ATTACHMENT 4 PUD-84, Frank Berlogar Work Session to review and receive comments on an application for Planned Unit Development (PUD) Development Plan approval to subdivide an approximately 37.4-acre site located at 88 Silver Oaks Court, in the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan Area, into up to four lots consisting of three new single-family lots for custom homes and one lot with the existing residence. Zoning for the property is PUD-HR/OS (Planned Unit Development— Hillside Residential/Open Space) District. Jenny Soo presented the staff report and described the scope, layout, and key elements of the proposal. Commissioner O'Connor inquired if Alternative 1 is a hammerhead or a court. Ms. Soo replied that it is a bubble. She added that very tall retaining walls, almost the height of a freeway sign, would need to be constructed between the properties; trees would be removed; and significant grading would be required. Commissioner Allen inquired what the habitable square footage of other homes in the area are. Ms. Soo replied that there are three tract homes and production homes —two built by Greenbriar Communities and one by Centex Homes. She indicated that the total building area for each Centex Homes tract averages 4,500 square feet to 8,900 square feet; and the Greenbriar Homes are almost 5,000 square feet to 5,600 square feet. Commissioner Allen inquired if staff had the sizes of the Silver Oak homes. Ms. Soo replied that the homes range from 3,500 square feet to 4,700 square feet, and the total building area ranges from 4,400 square feet to about 5,600 square feet. Commissioner O'Connor inquired what the average lot size is. Ms. Soo replied that the smaller one is 19,430 square feet, which is less than a half-acre. Commissioner Posson inquired which Alternative best addresses the neighbors' concerns. Ms. Stern replied that the neighbors would have to speak on which of those Alternatives they think best addresses their concerns. She noted that all the Alternatives were designed so that the road was on the other side of the development and, therefore, addressed all of the concerns about privacy, headlights from cars, and other similar issues. She added that Lot 2, which is currently just about the peak of the hill, was brought down the hill slightly to address some of their concerns. Commissioner Posson requested confirmation that staff then does not know whether or not either of these Alternatives would be acceptable to those individuals.
