To conform to the State's <br /> Brown Act (Government Code at § 54950 et seq.,), commissioners were invited to a site visit <br /> either individually or in a group of two without forming a meeting quorum. During a site visit, <br /> two commissioners asked the possibility of shortening the length of the proposed road and <br /> sliding the building pad on Lot 2 further down slope so that no portion of the future home on <br /> Lot 2 would be higher than the elevation level at the western property line, blocking a portion of <br /> the sky for the homes located below the proposed site. <br /> Staff reviewed and discussed the possibility of shortening the road and shifting Lot 2 further <br /> downslope towards Silver Oaks Lane with the Engineering Division. The City Engineer pointed <br /> out that if the proposed road were be shortened and designed to meet the requirements of the <br /> Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, given the existing topography of the site, additional <br /> retaining walls would be required in order to support a driveway from the end of the <br /> hammerhead to the proposed building pad on Lot 2. The City Engineer does not believe this <br /> solution would be superior to either the proposed site layout or Alternative 1 site layout. The <br /> Engineering Division did not support modification of the roadway configuration and <br /> hammerhead design as shown on Alternative 1 site plan, but did suggest lowering the building <br /> envelope from the proposed elevation of 510 feet to the same elevation as the hammerhead <br /> (at 500 feet) to avoid additional retaining walls. Based on the preliminary grading plan, this <br /> design, referred as Alternative 2 (see figure on the following page), would result in a building <br /> pad being located at a maximum of 30 feet lower than the grades along the westerly property <br /> line. It would also prevent a future home from partially blocking portions of the sky, responding <br /> to the comments from both commissioners. <br /> PUD-84 Planning Commission <br /> Page 11 of 23 <br />
