Photosimulation. The Commission felt that the photosimumlations prepared by the project architect were good. One Commissioner thought additional viewpoints may be helpful; but was not specific in terms of the locations of additional viewpoints. Another Commissioner wished to see a couple of viewpoints taken from the rear yard of the homes on Silver Oaks if the upper building pad is lowered. Public Comments at Workshop. Gevan Reeves, a resident on Silver Oaks Lane, spoke on behalf of the homeowners on Silver Oaks Lane and the Silver Oaks Homeowners Association. Mr. Reeves referenced a letter that he sent to the Planning Commission and pointed out that one of the proposed homes would be located outside the development area as shown on the VACSP land use map. Mr. Reeves commented that the designated development area in the VACSP is precise, not general or conceptual. Mr. Reeves questioned the accuracy of the photosimulations and expressed concerns about the visual impact of the homes. Colin Proudfoot, a resident on the adjoining lot to the west of the subject site, commented that the proposal is better than the alternatives as the alternatives would destroy the heritage trees. He noted his objection to any site layout that would have the road run directly along his property line. Mr. Proudfoot further objected to having homes located within 30 feet of his property in order to pacify the residents on Silver Oaks Lane. Mr. Proudfoot believed that there should be a solution that would lower the heights of the building pads without major grading or taking out any of the trees, and that would meet everyone's concerns. Terry Kingsfather, a resident on Silver Oaks Lane, stated that he did not have anything to add to the comments that have been made. DISCUSSION Uses The proposed uses for the Hillside Residential and Open Space areas would follow the uses listed in the PUD-5 approval. No changes are proposed. Please see Condition No. 8 for permitted and conditionally permitted uses. Site Plan Access Road. A 16-foot wide private roadway is proposed at the end of the existing Silver Oaks Court. This private roadway would then continue southerly and meander between the tree driplines providing access to both lots. This private roadway would terminate on Lot 2 with a hammerhead design as it would also serve as an emergency vehicle access road. The elevation of the road starts at 430 feet and ends at 500 feet at the hammerhead. The VACSP Land Use Plan denoted that the street to the proposed site would be a public street. The applicants propose a private road, which is designed per the requirements specified in the specific plan for private hillside streets. If it were designed as a public street, it would need to be wider. In order to preserve trees and minimize grading, staff recommended PUD-84 Planning Commission Page 7 of 23
