 per square-foot school impact fee. The cash flow would enable the District to build a small high school, an elementary school, or provide for additional growth in the district. The District had already begun the addition of approximately30 classrooms at Foothill and Amador High Schools. She noted that the issuance of bonds was a possibility, and that there were other options available as well, including State assistance. She noted that this was a straightforward agreement. Commissioner Sullivan requested staff to provide an analysis of the structure of the agreement when it was solidified. ,,-- Mark Sweeney noted that he would strongly object to overlaying any zoning other than public and institutional zoning. He noted that in the negotiations with the neighbors, they sought certainty. He noted that he would like to see the senior housing built with Medium Density. He noted that the option available to the School District would enable them to pay 80% several years after exercising the option, which would be at significant cost to the developer. He noted that the District negotiated hard to reach that agreement. He added that the City Attorney reviewed the option and found it acceptable. He offered to go back to the drawing board and offer a certain number of senior houses for sale. Regarding individual land use, Commissioner Roberts noted that she liked the different lot sizes, as well as the feathering scheme. She noted that she would like to see a complete architectural detailing of the project. Commissioners Sullivan and Arkin agreed with that request. Commissioner Roberts expressed concern that the single story units that placed the second unit over the garage may look awkward. Ms. Hardy noted that she would be happy to bring the full complement of their architectural drawings to the next meeting. She noted that the Legacy project in Livermore would be a good opportunity to see a full-sized plan of the architectural treatments and massing. In response to Commissioner Roberts' question whether the eucalyptus trees would be removed, Ms. Hardy replied that they would. She further discussed tree removal and undergrounding of utilities. Commissioner Roberts added that the walnut trees were in poor condition. r- PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 26, 2002 Page 12
