Mr. Otto confirmed that they were. He added that the landscape architect is not looking <br /> to maximize the amount of shade and size, but rather for species and appropriateness <br /> of locations on the site. <br /> Commissioner O'Connor suggested that the Director of Community Development defer <br /> the matter to the landscape architect at the appropriate time. <br /> Commissioner Pentin referred to Condition No. 3 of the special conditions of approval <br /> which states that all uses and site development standards shall be those of the <br /> R-1-6,500 District. He indicated that he thought the zoning was being changed to High <br /> Density Residential. <br /> Mr. Otto replied that this is a standard condition used on PUDs, which utilizes single <br /> family zoning district (R-1-6,500) for uses and site development, and in the event staff <br /> misses something the applicant may want to do in the future. <br /> Commissioner Pentin referred to Condition No. 28 regarding eliminating the <br /> 1 ,375-square-foot parcel that had been previously dedicated to the City. He inquired if <br /> this would go back into the project. <br /> Mr. Otto explained that the parcel was dedicated to the City back in the 1980's, and the <br /> applicant's plan was still showing it as part of this project. He indicated that it would be <br /> a matter of erasing the lines from the plans. <br /> Commissioner Pentin noted the following typographical errors and requested that they <br /> be corrected: <br /> • Conditions Nos. 39 and 41 : "If the applicant's project precedes proceeds prior to <br /> the City's Capital Improvement Project...." <br /> • Condition No. 46: "If the applicant's project proceeds precedes the City's <br /> decision to underground.... <br /> • Condition No. 65: "...recommendations of the tree report prepared by Ed <br /> Brennan...." <br /> Commissioner O'Connor stated that he believes the fencing would propose a problem. <br /> He noted that three different fence structures are proposed: one soundwall back by the <br /> railroad tracks, and one type of fencing called a sound wood fence versus a good <br /> neighbor fence. He inquired if the wood would overlap or be caulked. He noted that it <br /> is specified in the architect's plans as a 'standard construction grade fence." He <br /> indicated that density is being upgraded and that he is not pleased with utilizing <br /> construction-grade fencing as it does not last very long in this type of environment. He <br /> recommended upgrading the fencing material to something like con-heart redwood, <br /> which is about two levels up from construction grade and would last 15 to 25 years. <br /> Commissioner Pentin asked if Commissioner O'Connor recommended that all wood <br /> fences be upgraded to con-heart redwood. <br /> EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 15, 2010 Page 3 of 9 <br />
